Strange and Good
Honestly its been a while since I watched this so I dont have a lot of details. I just remember that I enjoyed how bizarre this movie was. I am SUPER woke sensitive so if I liked it it wasn't too bad.

Dim witted and frustrating
The first two minutes of the movie were enough to make an assessment, but we stuck it out through the whole miserable thing. In those two minutes you will be introduced to a galaxy faring race in a ship without the ability to detect asteroids.... Facepalm. However, they can detect those same asteroids from a pocket device on the planets surface. Double facepalm.
The rest of the movie is like watching a list of over used movie tropes just jammed together in no logical order. Strong man, recalcitrant child grow together through shared hardships. There is the disobey scene, the save big man scene, save child scene, the we are bonding now scene, the same thing we have all seen a hundred times ad nauseum. Also, there is virtually NO character development. My daughter and I could have cared less if either one or both of them died because we had zero connection to them. I guess the movie couldn't bother with that.
The CGI was pretty good. The stage props were bad. Bad rocks, bad vegetation, bad control of time of day. In a single scene with the character running through the woods for a couple minutes the time of day went from pitch black, to dawn, to daylight. Talk about ripping you right out of the scene. Facepalm.
There are two woke aspects to this movie. First, over representation of minorities. Racial quotas are racist and woke. Second, the unrealistic girl super power to save the day.
Just watch a different movie.

Powerful
An amazing story about a true hero. A difficult subject handled with the importance it deserves. Zero wokeness, a must see. Hurry, it won't be in theaters long.
