How did this script get past storyboard?

Rating: 1/10 (22 December 2017)

I think it is the consequence of most of the best gen-X storytellers coming from TV/Netflix world (Breaking Bad, Lost, Game of Thrones, etc). They have some really good ideas, twists, character journeys in their head. The downfall in this situation is that they are giving each creator a two hour window to do it. It doesn't work.
It is extremely hard to have a continuous storyline in a movie franchise, it is simply too long between films, and too brief telling. Its ok to give a wink to a past event or allow your characters to develop over time, but the majority of the most successful franchises (Indiana Jones, James Bond, etc) are just the same enjoyable characters having a new adventure. Any actual continuity is mostly in our heads.
This could have been a really great TV series. As a single film, its a jumbled mess. Too many climaxes, rollercoaster character arcs, and no time to enjoy any payoff we might have experienced along the way.
Feels like I just binge watched 8 episodes of a TV show.
