The Good : The Special Effects were really good, from the cgi ships and backgrounds to the practical makeup and prosthetics and more, all of it was great. The costumes and set dressings were rich and full of life, hinting at a real lived in world with more to say. The minimalist way of storytelling with mostly essential scenes and few lingering dramatic ones that go on too long and add too little. The acting was good and solid for the most part.
The Bad : The whole sequence where she (Kora) talks about the “super special princess” and the gathering of her warriors looked and felt like a mid 90s to early 2000’s T.V. show and with trope after trope being strug together in a rather boring fashion. I didn’t mind the tropes in and of themselves it was their lack of personality like a well executed technical dance scene but with no passion or inspiration. Also some of the music was ill timed and did not fit well.
The Ugly : All of the fight scenes were choreographed (of course), a couple Looked choreographed which is bad, but a few of the shots during the final 1v1 fight not only looked choreographed but were poorly done which was ugly. And of course the ugliest, suspension of dis-belief is one thing but can anyone actually expect us to believe that a piece of poity metal could pierce the protective bubble around a side gunner? A piece of metal not propeled to hyper velocity by an exploding ship in the void of Space, but by a human (enhanced or not) with their own hands And that the entire ship was slaved to that one control stick without any Driver Safety Devices whatsoever! seriously can’t wait to see what cinema sins has to say about it. fyi: The OG DSD known as a “Dead man switch” has been around since the !890’s just sayin’.
That scene in the beginning whith the vagina shaped portal and funny shaped space ship, it wasn’t ugly enough to really be included here but it was stupid looking.
