WAR COMES TO EVERY WORLD.

In a galaxy far away, a princess (Sofia Boutella) is hiding from an evil empire on a distant moon, but soon soldiers are coming…

The kind of space opera that looks like it was conceived by a 15-year-old who’s watched Star Wars and Dune far too many times. On the plus side are a brisk enough pace and impressive technology on display, but the lack of creativity when it comes to characters and plot is a major problem.

The band of heroes are too dull to make us care and the villains look like your average Fascist in a uniform.
