We had 2 editors at the showing, the one that wrote the review liked it and gave it a 3.5/5, the other one thought it was lame and would have given it a 2/5.

If you saw it what would you have scored it? Just curious.

Saw it on Friday, first showing. First half travel log with hot chicks; very good, second half with the gore and violence; parts I liked very much, but when a main character's behavior does a major switch near the end, silly, made zero sense when looking at the behavior before the switch, no end game for that character. Why wait until that point in the movie to reveal? The ending; silly and unbelievable CGI given that we've seen the real thing on TV recently. I’d give it 3 out of 5 for exploitation done pretty well, 2 out of 5 for a movie which could have been much, much better with a little more focus. I thought Eli held his own.
