At first I thought "Ooh great, loads of stars" and then, as the film progressed, that they don't actually do anything interesting.
In addition to the points raised by others: Lack of character development or arc; poor acting; etc., one of the things that struck me the most was the state of Julia Roberts! Had she just been filming a zombie flick and neglected to change her makeup?! Jeez, especially during the scene, when they were admiring the art and painting. I actually adjusted my screen thinking that there was no way in hell that she was *meant* to look that bad.
Also, what is with the ridiculous "Pinch"? Was this meant to be a sad attempt at a comedic camp 1970s Sci-Fi movie? Even the sound effects were sadly retro. Surely a small black box - or (seeing as it was stolen from a research lab) some wire-wrapped prototype board or a collection of loose PCBs - would have been more appropriate and realistic.
But the worst of all is Clooney's smarmy face. I was constantly waiting for him to plug his highly-inefficient unecological pathetic tiny little planet-polluting Nespresso pods. What a massive bellend that guy is, overall..!
