Moonfall 2022
You are hereby and from now on prohibited calling "Armageddon" cringe, over the top and terrible.
Also, you cannot make a movie like this and not have something to the likes of Aerosmith's "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing" blast through the sound system. And no, Toto in the beginning does not count.

It gets exhausting quite quickly as it tries its hardest to serve all of those stylistics.

What a piece of crap. Even Project Itoh's critically acclaimed novel wasn't perfect, but at least it delivered a semirealistic futuristic world with all its pros and cons of surveillance, nanomechanical warfare, etc. But this adaption is a failure in every aspect - whether or not you look at the trouble it went through during its production.
Genocidal Organ fails to deliver a coherent storyline (and makes all the wrong choices through the way). It fails to replicate the detailed…
