It is a bad, stupid movie full of armageddon tropes. Not a single original idea in the whole thing.

I just got done watching it. It starts out okay, and then just goes off the rails. I wonder how much was left on The cutting room floor.
The crazy thing is I would have never even thought it was a Ridley Scott movie had his name not been plastered over the credits. Maybe he just showed up occasionally and some random second unit directors did the grunt work? It was weird, but it didn't have any of his signature movie making style, and even though he's made some pretty bad films recently, you can still tell they're one of his films
It's like he was trying to do a versy of Danny Boyles Doomsday, except it was trying to be more serious and not realizing what it was. Not that doomsday is an amazing movie but it was Boyles homage to classic apocalyptic movies like escape from New York and the road warrior. It at least knew what it was and played the hand well even if it wasn't dealt decent cards. I can say that movie was at least fun, and this was definitely more of a slog.
I think I might have to go rewatch Doomsday now.

Scott has been directing from his trailer for a while now. AD's do all the work.

I saw her and kept wondering where I'd seen her. She's Andie Macdowell's kid. Almost exact same mannerisms.

Was a body double-- shes flat as a plank front and back, and her legs are twigs.
I'd like to know who's legs the double was, for research purposes. Rare to be that shapely and toned. There were only a few fitness models in the 80's at that height.
I'll see a stripper every so often in Florida that has that wow factor, but its very rare.
