This is an adequate time passer without ever hitting the insane heights of some of Jovavich/Anderson's previous work - based on a game series that isn't particularly plot heavy, this therefore ends up with fairly thin characters running around arid desert locations fighting various monsters which are mostly pretty generically designed. On the plus side the film minimises the guff, emphasising the monster fighting and the bonding between Mila and Tony Jaa, with a couple of exotic extra characters entering late in the flick - on the minus, the monster fights never get a chance to go gorgeously over the top - it's all presented fairly flatly - even the weird weapons don't really get a chance to show off as much as they should.
