I hesitated in my decision to see this film because it had Jennifer Lopez. I never really liked her as an actress because she always seemed to try too hard.
Touted as the best film of the summer, "The Cell" is nothing more than special effects and visually stunning set designs. There was nothing in this film that was appealing. However, if I had to select the one thing that stood out as outstanding would be settings. With each set, it seemed like the designers got better at creating the backdrop for where the story took place. Vince Vaughn, Vincent D'Onorfio join Lopez to do their best in making "The Cell" the best movie of the year.
The number reason for its failure was because of the complexity of the plot. I couldn't understand what the writer was trying to bring across from scene to scene. It seemed liked it dragged on longer than it had to. Besides the drawn out and complex plot, the ending to "The Cell" was so tedious it was laughable.
"The Cell" did serve one purpose: it can now be distributed to film schools for students who want to become directors as a lesson in filmmaking on what not to do.
