Pretty bland sci-fi with decent special effects, but wastes its supporting cast.
And holes. It's got holes.
The difference between an interstellar civilization and an interGALACTIC civilization is not small.
The writers could have picked any one of the 100 billion stars in OUR galaxy, and it would have been fine.
Instead they had to warp 2.5 million light years to the Andromeda Galaxy, demonstrating a keen ignorance of scale.
And how is it possible that an intergalactic civilization would still be struggling to figure out how to keep robots from killing everyone?
5/10 Stars. Forgettable. But at least JLO still has great yams.

One takeaway from the early MCU movies that DC failed to pick up on was the importance of humour, and sadly this show fails in that regard as well.
There was so much more they could have done with a dysfunctional family of ninjas! So many little moment that they could have played for humour, and at the outset that seemed like maybe the direction they were going to go with it.
But instead it was entirely too much mysticism coupled with dull detective work and brooding serious conversations where they don't talk about what is actually happening.
Honestly, it would have been way better as something closer to a sitcom, where they had to deal with their family issues while fighting crime in the background.
Just imagine: two ninjas soaring through the night and fighting off criminals, all while bickering about whether the younger ninja had done her homework.
The musical selection was great at least. Fun and quirky, which is why I thought the show was going to be fun and quirky too.
It was neither. Just... long.
6/10 stars. I won't be turning up for a second season.

This was a fun ride for the first little while, but they shouldn't have shoehorned in a villain-arc in the later half. It was too much story for the ludicrous premise to support.
We also really needed to see more of the kids being outrageous, and we DEFINITELY needed more of Margo Martindale's park ranger! What a waste of an incredible talent!
The film would have been a lot better if it focused on her and the kids instead of following Keri Russell's blandly forgettable nurse around, not to mention the crooks whose entire story-arc felt wholly unnecessary.
5/10 Stars. I enjoyed the opening and most of the first half, but was bored to tears by the end.
