I liked the machines and their hoots. The death beams were kind of silly.
The rest of it stank on ice. Illogic plot elements, crummy acting, unsympathetic characters, illogic plot elements, poorly integrated "homage" scenes (liked the idea, but not the exicution), wrong-headed or just not paying attention editing, illogic plot elements.
The whole ferry scene stank of "wow, what a neat idea for an action sequence" which had no connection with the pervious scenes.
