Following Brad Bird's foosteps, Andrew Stanton, another big shot at Pixar, got the opportunity to direct a live action feature. Right way, they gave him a huge project which was no less than the most expensive movie produced by Disney so far. Well, first of all, the special effects were really awesome and they displayed some of the best CGI I have ever seen. Furtheremore, the story was also pretty cool so the whole thing really had some potential. Unfortunately, I thought it was eventually rather ย poorly written after all. Indeed, the introduction and the ending were just too convoluted and I wish they skipped all this and focused more om the action which was pretty badass. It was the same thing concerning the dialogues, they were all rather weak, they tried way too much to explain what was going on but it was not necessary whatsoever and rather boring to watch. Still, I really liked this world and those awesome aliens and Taylor Kitsch was rather well cast. To conclude, a lot of people were predicting that it will be another flop for Disney (like 'Prince of Persia' a few years back), and it was indeed nothing mindblowing, but I thought it was actually pretty entertaining and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
