LockoutJust went to "Sneak Preview" this evening and watched Lockout. Sneak is always some gamble but you pay less money and watch a cool movie a few weeks before release (in Germany) if you are lucky.
Lockout is something like a futuristic Action-Thriller. Im too lazy to tell you about the whole setting, just watch the trailer, if you are interested please

He does very well at dropping cool dictums and is just a symbolically cool, muscle-packed, hard guy, that gives a shit about the world. His jokes are usually cheap but still made me laugh. When he talks it's 90 % sarcasm.
Snows job is to rescue the presidents daughter (as always) This time from a prison in the orbit that girl just visited.
Well, flat story, every room looks like the same on this space station. Overall a lack of diversity. I got to add that an actor plays an evil psycho very well and in a funny way.
As I said, the story pretty much sucks. The main charakter and some others are awesome, they simply did not make too much out of that. The movie has a lot of funny moments though and entertained me in the end quite well. Remember I watched it in Sneak Preview. You are quite happy, if you don't have to watch some romance bullshit and get this instead.
You can go to the cinema and watch it if you like, but there are probably better movies out there.
The end is a little of a cliffhanger though, maybe the sequel will be better.
7/10
Probably a little bit worse, but 6,5 looks like a bad movie, which it is not
Just a regular, funny movie to watch, give it a try if you are bored.
