High production values, great use of tech and design. Pretty good acting from all involved. But oh dear oh dear what a truly awful script.
The plot is full of more holes than a Swiss cheese factory. Real groaners and they took away from immersion.
The film could certainly have lost 20 minutes of running time without any loss and would have been tighter for it.
Eclectic references to many other films from Apocalypse Now to Blade Runner to Chappie. Not necessarily a bad thing, but there was a bit too much "Vietnam War" vibes for a film set 40 years from now.
And please, could movies stop having gun battles where the shooters just stand exposed in open ground until they are inevitably shot down. Take some cover for crying out loud !
