An average movie

Honestly, I wasn’t sure what to expect from this flick but since there was a decent cast, I thought I might as well give it a try. Apparently, it is a remake of an older flick starring James Stewart and Richard Attenborough, a flick I have actually never heard of but considering the decent ratings, it seems to be pretty good. Anyway, since I haven't seen the original, I can't say if this remake is better or not but I thought it was not bad at all after all. Indeed, there was a decent cast made of B actors (Dennis Quaid, Tyrese Gibson, Giovanni Ribisi, Miranda Otto, Hugh Laurie, Jared Padalecki) and I always had a weak spot for adventure/survival flicks. Of course, all the characters were all very stereotypical and the whole thing was rather predictable. Furthermore, to be honest, I wondered the whole time if what they said or did made sense at all but, still, even though it was nothing amazing whatsoever, I was rather entertained throughout the whole duration. To conclude, it is nothing really original but I thought it was a well made and entertaining flick so I think it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
