This movie does have some good acting in it and that is a big compliment considering that the film is loaded with CGI and special effects, and some of them are poorly done. There are times in which the creatures simply look fake. There are so many explosions going on in the movie and police lining up to shoot the next CGI creature, that realism soon is totally set aside. Sure, it is a fantasy film, but it is sad that if the viewer were to take an extended trip to the restroom that, more than likely, the same explosions and creatures you would see before you left the theater, would be there doing the same things when you returned from your little break. The word “insipid” implies a lack of sufficient taste or savor to please or interest. A fellow reviewer and I agreed after screening this film that this movie defines the meaning of insipid.

At any rate, despite good performances from Jason Behr as Ethan and Amanda Brooks as Sarah, the violence is almost non-stop once it starts about fifteen minutes into the film, and the concept of reincarnation and mysticism is so strong a theme in the movie, that we cannot award our Dove Seal to the picture.
