Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
A waste of 90 minutes of my life
I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
