An extremely generic space thriller, which eventually turns into a silly space slasher. During the slasher scenes everything goes blurry in an attempt to make it exciting, just ends up being annoying.
 
An interesting psychological thriller with a disappointing ending. It has a bit of an indie feel, which works for the movie. There is a resemblance to Triangle, but without all the action - that film is a better choice.
 
It's a grand movie - unfortunately the dialog and acting are so phony in many cases that it ruins the story. Eric Bana was one of the few who delivered many of his lines in a genuine manner. It is refreshing to see a number of short battles.
 
As usual with Zooey Deschanel this film has a lot of goofy elements, but manages to be charming at the same time. The little guy versus big guy story has been done a million times - but this isn't one of those stories.
 
A bit like The Road Warrior on the ocean, but far more interesting. It isn't a fast paced movie, but it creates a fantasy world in a believable way. Jeanne Tripplehorn is really the star, compensating for Kevin Costner's monotone acting.
 
This had some good moments, but overall the pace was ponderous, and the script/dialog were contrived - especially in the beginning. That said, I did enjoy the ending, and the second half of the movie was quite a bit better than the first half.
 
A hollow movie that hits all the obvious points, and doesn't offer up anything special. The acting is average and the story and chemistry are completely sub-par.
 
Edward Norton is far better in the role than Eric Bana. This is what the first Hulk movie should have been like. Finally a Hulk movie good enough to leave you hoping for a sequel.
 
Jason Statham is fine as usual, but the supporting cast is really weak in this sequel. Robert Knepper does shine as the villain though, a perfect role for him. Transporter 2 is still the best in the series
 
Much more entertaining, albeit less realistic, than The Transporter, this film delivers a high dose of action with a great cast to pull the whole story together.
 
An interesting twist on the action movie genre, Jason Statham delivers a good performance and keeps the film fairly entertaining. Shu Qi tends to scream at anything and everything though, which can be a little annoying
 
The beginning is rather blase until Jennifer Love Hewitt shows up. Unfortunately only the scenes with Anthony Hopkins or Hewitt in them felt strong, the rest of the film just had an air of indifference.
 
Jane Fonda is a little grating, but Jennifer Lopez and Michael Vartan have great chemistry. It helps that Wanda Sykes and Elaine Stritch are excellent comic relief. The ending was overly cute, but that was expected so it wasn't a huge detriment.
 
John Travolta and Nicolas Cage give solid performances, and although it isn't a full-tilt action movie it has enough to keep the story interesting.
 
Sandra Bullock's role was downright cringe-worthy - a lot of the movie consists of her being neurotic - but about half way through got better. Ken Jeong, Katy Mixon, and Thomas Church are amusing, but it still doesn't make this film worth watching.
