I wasn't expecting anything from this movie. At a 6.6 I thought it would be the usual drone, formulaic new action movie that was politically correct, had heroic females that made men look either stupid or pathetic, then tried to cram some kind of post 2020 message down our throats. It was none of that. It was a movie that my husband and I might have seen 20 years ago. Which isn't a bad thing. Because in war? Nothing has changed except for the tech. This movie not only addresses some of new tech, it has a true hero that never expected or wanted to be one, showed true friendships between generational and ethnic gaps, and what it means to never leave a man behind. Even though there were times, more than a couple of times, where situations seemed ridiculously impossible to escape, it continued to be truly exciting and/or entertaining to watch. And at the end of the day, isn't that what we want out of a movie?

This show just went down 8 full "points" in my estimation. It is much too clever to rely on such ridiculous sexual references. Just really REALLY over the top. Like it was written by frustrated adolescent middle school boys. So sad, to watch a series demean itself so completely. It's not like it hadn't been widely inappropriate in the past, it has. This just sunk to such a new level of hedonistic and, again, ridiculousness, that it was painful to watch. Hasn't "Hollywood" gotten the memo yet? Clever and innovative always succeeds, shock value always fails because, again, middle school fantasies are for middle school.
