Might have just been my mood that soured it, but overall I think it just falls short of its marks. Good ideas (in spite of incredibly cliched dialog and plot devices), but the dialog needs to be snappier, the action needs to better paced, much of the acting needs to be better, and it needs a lot less dead weight. And, of course, I've never thought gratuitous 3D brings much of a value-add to any film, certainly didn't save this one for me.
Overall, it's just not tight enough. It's trying to be a roller-coaster, but it's built more like a log flume.
Still, worth a buck or two. Would play moderately well at a Marathon as a premiere, maybe "King of the Ants" or "The Refrigerator" kind of reception. I doubt I would recommend it otherwise.
Just my opinion, after all.
