Let’s get to something important first the original is better. It is let’s be honest, yes it was weird anyhow but it was better. I have seen the original but it’s hard to buy or find on DVD so sky movies is where I normally watch it.

Instead of going to Mars it’s now all based on the earth between Europe & Oceana after some huge chemical war thing, & the earth is now joined by a train that cuts through the core of the earth. Europe is the government power & the rich. Oceana is the hard workers who are poor & are basically slaves.

There are nods to the original, the fact that its the lady at security that hes sneaking past, the trying to bring you back to reality moment, the is this a dream, Matthias (which is good hes still there but come on Bill Nighy really), hes living underground in the over sense to living under ground, the automated police & of course the girl with three boobs.

Colin Farrell is very good in it but it’s not Mr Banks level. His dual personalities are good you do hate the original man for leading him into this but you do want the new one who forgets to save the world & do the right thing.

Kate Beckinsale is a proper bitch. I know she’s type cast as the psycho in the future but she is good at it. I did want her to catch him at some point but know the original and how these films go that was never going to happen though. It was a good twist at the end when he thought she was Melina but you know.

Jessica Biel was ok but i didnt care to much for her. Shes not the best actress in the world, she gives it her all but its not close enough to anyone elses substandard performances.

Im supposed to hate Brian Cranstons character right??? at no point when i watch the film did i want him to lose. Yes ok his plan was bad, but im sure he was doing it all for the greater good. Nope not having that. Shame hes not much of an action actor, the fight at the end felt rushed and fake and cheated out of a better ending. However the Fall falling was amazing.

The car chase was cool kudos to that, especially when it drops and they crash onto real cars on the surface.

Also his hologram in the piano was brilliant, they keys to use it the codes & then the messages all fantastic. If thats the future then thats the one thing i want, even if its just to leave a message about not forgetting to buy milk on the way home tonight.

The robot men were far too cheesy & bad, sorry cant be dealing with that. The fact he had to build them as well nope not having that at all.

Over all i am happy with this film, but would much prefer the original looking at the future a bit more shinny than films do nower days where its apocalyptic. iv got love for the 80s so lets keep it back there.
