The reason is that the film is too animated, whether it is a Paris street chase or a submarine war at an underwater base in the Arctic, it feels too much animation. It always feels like an anime remake. This film is a bit too special effects, so that people completely ignore the plot and characterization. There is no moving or exciting place in several processes.
Can't compare to Transformers, don't expect a sequel.
