This is a very descent film. Maybe the CGI is cheesy and the acting a bit wooden. But it does offer a deeper meaning. In our time and age is very hard to judge a film by the quality of CGI. But that is the whole point. It doesnt really matter. Noone has ever chewed on the wrapper instead of the chocolate bar.
It would be fair to say the CGI is bad and everything else is bad too. But this is not the case. And it is an error to snowball this film by taking account of the CGI.
Lets examine this case in reverse. What if the same film frame by frame had an astonishing expensive super impressive CGI ? You would not be able to see past that. The meaning of this film would be hidden under so many layers of heavy CGI that you would not be able to see the meaning.
The cheap CGI releases the ability of the viewer to receive the meaning of this film. It makes it easier to see past the effects curtain and see what is on the other side. Stallone knows this. He is an extremely experienced actor and film maker, he might not be a Stanley Kubrick but in this case I think the cheap CGI was meant to be cheap from the start. I think it was a wise choice to do so by Stallone.
And that is why we are going to get another escape plan.
