Exorcist: the Beginning

1:10 Matinee with *A on a Sunday, just to up the blasphemy factor. Alas, that was not enough to make this any more entertaining..
I'll try to focus on the good, but all I can remember is the bad CGI. CGI flies, hyenas, cities, breath, soldiers, and the devil!
Star A liked it, she really likes arcane religious artifacts. Well. So do I, but not at this price.
Remembering the Exorcist, the long periods of nothing, the horror in broad daylight...the intimations of evil. Ouija board versus CATscan duality, symbolism, diametrics. All subtlety lost in this "made you jump" prequel.
