Superman and Supergirl take on the cybernetic Brainiac, who boasts that he possesses "the knowledge and strength of 10,000 worlds."I was trying to avoid writing about this film because it really is just average. But I found myself with more free time than I anticipated so here goes:
When one of Brainiacs probes lands on Earth, Superman destroys it and decides to track down it's origin. Against the protests of Supergirl, Superman heads off to fight Brainiac, a half organic half cyber being who travels the universe and collects information on planets before destroying them.
On Brainiac's ship, he finds miniature versions of each planets biggest city with its inhabitants still trapped inside. He is captured before he can free them and during interrogation reveals the existence of Earth, which Brainiac immediately makes plans to destroy.
Superman faces his "biggest task ever" and has to find a way off the ship, save Earth and save/free all of brainiacs trapped victims.
Spoiler Alert: He does.
Each time I hear of a new Superman film, I expect it to be average but I secretly expect so much more. Superman: Unbound is unfortunately no different. Unlike the rest of the DC Universe, He is a character of high moral values and that doesn't allow him to be edgy so he's kinda boring. Plus outside of Doomsday and General Zod, his villains are pretty one dimensional i.e. just as boring. I thought that by being "unbound" he may finally shake off those shackles, but no. Just no.
Lois Lane on the other hand, gets increasingly edgy with each film.
Superman: Unbound is just average. The inclusion of Supergirl was nice, but overall the film didn't offer any bite. Watch it if you're into that.
Explosions? Yes
Nudity? No
