Sorry,
what the heck is going on? The story is just a mash-up of different phantasy movie tropes. What does this has to do with SF anymore? No, sorry, SF is gone. We get some magic, we get some fairy talles, we get some religious stories, which might work on their own, I mean it worked quite well in the last century for other shows but ONLY IF DONE RIGHT. And this thing does NOT feel right. This is mostly drama and feelings, sometimes without explaining the background and sometimes just overdosed, shoved down your throat.
And it does not even make sense. The obvious technical challenges which act as a plot device in the beginning are suddenly washed away and are never mentioned again. This is just an offense of viewer's intelligence and is the last episode of "Foundation" for me. The first of season 2 was creepy nonsense - but this one is FUBAR. Enough is enough.
Nice CGI, though. At least that is done right nowadays..

People in the reviews keep comparing this to U. S. Army activities. But it is not as easy as that.
From some other POV, I see more similarities to things like the involvement of the Soviets in the Asian countries like Afghanistan back in the 1980ies. The more I watched this episode, the more I saw it. Just look at it, there is a government who wants to gain some political influence in an extreme and independent part of the world, by helping another puppet (or weak) government which wants an external power to be their ally. And they have burned lots of young lives there in Afghanistan, for no good reason after all.

This movie wants to be a little bit more of what it actually is. And nevertheless, one can enjoy it.
First, the cast is not too bad. IMHO, Kate Beckingsale looks more attractive than others wanna-be stars like Emma Watson, while being almost twice her age. She portrays this dark femininity very well in this movie. In the Total Recall remake a few years ago it did not work out very well, but here she an really excell.
Second, the story is slightly stupid. But not that kind of stupid where it starts offending your intelligence, more of the "STFU and don't think too much" stupid. "Just enjoy the show" thing.
And in the end, there is the C story in the background which is hardly explained. I hope we can get a sequel here to get over with it, although the current ratting probably says otherwise.
