It was kind of disappointing, but they did blow up a bunch of stuff so that was OK.

It seemed like half the movie took place in the dark. Why do they do that? I guess it saves production costs if there is nothing on the screen. The Harry Potter movies did that a lot too.
The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy

The last Harry Potter movie was almost unwatcheable on our TV as it was so dark. Very annoying.

They have a word for movies like that: Radio.

There is a line we cross when we go from "I will believe it when I see it" to "I will see it when I believe it".

Part of it is the way movies are made now to make the most of 3D technology.

3D really affects the brain's ability to interpret landscape as it does with a 2D image. What I mean is, the brain is working so hard to construct this 3D image and make sense of it in the way it does with normal vision, that it starts interpreting the information the same way - looking for important things, discarding unimportant things, and it totally messes up the the science of "set design" and cinematography as a way of evoking emotion with color/texture/lighting.
TRON Legacy used this same tactic, and it made for a stunning movie in 3D - the contrast between the light and extreme dark made the image pop that much more, because the brain couldn't handle the 3D processing as well as trying to look at a bleak landscape (picture No Country for Old Men and the emotions the landscapes themselves created) and create a "feeling" for it.

I think 3D movies are massively over-rated. Generally, there's a couple of minutes of 'ooh, look at that' and then it's forgotten. Plus, they give both my wife and son headaches. Let's face it, I can give my wife a headache without spending $30. I just wiggle my eyebrows in a suggestive manner and she has to go for a lie down in a darkened room.

I bet lying down in a darkened room is the last thing she wants to do if you're running around the house with that look on your face.

Oh, the ladies love a bit of moustache twirling and eyebrow play. It drives 'em mad, sir.
