So-so, not great but good special effects

Okay, forget all the hype you have heard about this one. Yes it was one of the most expensive movies filmed etc etc. Get this, picture Lion King combined with Terminator and now you have this film. Great special effects and nice backdrops paint the picture of this predictable story of the good guy changing sides because he get a conscience and decides their is a worthier cause on the underdog side. Being a former Marine myself I did like all the jarhead influences and Stephen Lang plays a great tough Marine Colonel. Sam Worthington does a pretty good job with this one as he did with Terminator, but the story gets deep and they start singing chants and hugging trees and singing together and it loses you around hour 1.5.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

This movie was okay with a shining Matt Damon playing a very convincing corporate nerdy midwestern scientist. It didn't really start to get good until toward the end and dragged a bit in many spots. The thoughts in Damons head throughout the movie were hilarious and he did a great job playing this part. The story is pretty interesting and won't be for everyone. If you are not into the corporate business world you will be bored in this movie. Bakula was pretty good in this as well and some surprise cameo appearances by Mike Omalley, Joel Mchale and Patton Oswalt. Real surprise cameo by the Smothers Brothers. I think this one could have been a lot better. Damon literally carried this movie.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
