I saw it a few days ago. Honestly, some parts were just amazing and I loved it, and others were just very corny, and others were just plain dumb. It was a big mix of everything you love and hate, in my opinion.
I really wished they had taken a more serious approach, because everytime I got into the story, something corny happened. I didn't mind humor, and people like the kid and the girl all that much, (They were really funny) but with some robots having emotions, (Especially that small superhacker, cracking it's knuckles and bashing it's head on the wall?) and the FBI agent, and robots getting in the way of the FBI to save the kid and everything, it was just so corny... Think of it as a "Stealth". Cool concept, but just not done that well in some areas.
On the otherhand, some parts were just amazing. That beginning with the chopper was cool, and that scorpion in the sand chasing the people, and lots of the slow-mo parts. This is a movie you would enjoy more in the theater than on DVD because of the surround sound system.
It is very hard to rate this movie, but i'm going to give it a B. It could have easily gotten an A+ if it took a more serious approach and the storyline was better. Still, the visuals and sound effects are very well done. It still isn't topping Lord of the Rings for me, but it is probably worth seeing because it is an above average movie, so I vote "great".
