Has it truly escaped everyone's notice, or am I simply shouting into a void here?

The floodgates are about to open with the comments, mark my words, because now that he's hit the torrent sites...

Kazu: if you don't have anything nice to say, just stay quiet.

That's it.

Watched it mainly for Goodman. Honestly? A total snooze fest. And even he felt wasted in this one.

It’s actually not that bad. It starts off slow and the plot gets a little messy at times, but there’s a certain charmingly dull vibe to it. For me, it’s a pass. 🍿

I honestly can't believe they managed to butcher such a goldmine of a concept as colonization and resistance. Throw in aliens? Seriously? It’s got every single ingredient for a masterpiece, yet they still managed to fail miserably. What kind of low-budget production studio put this together? Someone needs to colonize them already—it won't be a tragedy if they do.
