If this were a golden age Hong Kong film it would look great and have a crazy story, but Hollywood doesn't handle having a weak script very well.

(Yes, I know it was an amazing technical achievement, but the writing was pretty hokey. The dialogue was silly, and the plot was contrived to fit the effects.)
