How about a lead boy that could act instead of just mooning with those baby blues? And what was that subplot

with the archivist all about? Booooring. And Kingsley was miscast. From despicable to kind just isn't in his repertoire. Sasha? Horrible character. Ridiculous.
The whole thing was a conceit for Scorcese to "instruct" us about early film. As such, it even sucked on that level. It was about FX, not real film. If I saw that friggin' shell hit the moon one more time......
You're partly right: I did wish for the automoton to come to life. As it is, it was the only interesting character.

Maybe the 3D got in the way for you. I saw a 2D showing. You seriously must have an empty heart if this film didn't move you or you couldn't appreciate the theme of fixing things and lives that are broken. It worked on so many levels.
