"Somalia is not a good idea James".(An advisor gives some profound advice when told by James where his next destination will be in his quest to uncover terrorist cells).

Wim Wenders takes us on another rollicking ride (Until The End Of The World) using a chance, love at first sight, meeting of the beautiful Professor Danielle (Alicia Vikander) and rugged James (James McAvoy) to bring a sweeping drama to screen. The deal here is, there is so much to like. The beautiful backdrops (Nth Atlantic, France, Germany, Jibouti), actors with chemistry both looking great on screen although Vikander as a professor is not believable and then all in all it's just all a bit boring. The great screenwriter William Goldman describes good films as being, mostly, written well then it's down to the sum of its parts. The limited dimensions of plot weigh heavily against Submergence, it just doesn't add up to a satisfying experience. There will be plenty of cinema buffs who will ruminate on the beauty that Wenders brings to the screen here, I was hoping for more. 7GUMS.
