Part 4/7:
Despite these performances, the film suffers from poor character development and convoluted plots that feel disjointed.
Plot Contrivances and Absurdities
One of the film's principal downfalls lies in its outlandish plot formations, particularly regarding geopolitical tensions between the United States and Japan as it progresses to 2025. The unrealistic premise of these nations on the brink of war raises eyebrows and saturates the narrative with implausibility.
Further compounded by puzzling casting decisions—like Shira Haas as Sabra, who, despite her talents, presents a physical mismatch to the role given the character's supposed prowess—these choices sap the film of credibility and divert focus from the core story.
