Confusing storyline

Rating: 8/10 (13 August 2019)

It plays like an entry in the new Star Trek Series. Uneven. Good but could have been better. Spends a lot of time telling the origin of her life. A very comic book-like plot. Just who the good or bad aliens are is at first a mystery and then reversed. A CGI cat that is really an alien with an attitude. How dumb! Like many Marvel Movies there is a lot of action but the character of "Carol Danvers" remains an enigma and too Supergirl-like. The alien power source is small like that in Supergirl (1984) and one of the aliens eats it for safekeeping! Very violent, hence the PG-13 rating. The last half-hour finally lives up to the "hype" about the movie, when I had almost given up on it. Worth seeing again. My 10 year old grandson loves it. Is that the intended target audience here?
