Despite the big-name stars and high advertising budget, this film doesn't have the feel of a blockbuster. It was released too early in the Spring, and for me it's right before SXSW and its non-stop parade of world premieres.
This isn't necessarily bad, though. It didn't feel like they were pressured to get the exposition out of the way and get busy with special effects. I liked how they eased into the weird. Instead of turning it into some sort of long adventure to find the Chairman, they let most of the movie build momentum for one final chase.
Do note that there are some not-so-subtle religious undertones to the story. If this bothers you stay away. But otherwise I think it qualifies as decent Spring filler.
