A cheesy B movie with lackluster special effects, hokey dialogue, and mediocre action sequences. The premise is initially intriguing, but they way it is handled squanders any potential the film had. The acting is also pretty much a joke except for Paul Bettany, who brings credibility to most roles. It is, however, a pretty darn entertaining movie for all of its missteps. It has a rushed climax and the movie feels constrained and small in scope compared to where the story is trying to go, but it does have some B movie charm. It won't be everyone's style and it will probably be hard for quite a few to appreciate, but its a decent time if you know what you are in for. It is not a good movie, though.
