Archetypes gone rogue. Dialogues from a philosophy undergrad’s diary. It’s a narrative Möbius strip; endlessly confusing. What dimension did this plot come from? Flashbacks? I can barely follow the present! A kaleidoscope of tropes and clichés. So many bullets, so little logic. Ah, explosions as character development! Why are they whispering? They just blew up a building! Where's this guy finding all these helicopters? They punched logic right in the face! So we're ignoring physics now? So we're friends with aliens now? So we're just ending it there?
