Just saw it. It was boring ass shit. They went with the trope of covering up a really thin story with as many bullets and explosions they could pack in, all of which bounced off the named characters, who could breath on an extra and he would fall over dead. Even the doddering old scientist type could stab someone dead with little apparent effort. Rather than generating excitement it just killed tension and it was too damn loud. My girlfriend fell asleep during it. Literally.

Basically avoid. Not even the genuine acting talents of the cast could save this movie, and they did try. The soundtrack was great though, I'll give it that.

So you are saying that I would love it. All I need to be happy watching this is Bruce Willis saying cheesy one liners while plowing through extra fodder.

Tuned in, immediately get to watch cringey Ubisoft talking head offering her deepest sympathies to the families impacted by the Orlando shooting while flanked by a man in a giraffe suit and some sort of "horrifically garish neon costumes through the ages" exhibit or something.  We need to stop this fucking planet right now and sort some shit out. -Kail

He doesn't seem to do much "one liners" in this. Its basically a constant repetition of "don't give my girlfriend a gun!!!" But your mileage may vary of course.

I fell asleep. Like only thing keeping me up was respect for the friends next to me who where apparently falling asleep too....which made me feel less guilty about dosing off. I will say the most offensive thing about this movie, wasn't the plot, the shit action that bordered on slapstick... no... what offended me was that this movie was 2 hours and 30 minutes long. Or at least it felt that way, because I slept away at least an hour.

When she crossed over, she was just a ship. But when she came back... she was bullshit!

116 minutes according to Wikipedia.  Too long for an action/comedy, I think.  Oh well, it wasn't something I planned on seeing in theaters, anyway.
