It was OK. Being a California resident it was hard to see the likeness of Arnold towards the end. I used to love these movies because of him... Now they make me sick because of him. Christian Bale had a VERY unimpressive performance - I did enjoy Marcus' character though. I thought we'd get a deep story, an epic movie, another one for "the ages" after a TERRIBLE Terminator 3, but alas this movie was just a good summer spfx movie with poor to mediocre acting. Check out Angels & Demons or Star Trek.
Seven Pounds is a truly beautiful story. Although it ends in a state of affairs that will leave you holding back tears - or at least trying to - it is not a sad story. The previews didn't really give us a clue as to what it the movie is TRULY about, and the movie doesn't either - until the final 25 minutes. This one is all about perception; its meaning will lie in the eyes of the beholder. You'll be crying both tears of heartbreak, as well as tears of happiness, simultaneously... The Direction is incredible, and Will Smith is PHENOMENAL. In one word: Powerful.
