What starts as "Robocop with a teen girl" turns into "Rollerball" and ends as "Elysium". There isn't anything original with the plot here and the characters are all bland and two dimensional and none of them stand out from any other generic interpretation of the same tropes that we've seen in countless previous blockbusters.
For years, Hollywood blockbusters have been ramping up the special effects and the visuals and sidelining storytelling and characters. And finally we reach the epitome of that style of film making.
No amount of visual pizazz can compensate for bland characters and bland story.
