The five minutes of vintage Movietone clips are far better than this entire movie.
The sloppy uses of CGI, if I must insult that acronym, were sophomoric. It was difficult keeping my jaw up and my mouth closed for the perpetual perspective flaws of the CGI scenes. That doesn't kill the film. The lack of direction, poor performances by the actors, and weak production sinks this plane early in the Atlantic instead of the Pacific. Story line is one paragraph deep, nae, a fragment of a line.
I enjoy the cast typically, however, their performances were far from adequate. The movie tried to jam a world conquest and a complex personal relationship of two films into one short underdeveloped film. There was little character development, they were thrown at me without reason. I was not emotionally invested, therefore, I could care less what happened to anyone. Die/Live, Hate/Love, do not ask me to choose because I do not know these characters, and thus, do not care.
This is a Mamma Mia! of a movie, see review for reference.
