I've only seen screen shots so far, but something looks very amiss about all these rips (irrespective of the file size)

This is supposed to be an epic sci-fi blockbuster, but all the posted images appear to look very 'cropped' and/or low res.

Is the film supposed to look like it only takes up half of the available screen?

I lost interest in it after 10 minutes. Really boring plot and bad actors..

Honestly yeah. Saw it in theatres. Somehow the US has the most powerful military tech, with the enemy having advanced AI but also living in barely better than mud huts. Effects wise it's good, but the plot just doesn't stick together in any meaningful way and the acting reminds me of a bad TV drama

Yeah they didn't built up the characters at all, and I didn't care about any of them...

They could have done so much more with this idea of Ai and robots in the future, but it seemed really shallow.

It’s one of my most hated films this year! Total trash.

I asked my Sambo to watch it, she was also confused and turned it off... Nothing made sense. :)

It is in a super wide format, so perhaps you are not used to seeing that because it isn't all that common these days with a lot of big spectacle films moving back to taller formats

I just watched a bit on popcorn time and I see what you're talking about, but wouldn't it be more meaningful to ask if the broadcast looked similar? It just seemed kind of "antique" in a way to me, as though it was putting you into a different time or a different dimension.

If so it could be intentional.
