Robinsons go to style for action sequences is a frenetic whirlwind of quick cuts and random angles that makes Michael Bay look like Michael Powell.

There is much to be said about the utter ridiculousness of the villains in the movie, but it doesnt seem right to give too much away.

As the characters amiably shuffle their way through rote zombification, whats missing is a sense of peril on the way to the films intriguing finale.
