About
You may enjoy this if you want loud naval sci-fi action in the zone of The Meg or Transformers: Rise of the Beasts; Not for you if you need smart plotting or grounded realism.
Pros: explosive sea battles; flashy alien visuals; easy popcorn fun | Cons: thin human characters; shaky story logic; corny dialogue
