That’s what killed it for me. Early on.I thought they’d be OK but they broke me and I, mentally, went “well you can fuck right off with this nonsense” and then they kept piling it on. It would have been bad in a cheap fan film and I have no idea what possessed them to do it.
Even the whole premise of a station coming out of nowhere, somehow somewhere flung out of orbit, somehow getting captured by their planet’s orbit, just to then be on an intercept trajectory with the ring.
I was waiting for them to drop an exciting in-universe explanation for that and… I’m still waiting.
Things that “just happen” to move the story forward or up the peril are signs of bad writing. I’m still curious about the writing process - did the studio interfere and make them do all that or did they genuinely create exactly what they wanted to and hand it over to the studios who greenlit it without anyone along the way calling out the fact that it was terrible? I’m not sure which option I prefer.
I did not care for this movie. It was poorly written, tasteless, and had gratoiuois rib elbowing nostalgia references.
