There are some bright spots....the visual effects/CGI, the score, the sound. But when I'm not invested in the characters, it's hard for me to like a film
PRAISE: Director and writer Zacks Snyders latest movie definitely made me remember about a dozen Sci Fi and Fantasy films that have come before it.
I admire it for its ambition as the story about a peaceful colony on the edge of a galaxy finds itself threatened by the armies of a tyrannical ruling force, Kora (Sofia Boutella) rebels and gathers other rebels throughout the galaxy.
The various characters are interesting including Djimon Hounsou as Titus ; Ed Skrein as Atticus Noble ; Bae Doona as Nemesis ; Ray Fisher as Bloodaxe ; Charlie Hunnam as Kai and Cleopatra Coleman as Devra. The action sequences are good for the most part laced with some good SFX . There some good character building especially for Kora and the various worlds have interesting looks and detail.
PROBLEMS: There are some areas in which the movie is lacking in creativity. I definitely sat there saying that's from Star Wars and oh that's from the Matrix.
The problem with setting up a universe like this with a sequel already in place even with a two hour and fifteen minute run time several of the multiple characters are going to have well let's find out more of them next time arc.Some of the action sequences are a bit jumbled.
The dialog was definitely a bit off at times adding to an almost lumbering feel the movie has at times. Definitely a couple of predictable moments.
Uninteresting characters, every sci-fi/fantasy trope imaginable (shit had a griffin and spider-woman) cartoonishly evil villain…nigga is a literal space Nazi
