It was filmed with a Sony DSLR you can buy at a big box store.

With a bunch of Lumetri Speedlooks from the looks of it

Wow this SUCKED hahaha. I'm kind of shocked at how bad this was, and I don't think it looked especially good. It's impressive if they really made it for that budget (I am skeptical) but it was just a very flimsily written, extremely cliché Lone Wolf and Cub story with some basic Asimov shit, every turn of which can be easily predicted far in advance, and which looks fairly generic in terms of its filmmaking. Bad bad bad

So Avatar 2 is better then

I’ll finish the rest later but this is bad.

Two movies in a row with Sturgill Simpson, who shouldn’t pursue acting.

I was excited about this because of Gareth Edwards but I also didn’t like it at all. I’m not convinced John David Washington is leading man material.

I think he just hasn't been very lucky in his choice of movie yet

he doesn't seem to have much personality.

In an ironic twist, I’m convinced AI penned this stupid screenplay.

Loved the aesthetic, but yes the screenplay and lead were bang average. I'm surprised so many of you are offended by this movie's existence, though, considering your comic book movie diets.

Honestly this was worse than The Marvels

Now you're just being ridiculous.

Both bad movies, but there's a dopey charm to The Marvels (mainly Iman Vellani) that elevates it slightly from this self serious slop

I'm assuming Joey.

Also, Jorge has a voodoo doll of the lead actor, which seems a little excessive.
