Alas, the finest technology money can buy can't disguise basic flaws in plotting and structure, and flatly written, blandly heroic protagonists. |, April 18, 2009 This film's style is not simply unique, but stunning, and there's no denying that, but after a while, the rich abundance of stylizing kind of wears on your nerves a bit, though probably not as much as other forms of embracement of the pulp classics this film pays a bit too rich of an homage to. You can only go so long with the intentional corniness of this formulaic classic pulp piece homage, which would be more forgivable if it wasn't broken up by glaring total lapses in plot structure that thin out characterization and slow-down periods, all but to total dissipation.

But flimsy characterisation is the biggest problem ... he visuals are phenomenal, rendered with so much love and passion that each frame is a marvel just to behold. After New York City receives a series of attacks from giant flying robots, a reporter teams up with a pilot in search of their origin, as well as the reason for the disappearances of famous scientists around the world.
