The first Artificial Intelligence terrorist (Simu Liu) determines that the only way to save the Earth is to destroy humanity. After his army kills millions, he escapes for an unknown planet and it’s up to a crew led by Sterling K. Brown to bring him back. They begrudgingly take an AI expert along (Jennifer Lopez). Thus begins the journey and the subsequent conflict, much of which places her in a giant armed-suit weapon run by a friendly AI. The plot and dialogue are traditional, but it’s the futuristic tech that’s the movie’s best feature. The combats are well-staged, esp. the wild space fight. Lopez gets to cope with emotional issues in an attempt to add a personal angle, but it’s her tough side that works best. Most everything about this film has been done before, but the action keeps it moving and the futuristic visuals are original and cool.
