According to sources on the web, the film cost somewhere north of $230M. Some estimates went as high as $300M. Toss in another $150M for promotions and you're talking real money. One of the most expensive films ever. So far, at least.
The Old Amigo is puzzled. You might think with all those bucks spent on 3-D and special effects they might have found a top-tier science fiction writer and asked him/her to write an original story. Something a little less in the COMPLETELY PREDICTABLE department, for instance. You might also think with all those bucks, they'd hire a great screenwriter so there'd be excellent dialog.
You might think those things.
But you'd be wrong.
