Quite a disappointing movie. Before the conclusion, let's take a look step by step:
1. Story: Empty beginning, anti-climatic ending. Everything in between barely making sense at all. The ludicrousness of the plot reminds of Promotheos(sarcasm intended). But there is a big gap between a deep Sci- Fi movie with upcoming sequels and a DtV anime for the fans. It took me some time to figure on the net, who the heck were the antagonists(beside the story told in the movie). Even then, it has almost nothing to do with their canon comics. Where did Zeke get his powers from? What's about Sasha's DNA?(Wiki says nothing about her powers being DNA-related in particular)Why did the events unfurl the way they did(the final clash)? And why did it end so... peacefully? I doubt these questions will ever be answered.
2. Animation: Cute and cuddly. Would almost like it, if it wasn't cliché to the anime. Looks like I'm watching Iron Man themed Evangelion or something. I guess that's the only reason Japanese animators took this movie - it has android-tech in it!
3. Cliché: Mechas. Androids. Tentacles. Monsters. And utterly ridiculous "suit" of Zeke. Which anime was it borrowed from?
4. Cameos: Okay, Shield was fine. Hawk was too off, but Natasha compensated him. And, wow, Punisher? This deserves a plus.
Conclusion. I had to kill some time while waiting for download, the movie did it's purpose. I did not enjoy it, but neither was I totally disgusted. This movie could be tolerable at it's best, if not for the points 1-3, which I listed. Could've been 6-7 with a better plot and stuff, but unfortunately it's a 3, which roughly stands for "cute, franchise and cameo".
