Actors: John David Washington, Gemma Chan, Ken Watanabe, Sturgill Simpson, Allison Janney
Rating: 8 out of 10, A very interesting sci fi epic film,
despite the obvious Chinese influence. John David Washington once again proves
that he’s that rare son of a renowned actor who can more than hold his own. He
plays a disaffected former soldier called back into service to hunt down a
doomsday weapon developed by the enemy. The enemy is AI which seems to be the
latest cinematic trend towards not offending any one ethnic group. Superimposed
on the plot is an unconventional love story as well as a true test of
parenthood. While the movie takes a while to get to the point, the acting and
special effects make the wait more than worth it. There is also a very funny
moment involving an automatic language translator, highlighting a love of
mother. A well done and thoroughly enjoyable sci fi flick.
MVP:
Watanabe is great even with only half a head
