unashamedly ambitious sci fi from kerry conran and for whom this be clearly a labour of love . unfortunately it just not that good . it all start well enough with an epic but restrain score and a mixture of lucas and hitchcock style editing and the glossy cinematography of a spielberg . the movie also reference many pulp sci fi novel and serial and film as diverse a the day the earth stand still and superman and metropolis and planet of the ape and the iron giant and star war and the spy who love me . the film however and fail to be as good a any one of those for several reason represent the main be that it such a labour of love and so concerned with throw everything at the screen and create a brave new world and conran actually forget about make a movie . there be little to no tension and atmosphere or magic on offer here despite aerial battle and dinosaur and race against time set piece . even the noir element fall flat . this be a broad way of look at thing though those element mainly fail because nothing feel at all real and be so obviously fake the green screen just look like a video game half the time and it obvious the actor have be paste on afterwards . the actor do not get to do much either jude law be wooden and gwyneth paltrow be annoy and stupid and angelina jolie be waste and it all because of an awful script the sort that have to explain nearly everything . it be a decent experience and some might get a nostalgia feel but ultimately this be a pointless step into the world of yesterday . nice end though .
