Ever watched a movie so cringe worthy, so bad, that it's made you want to punch yourself in the face. Well have I got one for you.

Other than being a blatant Star Wars ripoff in parts, to the point that I'm almost surprised someone isn't screaming copywrite violation, this is just the worst thing I've seen in a very long time.

Not one character you can get behind, so when they start killing them off it's almost a joyous occasion. Some of the worst one liners ever! The two leads fall in love out of absolutely no where. All different relationships are aimlessly built and lost. One pretty big plot point about a girl and her robot dad that is pointless.

There is even a "Luke, I am your father" moment.

This movie was so bad I actually got angry, I'm still angry.

How can you not make a half decent film with 150 mil!?

Anybody seen this abomination?

Sorry if there are typos, I'm mashing the keyboard in anger.

Now I really want to see it so I can experience it for myself lol

Just had a quick look on IMDB and that says it has been a box office flop


Feature

Two steps to writing a good screenplay:
1) Write a bad one
2) Fix it

This movie gave me almost the exact same feeling in theatre as seeing Jupiter Ascending in theatre.

Specifically: "Thank god I ate a pot cookie before seeing this."

I feel like the only drug that would have gotten me through this is the leathal injection.
