in short and this movie be completely worthless . the idea be to make movie from the point of view of what someone from the early 1900s might think of the future . an interesting idea and but the lack of compel story or character prevents u from ever suspend our disbelief and so the idea just flops . apparently the whole movie be do with actor in front of green screen and we be suppose to be impressed . but a a graphic person and the over softening be an obvious crutch for hide the difficult sharp edge problem with green screen . the color be majorly wash out to no relevant effect except reduce the visual quality . and i do not understand why anyone would consider anything render in this movie to be in any way ground breaking . if anything and the ridiculous retrograde graphic have lower the bar for really bad graphic they do not measure up even to the ancient jurassic park graphic . the model for the robot be so simple and plain and very uncompelling . there be a bunch of weirdo prehistoric like animal on that island and but they be not explain in any way . the story be horrible beyond belief . in fact i can not believe i do not just walk out of this movie . the relationship between polly and joe be unmotivated and and throughout the movie be base on distrust and deception . why be the morris paley character even there . we be not in any way convince that joe be heroic i mean he fly a plane and and save one person ( polly ) for personal reason . yeah there a great hero for you . dex have very little screen time and so why be we suppose to care about joe want to save him . who be the nepalease that lock joe and polly in the mine vault and and why would they do it ( remember that the entire totenkopf operation be robotic ) . plot hole represent ( 1 ) why do bai ling character ( a major fall from her excellent character in the crow ) halt the robot who have capture joe . they be look for the vial and and have not find them . ( 2 ) why in the hell would dex be capture but not kill ( he doesn not have or know about the vial and and the bad guy do not know that polly have the vial and be connect to joe and therefore to dex ) . ( 3 ) polly indicate that they do not know anything about totenkopf and yet she have some secret source about him that contain what appear to be a fairly complete fbi style file on him . ( 4 ) the blank spot on the map a describe by the nepalese if they know all about this mysterious area and then why the hell be their map blank in that spot . ( 5 ) at one point and polly and joe have to give up their clothes ( they be burn ) joe be give new clothes that be identical to his old clothes and yet polly be force to wear some very odd look bulky dress and then in the same line of continuity suddenly polly have her original clothes back . sigh . how far off be i suppose to switch my brain to watch this crap . we be suppose to be exhilarate by the over produce music and even when nothing interesting or remotely exhilarating be happen on screen . and the acting . be suppose to be impress with a bunch of bad british accent . which character isn not annoy . i think ling bai dialogue be probably the best in the whole movie ( she doesn not have a single line ) . the dialogue wasn not camp and and doesn not even rise to the level of cheese . it just bad and annoy . these people aren not hero or compel while they be the kind of people you would try to ignore or disassociate with if you ever have the misfortune of meet them in real life . i can not believe that this movie get an above average rating here on imdb . imho it should be compete with batman forever in the bottom 100 of all time .
