You can read that this movie is full of clichés. A lot of movies are. However, the makers of this one didn't quite seem to understand any of them. The story is silly - and very predictable once you know it is so dumb, so don't try to think that some scene was smart or you will be disappointed in less than 5 minutes. There are a lot of big factual errors, too.
The movie doesn't even have a real conclusion and the main threat doesn't even look as threatening as it should. There are a lot of gaps, the characters are totally flat, CGI is lame, action scenes are not entertaining at all and pseudo-scientific gibberish is truly terrible, especially because it is not really necessary. Why they didn't consult some smart 14-year old about technical details?
Far Cry (2008) by Uwe Boll got 3.2 out of 10. The Marine 2 got 5.0. I think these ratings are pretty accurate. The Losers got 6.5, so you may think it's better than any of these.
It is not.
