I realize my review is likely going to p off Arnie fans, but hear me out. I happen to like AS, but this review isn't about him, or even the movie, but the story. While there were some gaping holes in the logic, both theological and rational, the essence of the story had real potential. Envision this story with another lead - Willem Defoe just as a possible example - and tone down the wild effects, extremes and fire power - the essentials of the story would still make great - or at least semi-great- story telling!
If you are a fan of powerful emotional fantasy with lots of room for theological yearning, this tale has enormous potential that it just missed achieving. I gave it an 8 out of 10 for striving without achieving. YMMV
