This movie was hot garbage.
The only CGI that was good was the ship landing sequences either on planet or on dreadnought, and lucky they were good because it happened over and over and over again.
Every scene felt claustrophobic even though they tried to make these expansive, grand green-screen set ups - it literally felt like every scene was filmed in a small room.
The slo mo was so overused it actually started making me angry.
The blatant nazi imagery, uniforms, clothing, haircuts, etc, for the big bad Motherworld were so trite I fell off my chair rolling my eyes. The use of a south african accent for the real one-on-one evil soldiers was also ridiculous.
Also, the movie didn't cram the woke down your throat, but the fact that the heroic rebels were a mix of a woman, maori, black, asian and token white against the exclusively aryan white Motherworld was kind of gross.
And speaking of that, the movie was essentially set pieces introducing each individual heroic character before the final minor showdown, and yet I felt zero connection or empathy with any character besides the main protagonist. I will say she did a good job with the material she was given, she was the one decent part of the movie. That being said, a 110 pound woman throwing hands will always be ridiculous to me, no matter the background training, ultimate badass set up.
Not even remotely worth watching.
Edit - I agree with
jayrebb
though - I pointed out a lot of things that irritated me, but the movie wasn't the worst thing I have ever seen, just not worth anyone's time to watch, really. I just felt like pointing out all the minutiae that was so obvious. The only thing that really made me mad was the slo mo, it was terrible. I've been wanting a new epic sci fi movie for so long, the fact that this was so meh made me very disappointed.
