I talked my mom and brother into leaving a family event to see it, and I apologized for doing so as soon as it was over. I thought it wasn't good at all. I didn't think anything was earned, his empathy for the kid, the whole america bad thing, nothing. I don't understand how he could spend 2 years undercover, fall in love with a robot sympathizer and none of it rub off on him, then go spend 5 years clearing the robot 9/11 still believing they did it, then get cold feet when he saw the kid. I think we should have seen him coming around to his wife's pov, maybe playing some pickup basketball with some robots or something, have them tell him at the beginning that they didn't set off the bomb, and during his hiatus he's researching the real cause. He finds some hints and some unreliable evident begins to question the government. Then he gets roped in and his hesitancy to kill the kid is understandable.
Why was the nomad ship completely unmanned? How did the kid waltz up to the control deck without so much as a "hey kid, you can't go in there"? Was it just so the kid wouldn't have anyone to kill when she brought it down? Easy solve, have her "secret weapon" just be a super computer that needs to get on the ship to retrieve evidence that it was the US who set off the bomb, forcing a peace. Jdw could be so mad at the government for the lies and killing his wife that he alone brings the ship down (if he's capable of showing anger)
What was up with the blue targeting lights? Just a cool effect? At first I thought they were necessary to aim, but at the end the ship sends missiles all over the world, so being right above the target was wholly unnecessary. Dumb. Also, if they left LA, go to the ship, and right after the ship is over a target, how did it get there so quickly? They were on the ship for like 20 minutes and it crossed the pacific that quickly?
