I was hoping to like this movie, and visually it was stunning, but an excess of style is no excuse for not including a story. The script (whilst having a couple of funny one-liners) was not impressive and in their attempt to make the movie a spectacle any actor direction/motivation was seemingly lost.
I appreciate what the filmmakers were trying to do and the visuals were spectacular, I particularly liked the floating airstrips, but the actors didn't really engage with the scenery. What should have been gasps of awe at the grandeur were merely 'Oh, jolly good'.
The highlight I think was Angelina Jolie and the amphibious squadron, but the rest of the action was really not up to par.
An unfortunate 4/10 (sorry Jude Law, love ya, but...)
