I agree, although I really would like to see some CG mechs in action
Anyhow, this seems like the cinema equivalent of "shovelware", where everyone and their dog is making a video game movie after the success of 'Tomb Raider', just like everyone is making comic movies after the 'X-Men' and 'Spiderman' blockbusters.
All I can do is hope against hope and pray against all odds it won't completely suck.

P.S.: I very much enjoyed Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, so you can probably disregard any sense of movie taste I might have
