Some moments, but ruined by focus and music

Rating: 3/10 (30 November 2017)

a legitimate sci-fi plot, is never an opportunity for nothing but the reinforcement of to-be-attractive changes in the individual after joining the military, and when taking a step back from the main CHR's perspective, only a few other things remain, that will keep expecting-more from their sci-fi fans, in watching this - some might be less exposed to some of the tech introduced in it, which is of some interest, but if familiar, this film is crammed with tired tension-building devices, simplified characters/relationships, and little OTHER, than a straightforward inequity/innopertunity base plot, to make people who have acted outside the law, feel better about themselves, when going beyond the family values they say are paramount, but not in people they exclude from deservedness, per religious impact-teachings.
if that's your thing, then i guess it's a blast, and without too-complicated a plot , it keeps it's dynamics consistent enough, that you can concentrate on the action.
acting-wise tho, practically no-one really seemed interested in their characters, with except perhaps the nurse... she was the only one not involved in killing others / being in a position of taking rather than sustaining life.
the exploitation of the simplified emotions within it, for the impact-religious teaching claim, is quite obvious, not that I'm disagreeing with whether or not the inequity plot / innoppertunity plot, was undeserved.
it was, deserved, but that's not a reason to only have two antagonists against it - gangs, OR, the then in-memory, to-be-kept-precious-in-memory religious sub-plot in the memory of the main character.
it did not need to be there... neither did any gang content.
it could've done just as well, with a RECLUSIVE, hidden, secretive, low-numbers Spider's den type source(ie, not easily-found, from continual partying),.. or, without the privitiva-contrast.
it is no reflections-causing piece-du-renaissance , to contrast a poverty-end perspective, with the robotic natures of the two corporate/centralized control characters,..
Also, the beleiveability of how easily/quickly, a "secretary" , with shoulder-pads to match , took over the entire society there, is quite pointless to re-assess - by this movie, all you need to do successfully pull off a cue, is have a bit of a i'm-determined so you have to do what i'm asking you to, because normally it's your father, or normally it's you who makes the decisions in this relationship , or, it doesn't matter if my suggestion is a bad one, i'm the under-represented gender in this workplace, you have to do what i'm telling you to, because its MORE than a suggestion - it's a direction... hmmmmphh!
I'm a feminist, and are all for equity and gender-balancing ... but this was offensive in reverse...
not against men/masculinity ... but offensive against anyone with any sense of just how easily taking over, really is-NOT.
You could tell the anything-in-the-way to a heroic ending, directors/producers, really didn't CARE, about this film. Good enough to get a few teenagers and low-rank schmucks, for the bucks, was good enough for them.
