So much on the screen, frenetic pace, all noise and mayhem. I couldn't even tell what was going on most of the time. How can you be engaged when you don't know what's going on? Check out the 2009 film "Moon" if you want to see excellent storytelling and see what can be done with a very limited budget. I think huge budgets stifle creativity. Film should be about the story and the characters and the acting. Remember that the best scene in "Jaws" didn't have 'Bruce' the shark in it but rather was just Robert Shaw, a wonderful actor (RIP), and the Indianapolis speech.
