Thoughts in a Pensieve

Wow, did I really just wast that last hour and 40 minutes with that? See I thought it would have been slightly better. but come ON. I don't know if it was the cardboard acting, or the blatantly fake CGI. There was some good CGI, but then other stuff looked like it came right out of... I don't know, it was just bad.

Cheezy lines. How did the characters know some of this stuff. How come the the pilot was smarter than the 60 something year old scientist. Sure it was a casual character to kill off in the electricity gate thingie but... How come the characters were conveniently able to escape things.

I know why this was so bad. It was all shot on a green screen set. Quite frankly, I think that's why the Star wars prequels get such a bad wrap. They were mostly shot on a green screen. what that translates to is now sense of surroundings and natural reactions on behalf of the characters. "And Action... now look surprised, now say your line, now conveniently escape, Sure you can pretend to bunch big flying robots.... We'll back it look believable in the editing room."

I am going to go find some way to get back my 1h40min. of course, add another 10 minutes with this rant. oh well.
