thanks, and I see your point-judge an action movie foremost on the action.

I agree the first viewing of the alien "normandy" was enticing. I think I may have came in with overly high expectations.

Based off a Japanese novel, I think the film would have been better off embracing the anime stylistic choices-and just going fully animated. I believe I likely would have enjoyed the film if it was Japanese production. The film would have felt less bogged down by tired western sequences with tired western actors, and though equal tropes may have presented at the behest of Japanese audiences, they would have been new to me and aid in the films desire to be comic, and rather amusing narrative.

What I'm saying I guess is the superfluous elements in which I base films off would have been aided tremendously by foreign, literally or otherwise, direction.
