This was such a borefest, I can't imagine how anyone on the train stayed awake, because I dozed about 20 minutes in, got a bump from my girlfriend to wake up. Then, 10 minutes later, she tells me she's going to see if they sell coffee, cause she's falling asleep.

I got 2 more bumps throughout the movie to wake up. I think this compares with Paranormal Activity on the NOTHING IS HAPPENING scale. Characters were boring, dialogue was boring, plot was dumb, and the pc/progressive/liberal angle, enough already.

The only things that had value were Depp and some of the CGI, which I kept asking, was all this cgi necessary?

So there you have it, a boring movie that you will be begging to end. Now, I've never seen the 74, but apparently, it's better than this thing was. Brannagh seems like he was trying to emulate Denzel with a bloated opinion of himself in Fences, making every scene about him in a "look at me, I'm great, aren't I" sort of way.

This film is a fart in the wind that you hope dissipates quickly.

Unreal that a film could rival Paranormal Activity for inducing yawns, but Quintet pulls out the stops. It's not only as boring as PA, but it tries to make points that are so vague they are meaningless to anyone able to stay awake through the entire film looking for some substance.

Problems:

First, that annoying filter! REALLY, this blur filter, as if the entire film is a dream sequence.

Next, the music. It seems so out of place trying to make you think something is happening, while nothing is. Almost like the conductor had the band playing for another movie.

Plot! Where was this thing going?

I'm sure there might be fans of Altman or Newman who might like this just because, but if you're neither, this is a brutal and boring experience. Excruciating for someone hoping to see interesting sci-fi and a glimpse of someone's idea of the future.
