It does look and sound good, I've watched it a few times. Hell, I even bought the deluxe version. Good presentaion does not make a good movie, some acting and a script helps. Pay attention to the plot, such as it is. It has so many holes, doesn't even stand up within its own context, tries so hard to pull all the right emotional strings. This is a formula movie, totally pathetic even in the popcorn genre, there are so many better. I won't even get into the politics of it, which together with all the rest makes this what I call a really bad movie. In fact, watching this movie makes me angry, and its success in a certain market makes me very worried.
