Whiteout (2009)

Flat-out insulting to the viewer's intelligence. Not only is the plot dull and predictable, the writers felt the need to spell everything out as often as possible. I honestly can't remember the last time I saw a movie with such an ungodly amount of awful expository dialogue, and so many useless flashbacks.

Beyond that, it gives you no reason to care what's going on. The characters are underdeveloped, and there is no tension whatsoever. When the "mystery" - if you can call it that - was solved near the end, it may have been the most anti-climactic climax of all time. I just sat there thinking "Yes...and?".

There really isn't anything redeeming about this movie, at all...and I haven't even mentioned the gaping holes in logic (a certain underground escape left me in awe of it's idiocy), the horrid CGI, the sloppy editing - the list goes on. I haven't read the graphic novel that this was based on, so perhaps it's more worthwhile. The movie sure as Hell isn't.
