Concept: 3/4 (Good)
Story: 1/4 (Bad)
Characters: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Dialog: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Pacing: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Cinematography: 3/4 (Good)
Special effects/design: 3/4 (Good)
Acting: 2/4 (Indifferent). The kids are terrible.
Music: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Subjective Rating: 5/10 (Indifferent, 2/4). It's very much like Shutter Island, in that it's just a sack full of its genre's cliches, strung together to no particular effect. The only parts I enjoyed - quite unexpectedly - were the two or three scenes of Sacha Baron Cohen's romantic subplot.
Objective Rating (Average): 2.2/4 (Okay)
