I missed seeing this in theaters because I was traveling for work initially, and then it disappeared from local cinemas. I’m honestly glad I didn’t spend money on tickets, as renting it from RedBox only cost me $1.62. The preview didn't reveal much, which was a good thing. I really dislike trailers that spoil the whole story. A visually appealing female lead is always welcome... And there was some simulated nudity—a suit, to be precise—though you can decide for yourself about that. Beyond that, it’s just the same tired tropes we've seen in countless other science fiction films: Lots of fighting, shooting, explosions, and destruction – far too much of it. It seems most sci-fi and superhero movies these days rely on those elements alone. The first hour was incredibly dull. Around 70 minutes in, it became marginally more engaging, then the constant action sequences began. There's nothing compelling about that—we’ve all witnessed similar scenes many times before; it’s just absurd. Why do characters always miss their targets when they fire? That familiar problem persisted throughout. It’s not entertaining to watch thousands of bullets fly and nobody hitting anything. Given the advanced technology supposedly on display, why aren't the weapons more sophisticated? I actually fired a handgun earlier this year while in Arizona—my very first time shooting. It was a Colt "Peacemaker," that classic six-shooter from the “Wild West.” You don’t really aim those; you just raise them slightly above your waist, focus on your target rather than the gun itself, and pull the trigger. After only a few shots, it felt quite natural. Almost anyone could reliably hit a person-sized target at various distances, even if they're moving. I managed 24 hits with 24 rounds fired. Yet, in these movies, people can’t seem to hit anything, even when aiming and using superior weaponry. And then there’s Major—her artificial body can stretch and tear, wires break, yet it still functions? That's simply unrealistic; that's not how mechanics or electronics operate. The city itself was a ridiculous pastiche of "Blade Runner" and "Fifth Element," but with fish floating around. It wasn't remotely interesting; just silly. One small but very irritating detail: They can create an entire body, install a human brain, and make everything work perfectly, but they only give her a bad wig or haircut? That’s odd. Her uneven bangs were distracting every time she faced the camera. Overall: The movie has impressive CGI, but it's paired with a nonsensical plot and poor acting. Amazing special effects alone don’t create a good film—this is a clear illustration of that point.
