I agree with **Darren** ’s summary. The film’s strength is its visuals, which are great - big, sweeping space stations and ships and battles and explosions and harpoons and robots and so on. Everything else - meh. Not only did it take too long to get anywhere but everything about it was haphazard and incoherent. The bad guy was “generic evil corporate type #3” (and did we find out what his weird condition was? I may have zoned out at that point), there were a raft of secondary characters who barely registered (apart from the French guy but including the entire rebel group) and the ending was literally _deus ex machina_. And the bit after the ending was…embarrassingly emotionally manipulative and soppy, as if Hallmark had decided to venture into sci-fi. I came away thinking that the creators really wanted to make a mashup of _Cowboy Bebop_ and _The Fifth Element_ and instead they made…this. > [@Darren\_Garrison](#): > > Some of the English was so deeply accented that it had forced subs–and I needed them. I had the subs on the whole time. Weirdly, some of the phrases that were neither in English nor Korean were labelled with the wrong language for some reason. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/space-sweepers-on-netfix/932479)._
