  Rather uninspiring. In spite of sporting a cast of well known Asian action actors, predominantly from Hong Kong and some top shelf special effects. The best the writers could come up with is a plant from outer space. Does that sound a little dull, well yes, that's because it is. There is a degree of decent action, in the form of aggressive alien creatures, that live on the giant plant and a conspiracy with attack robots. That said, this feels like padding for a core idea that was never great to start with. In short, nothing special, which is unfortunate given the quality cast and money spent on this film.

  This was actually a fairly decent action flick. The story and script is nothing to write home about. It is the kind of nonsense that makes you think it came from some low-IQ woke Hollywood script writer. It is not though. This is a Hong Kong movie. Me and the boys sat down yesterday evening and looked for a movie to watch and my second son suggested this. I was a bit hesitant since at first I thought it was a Chinese movie. China of course wants to pretend it is but Hong Kong has not (yet?) been fully assimilated by the Collective of the Chinese Communist Dictatorship so… The story starts of with Earth being a dystopian world where we made wars, destroyed the ecology and poisoned the atmosphere bla bla bla. Hence my reference to woke Hollywood. To add to humanities woes a meteorite crashed into Earth delivering a “plant” that grows at a rate that defines all physics when exposed to water. As I said, the script is nothing to write home about. However, it is good enough to string together the action and the special effects and this is where this movie delivers. Also, after the initial rubbish preaching the movie is luckily pretty free from that crap. It is fairly gung ho rollercoaster of action, killer robots and alien monsters. The movie feels a bit like a walkthrough of a computer game turned into an action movie. That sounds a bit bad but we actually enjoyed it. Provided you park your brain somewhere else it is a fun movie to watch. The bad guy is a bit anemic and them letting him to continue his shenanigans all the way to end, even though he had been exposed, just to let our heroes fight through the last of his robot minions, was just nonsensical script writing. Still, it was a fun one hour and forty minutes. I’m just surprised that the “critics” of Woke Tomatoes has given it a 88% rating. Probably due to the first 10 minutes of woke rubbish. After that the rest didn’t matter to them. There was a mid credit scene as well but it really didn’t say anything except to give the notion that the producers wanted to leave the door open to some kind of sequel.
