I am constantly amazed by the kind of films people can pay money to see. I tried to see this film twice, and both times I fell asleep in the middle of it (I didn't pay to see it; maybe, had I paid, the thought of financial loss would have kept me awake, but I doubt it).
The plot is predictable, the ideas don't work (cyborgs have no better way to get energy than to keep humans alive? And where do they get the energy to feed the humans? Are we supposed to think that human bodies violate the first principle of thermodynamics?), and the acting was... well... not there.
There are, of course, special effects and action, but after years and tears of the same things, one would think that the public had grown beyond saying "ahhhhh" every time a dazzling (and expensive) special effect appears, or to cheer every time a good guy chases a bad guy. Evidently not. Too bad: special effects are killing the art of telling a story and developing a character that are the basis of fiction.
