1.0

Everything about this was disappointing. 

I can suspend a certain amount of disbelief for science fiction, but the leaps in logic were so wide it’s like he doesn’t even try to connect one thought to another. 

The characterization is ridiculous. 

The religious commentary is flat and shows a great misunderstanding of non abrahamic religions. 

The romance is shoehorned in. Stiff and completely unnecessary. 

The social response  is unrealistic, over the top, and treats humans like animals. It’s an outdated point of view. 

The writing is basic and has a monotone feel. 

I cannot find a single redeeming quality.
