Watched it when it originally streamed, but didn't expect much (wrong actor for Batman). Fell asleep multiple times - movie was just too slow, horrible pacing. Decided to give it another go with a pre-movie nap. It was much better now that I saw the whole thing, but still too slow. Too often was left thinking - it's over, what? Another 75 minutes?

If I think about it as a variation on an origin story, then the length is needed to show some character growth, introducing the main DC antagonists, etc, while writing Catwoman out of future stories. And at some point it needed to address the Easter egg at the beginning of the movie, hinting that Bruce Wayne is getting close to being broke.

Overall, a balanced movie, but not one I'll ever be watching again.

I started this movie late at night, so had to finish the last hour the next evening. All during the day, it kept eating at me - over and over. The actors were all great, even when playing the roles of idiot government leaders. It worked, I hated them, and seeing the clear parallel with the insane idiots playing politics in the Republican Party left me wondering there are more people taking real pot shots at them!

I never knew this was being sold as a comedy - I found nothing funny about it, at best, isolated slight humour. Being an astronomer and sci-fi fanatic myself, it sure made me amazed how foolish the BASH escape ship made them out to be. Has no one ever read anything about first contact? Stay in orbit until all threats can be assessed? Hello! Weapons and general self-defence? That said, there is no way that ark would have survived that long - fail safe tech that lasts tens of thousands of years just doesn't exist, and is not going to be invented in 6 months with no testing. A fitting ending for the morons - they can only hope that they poisoned the local wildlife or introduced new diseases into the biosphere, right?

And as mentioned elsewhere, amateur comet hunters would have found the comet themselves and plotted its course, because it's what they do, and orbital calculations (as long as it bypasses all planets) are pretty straightforward these days.

A decent episode, the teen angst worked well enough, but for me the highlight was how Guinan and Riker sold their flirting showcase to Wesley. Just a short clip, but it was really starting to sizzle!

Thinking back knowing what will happen to Wesley, does anyone ever wonder if he stopped by on his journeys to visit Salia?
