So, I saw it. WOW. VISUALLY SPLENDIFEROUS!
The plot was LAME. The dialogue was FLAT. The character development was NIL. There was not one second of suspense or one moment of surprise in the entire two hours and forty-five minutes. I could predict everything about twenty minutes in advance.
That said, it was the most compelling dull movie I have ever seen. The visuals were amazing on all counts. The phosphorescence of the plants! The variety of insects! The performance capture! Yes, it there was a hint of cartoon (with such a lame plot, there would have been whether it was animated or not) but it was stunning to watch. With the eyes. Not with the brain.
I'm glad I saw it. I am now "in" on the cultural phenomena. It deserves a billion awards for visual effects.
But, take away the visual effects, and it was just. . .sad.
