Ehhhh. I'm willing to give it a shot.
I'm really having trouble taking that guy seriously as a leading man though. Maybe that says something bad about me or perhaps about the movie industry in general, but something about him just seems off.
As others have said, it's awfully heavy on the CGI, but I can deal with that.
My thoughts were on watching the trailer:
I really, really want to punch the lead in the face. Can think of no other word beyond "douche" for him and his partner. Definitely looks built for the YA crowd, so I can see where they're going. Too old to like them, but not old enough that I can view them with detachment yet, I suppose.
The CGI looks fun though. Does remind me of The Fifth Element. Doesn't have to be good, per say, but it does look like the good kind of inspiring and interesting design. Reminds me a little of Jupiter Ascending of recent note, but more grounded. Hard to resist a good space showing and art.
The plot? hahahahahahaha. Certainly a YA plotline: something evil is coming, and only you, the young adults can save us all! Terrible idea, but at least simple and not bad enough that it ruins things. If it gets the plot moving between multiple gorgeous set pieces and has some action attached, then it has done the job it needed to do.
I could certainly see this being a movie I'd like to see. If I can resist hating the leads enough.
