Middle School

Rating: 2/10 (7 April 2018)

This is an example of writing for the middle school masses. Not yet bright enough (well not all) to be critical, and with little history of seeing cheap inaccurate redundancies.
1. Centuries from now fighter craft w/combustion flaming propulsion? Please!
2. Everyone is still wearing what looks like WWII surplus clothing, and the purple dyed hair in Vice Admiral (what does the Navy have to do with all this) - how late 1900s.
3. Sound effects dominate the movie (a crutch I suppose for lazy writing & research) in the vacuum of space (or just anywhere to add effect). Also, overbearing music though out to add effect a form of cheap action subbing.
4. Lots of dumbed down simplistic dialogue thus showing no desire to educate an audience or require thought.
5. Same old storyline - boringly predictable.
6. Too heavy a reliance on the same old visuals of things burning in space which incidentally would also fail middle school science. Also, the accelerations/decelerations - not possible especially for living occupants. More dumbing down.
7. All these years no one has ever bothered to explain the physics behind a light saber laser stopping a meter away from it's source.
Conclusion: Scify (Sci-fi) can be done intelligently w/a bit of creative research & writing, and less concern for the bottom line.
