There was potential within this film, but I'm sad to say it didn't live up to it. I don't know whether that is the fault of the actors, the writers, the directors, or a mixture of the three. Sam Worthington was great in this, as was Anton Yelchin and their characters were the most interesting. Christian Bale on the other hand was god awful, if you want to see him doing that bad Batman voice for two hours go see this. I'm beginning to think the guy is seriously overrated. The plot holes were big and glaring, even if this was a reboot of the franchise it should have either gone all the way like Star Trek did, or stayed faithful to the material of the other Term films or the cancelled tv show, instead it just kinda does everything halfway.
