as much as we like brendan fraser - and we do - even he seems to be tired of appearing in nearly plotless fx flicks. (or maybe he simply likes the payday's, since he's starring in yet another mummy sequel.)despite the gimmick (it's 3d), the fx read as computer graphics, and it's nearly impossible to be any more interested than the cast, let alone suspend disbelief. the characters are an excuse for the fx, never more substantial than sketches. this isn't the cast's fault (unless you fault them for reading this pathetically flimsy script and still deciding to sign on).
it might end up making a little more than it cost, but there's no reason that you should subject yourself to this land of the lost wannabe merely to give walden media's bottom line a kick.
our advice: go see hellboy, instead.
