A movie with such an amazing trailer can't turn out to be a bad, can it? Unfortunately, this is exactly what happened. Putting together such a predictable plot with such boring and unsympathetic characters can't lead to something good I'm afraid. Although it seems to have potential, especially judging by the sheer number of enormous creatures depicted, it manages to be simply dull and boring. As you don't get to care about the characters, it becomes quite difficult to be involved in the action and actually enjoy it. Although some actors try to make a good impression, it becomes obvious that they're effort is doomed to fail judging by the plot which simply isn't capable of delivering a good experience.
In terms of upsides, there's little to say. The visuals are great, detailed and pleasant to watch, thanks to some great CGI, the chosen scenery is also very well picked and you do get a bit of excitement in terms of action, but due to the above mentioned, drama, emotion or other feelings which may derive from a movie are quite scarce or not present at all.
As a conclusion, it's a movie you can easily skip or forget, definitely not worth your cash, even if the 3D effects from the cinema might help it a bit in terms of overall experience. It does way too little things good as opposed to the many that it does wrong.
