Okay. It's acknowledged, that even though someone has taken a Y A W N...ho hum plot line, at least to a new venue -- the coldest place on earth, they failed to give us at least the sense of actually being there. Instead, the story is broken up with the thought, "Yeah, this is a studio lot." But, wait. Did I see Kate Duh De Duh, the leading lady in a tank top!! P a a l e a s s e! With temperatures below minus 30-40 degrees, where skin freezes in seconds, don't think that the audience has forgotten where the story is taking place, even though they're inside! Just outside these minimally insulated walls, there are the bleakest, most harshest conditions on the planet. Our leading lady wouldn't be in makeup, would she. No! She'd be in flannel, perhaps or insulated and layered clothing! She might as well been in a Condo off the beaches at Palm Coast! We are tired of pap movies, boring plots and dare I say...cartoon movies! Give us what we want. And may I speak for most all other intelligent and interesting movie fans: Be creative, yes. But also hire technical experts to match the location, so that you don't 'dumb-down' the viewing pleasure and cause us, as we're watching to laugh at how bad the 'presentation' of the movie really is, leaving us with the feelings of being insulted and taken for our money.
