Incredibly simplistic and tired themes

Rating: 2/10 (30 July 2019)

This was plain and simple a very bad movie. The society was supposedly holding back on helping the rest of mankind, yet they choose their leaders through single combat. We see every day that technology alone does not save us. Good politics does a great deal of good. Bad politics does a great deal of harm. Technology is just an ingredient in that. Choosing leaders that way is so anachronistic as to be laughable and clearly is not part of a society that can help anyone, let alone themselves. The writers clearly have no knowledge of history or anthropology. Then, also, the actions of most of the male main characters being largely based on irrational and emotional responses does not lend itself to a stable society. If women in leadership acted on their emotions that way, they would be removed immediately in most every screenwriter's world. This movie was full of cliches, was not based on knowledge of actual history or politics; it was shallow and without substance.
