Story is pretty average fair for the franchise. Taking two of the most popular actors and giving them their own offshoot ended up working just fine.
A lot of the action scenes (island scenes in particular) are SO absolutely unreal that you are required to completely suspend reality for much of the duration. There's nothing wrong with that (I mean, racing a submarine as it breaks through the ice coming toward you had to be topped?) as long as that's what you're looking for.
As with the entire franchise, it's a mood movie. Not earth shattering, but still a good time if you allow it to be. If you're the type to nitpick plot holes and storyboard gaps, avoid.
