The CinePearl Take
Steven S. DeKnight’s direction leans heavily on kinetic set‑pieces, which can feel relentless but rarely lets the pacing sag. Nick E. Tarabay delivers a surprisingly grounded turn as a veteran pilot, anchoring the chaos with a gritty, human edge. The film’s core theme—unity across cultures to face an existential threat—shines through the CGI overload, offering a modest emotional payoff amid the mayhem.
