Exactly!
Where was the story telling? Where were the characters? Where was the craft? Yes, it was pretty...but pretty does not equal good.
The twist did not reveal anything about character (unlike the twist in Fight Club, which was all about revealing character) it simply existed for its own sake - and it held no water.
