The true story this movie is based on is a rather bland and irrelevant affair that i suspect was pulled from hollywood's "true story" bowl at random. Still, i was hooked by its well written plot that actually kept a nice pace and never slowed down. But the biggest problem this movie had was its cinematography. It was directed by the legendary Steven Spielberg yet it feels like a movie i'd see on the SciFi channel.
The film has so much bloom during the daytime scenes and Spielberg often makes the random choice of replacing windows with giant walls of artificial light. It literally reminded me of video games when the developer cant be bothered to create a biome outside of a building level, so they just make all of the windows in the building opaque with a fake light. And worst of all, the CGI was HORRENDOUS. This is coming from the same guy that made War Of The Worlds?? What the hell happened.
Tom Hanks was great, and the overall experience was decent but i don't get why this is being treated like a masterpiece when it felt more like a popcorn flick.
