5 or a 6. It comes across slightly cheesy. It's clear that they were somewhat going for a Moby Dick inspired character, and there's a lot of Apocalypse Now influence as well. They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but it's cases like this movie and War for the Planet of the Apes where I have to disagree. What did you think?

What I liked about this movie was some of its unique creature designs, but otherwise I found the movie fairly forgettable.

I know that the director of this movie is passionate about Metal Gear Solid and will be directing a movie based on that game franchise. I'm hoping it's good, but at the same time I'm trying to keep my expectations low. I doubt it could ever be as good as the games, and video game movies have a pretty depressing history.

He always seems like Samuel L. Jackson to me, and that's not a bad thing.

Yeah, it's hard to see him as not Sam Jackson. He's the kind of actor that could really elevate the experience of some films, but also take you out of believing the reality of some other films. His presence can sometimes be too big for some movies.
