Great cinematography and directing, terrible screenplay and editing.

Rating: 7/10 (14 January 2020)

For being the most expensive independent film ever made, it delivered. The cinematography and directing by Roland Emmerich were on point, but although the film had mainly decent pacing, the 138 min runtime felt much longer. Terrible choppy editing made matters worse. I get this is amateur writer Wes Tooke's first full length feature film, but when this indie film cost $100 million, why wouldn't the producers at least have a seasoned screenwriter look over the flawed script. Casting was however great as was the score and production sets. Sure the CGI/S/V/fx could've been better, but for an indie film, they were adequate. It's a 7/10 from me
