Problems with the movie
1. The year is apparently 2043. There will not be any form of the advanced technology (Fusion batteries, Ion Bombs, Powered Armor Suits, Faster-than-Light Stardrives) in this film in our real world in the year 2043. We probably won't even have Fusion Power Plants in 2043. Los Angeles will not have a thousand new skyscrapers by 2043, in fact it will probably look almost exactly like 2024. Feel free to bump this post in 19 years to prove me wrong, because those 19 years will be here before you know it.
2. We cannot get to the Andromeda Galaxy, and we most certainly will not by 2043. Did script writers even check out the distance between our solar system and the closest star, nevermind a galaxy that is 2.5 million light years away? If this film took place in the year 3043, that makes it much more plausible with centuries of human and AI knowledge increased.
3. When Atlas is on the ship heading to Andromeda, you can see stars flying by at super speed. That's cool and all, except the vast majority of the trip would not have any stars whizzing by, there are no stars between the Milky Way and Andromeda. It is called dark space.
4. No one seems to actually care that they are traveling to another galaxy, which is absurd. There is no mention of exploration or previous trips to Andromeda and no one even asks how are we supposed to get there?
5. The majority of the movie is Jennifer Lopez in her powered armor complaining, crying out in distress, swearing and cursing, and constantly in turmoil. It got very tiring within the first few minutes, except this is the whole film.
6. Great special effects and music, but poorly written story.
7. At one point the film felt like Aliens, where they're all on the USS Sulaco getting their briefing. But then in this film everyone dies and no characters are developed despite the camera focusing on a few of them during the briefing making you think these will be the main cast, but they're not.
8. When I actually enjoyed Rebel Moon 1 & 2 more than this, that says a lot. Although it was cool to see J-Lo in science fiction, WHY would you have her complaining during the entire film?
9. We can't detect the soul in the human body because we ARE our soul. The soul uses the brain to control the body, that much is obvious. AI does not have a soul, it has a program. It has lines of code to mimic human consciousness and sentience, and it does not have either. One thing is for sure, we will have AI Rights Activism and AI Extreme Fundamentalism by 2043.
10. We can travel to Andromeda Galaxy in 2043, but the coffee machine is still the 20th century version and still fracked up? Umm no.
11. No one talks about human colonies and worlds throughout the Milky Way, okay so we'll just skip the exploration of the Milky Way and just do Andromeda Galaxy, because it's so much further away. Makes sense. Who wrote this?
12. "Now we do what he won't expect!" /slaps him in the face. Good grief.
5/10. Fun & dumb unrealistic popcorn film, but certain elements get old very fast with too many implausible situations & scenarios.
