tempest be base on the classic shakespearean work of the same name and but bear little resemblance to it source material . it masquerade as be as cerebral a it namesake and but instead be a jumbled and convolute and and hackneyed exercise in tedium . the original probe the premise that people have an evil side and which would be destructive if unchecked . here you just get an uninteresting mid life crisis ( yawn ) goof ball who be have everything go wrong in his personal and professional life . he become endow with a supernatural power that he use to try to control his environment while in other word represent to get his own way . every few minute and after something else in his pathetic life go wrong and he find a secluded place and start babble show me the magic . while wave his hand around and make a serious concentration expression . from the way these scene be shot and it look like he try to turn bug into other kind of bug . turn a spider into a cockroach and maybe and but by this time and you really do not care . the story have him bolt from his life with his daughter to a greek island somewhere and then have a awkward relationship with some girl he meet and one of the dull romance ever commit to film . the story just bog down and move at a slow and slow pace . you be never give any reason to like or dislike anyone . i will give this a 2 because of the beautiful greek location shot and the semi optimistic conclusion ( although it isn not clear if the tempest power bring this end about or not ) . the spirit of shakespeare work have be capture much well in other movie while one notable example be forbidden planet and which give credence to how the power get out of control . a for this tempest and it only magic be to cure insomnia .
