I considered writing a long review of everything that was wrong with this film, but I've realised that I'd be here for longer than it took to watch. Let me tell you what was good instead. It had really good visuals, especially when none of the lead characters were in sight. Some of the effects were really good, and a few of the planets (seen only briefly, unfortunately) were gorgeous.
Unfortunately, that's all I can say that's good about it. The actors, beaten into submission by the worst script ever, had clearly given up trying. The dialogue was really, really, really awful. It was so bad that I'm examining its badness for meaning - and not finding any. The plot went from A to B in the most predictable manner possible. The bad guys were bad, the good guys were incompetent and inconsistent, and the rest of the universe stood by, pretty much.
I honestly can't believe how bad it was. It's the movie equivalent of producing a beautifully made, full colour, illustrated hardback book, unedited and not even proofread.
