As stated, this is not a thinking man's movie. The cinematography is good, but the writing/story/dialog is not. The three protagonists, while among some of my favorites, are held back by the poor writing and cannot elevate the film above a mindless killer of time. The saving grace for this flick are the special FX. They are truly top notch; if not for the FX, this movie would be about a 3. See it for the cinematography and the FX, but leave your brain at the door.
