So is John David Washington getting stereotyped as the guy you have in your overly long science fiction movie with lots of effects?
Humanity is immediately a terrible species and deserves to die entirely. Fortunately, the AI robots have this thing whereby they have an extreme MacGuffin that can solve the situation (rather finally). And so we have the movie which is "protect the MacGuffin" while humans are terrible and there are a lot of robot effects going on to deal with.
Which, while glib, doesn't portray the movie's content, which is rather enjoyable. This is over two hours, with no real need (there is a LOT of travelling from one place to another which could have been abbreviated), and we aren't talking startling plot points that you can't immediately tell from the trailer, but I was actually watching the whole time, despite watching this on my computer. (Which isn't to say I wasn't distracted at times, but hey I got things going on.)
Good casting there, and nice to see Allison Janney as Evil Military Lady.
This might be a big movie at the moment... but I don't see this having lasting power.
