Query: Ludicrous

I doubt there has ever been an assemblage of so many A-list actors, such a respected director, and so much hardware in the service of such a bad movie. The scientists all act like they have no idea what their lines mean or how scientists behave - everyone except for Morgan Freeman overacts absurdly. The plot, such as it is, is beyond ridiculous, culminating in the most pointless and unmotivated helicopter chase I can remember seeing. It's almost as if the director had in mind that he had to put in a helicopter chase, regardless of its role in the plot. There are too many movie cliches to mention. The whole film reminds me of that parody of bad Hollywood moviemaking that Anna Scott reads for in Notting Hill.The highlight of the film is a bravura 3-minute single-shot steadicam tour of the lab (starting at about minute 4). It's a great shot and shows that Petersen still had it; I guess he lost interest in the movie after that shot though.The blu-ray transfer is excellent.
