This is a very good idea for a science fiction movie that could have rivaled how good "The Edge of Tomorrow" could have been if it hadn't been turned into a Tom Cruise (albeit entertaining) vehicle.
This would have been better made by a mid-range budget team like the ones who make things like "Spectral"; this was spoiled by too much money.
This is a 'product' designed by several committees of experts in their field and every role is cast with a headshot, every aspect (script/plot/ directorial move/character arc, etc.) ticks off an ambitious cliche checklist, all in support of a lead who satisfies the box office, not the role.
I like Pratt fine but he belongs where he belongs. There's nothing wrong with him trying to expand but there is something wrong with everybody pretending the supposed 'macho hero' isn't a goofball.
There are some very good FX ideas and I had to finish writing this so I could get to the mouse and start fast forwarding to the only reasons for it.
