Please just don't waste your time. Everyone with 10/10 scoring, shame on you. Good CGI, good storyline, any realness you cannot find in this movie. Next time send the budget to people in need, and spare us the misery of watching such a hollow and uninspired attempt at filmmaking. The plot is predictable, the characters are shallow, and the dialogue is cringeworthy. It's clear that the focus was on visual effects rather than substance, and even that is just absurdity.

This is a prime example of style over substance, leaving the audience with nothing but a forgettable experience. Save your time and money for something worthwhile.

This movie may have changed my life for the better.

Let me first start off by asking - What were they thinking? By they I mean everyone involved with this movie. The acting is terrible. The story is terrible. The filming is terrible. The studio effects are a joke. This is so so so so so bad. I really tried to watch this. I even stopped about a quarter of the way through, went for a walk, gave myself a pep talk and tried watching it again. It was torture but I persevered. It didn't get any better. It only got worse. Like watching an animal slowly die, it just got worse and worse and left a sickening feeling in my stomach once it was all over. I felt so guilty for the time I had wasted that I actually made a commitment to cancel my Prime membership and instead get more active to make up for the time lost on this garbage.

The names Hemsworth and Freeman got my attention. Then the Prime Video score suggested it was worth a try. However, 10 minutes into it I realized I was tricked. This movie is just awful. No kidding. It's bad! The fighting scenes are about a five out of ten. The rest was just bad acting and off-sync sound effects. They threw in a nude bar scene to try and spice things up. The closing song was Amazing Grace. Can you believe it? So much of this movie was bad a script. Everything was so contrived. The Young boys acting was the best part of the performance. Hemsworth had the right look, but he just lost it with all the bad Fight choreography.

This has to be one of the most lackadaisical films I have ever seen. The CGI seems like it was done on a flip phone or by a class of 1st graders. Not only do you have 1 parachute scene that is so poorly done that they decided to do 2 more parachute scenes. Some guy was like "that 1st parachute scene was so legit that we must have atleast 3 chute scenes". Any explosion scene was hilarious. They performed the scene and then again from another angle then again from another.

The music did not match the scenes. The acting was horrible, writing seemed like it was done while sitting on the toilet while taking CGI classes.

Morgan Freeman, wtf? I know he doesn't need the money that bad. Luke, just stop it man. You will always be thespian Thor. Nothing more, nothing less.

I was looking at the reviews debating if I should watch this and I thought surely it can be as bad as all these one to three star reviews say it is. It actually intrigued me even more to watch it. And Morgan Freeman is there how bad can it really be? Spoiler: don't make the same mistake I made, the bad reviews are spot on.

The entire time watching this I was thinking this could have been a perfectly average action flick. The god awful CGI is the main factor that completely tackles this film from being acceptable to being ridiculous. I haven't seen CGI this bad in 20 years, and the fact it has Freeman and one of the Hemsworth brothers in it makes me believe they had enough of a budget to have decent CGI.

Second thing is the soundtrack. The songs seem so random and not aligned with the scenes at all. The first fighting scene in the forest has this jolly jazz track over it and at the scene in the stripclub they play this sweet innocent lovesong that seems more in place in a teenage Disney show. I was waiting for them to play 'Call me Maybe' at the end scene.

I would give 1 star but the bad CGI and random soundtrack were so laughable that in the end it did entertain me, for all the wrong reasons but still.
