Maybe he was in a different movie? Sad to hear about WotW. I will see it soon, but I can smell the stench of another high concept failure from here. Yes, as bad as A.I. The entire picture is really dumbed down, focusing more on the effects than story. You hit the nail on the head about the sappy ending, and he used narration to sum up the ending! The more I think about it, the more I hate it.
