Appleseed Alpha (2014)

The film has shooting, hand-to-hand combat, trash talk, and a woman wearing a suggestive outfit, but so does every other film. In 1994, you had to watch a Jet Li film for this kind of stuff, but now that's all there is. Viewers demand a story and a semblance of logic. This film offers none of those. The film's main premise is Olson's mission: Dismantling a dangerous, autonomous doomsday weapon. He is not carrying any dismantling equipment, though. Instead, he has come with Iris, the activation key to that doomsday weapon! Seriously, who gave him Iris? If I were to dismantle a doomsday, Dr. Strangelove-type nuke, I'd want a disarming kit, not a remote detonator! It goes without saying that the film is about bad guys trying to steal Iris from Olson and activate the doomsday weapon. In addition to this glaring plot hole, the film's armored soldiers, mechs, and guns seem to have been ripped off from the 2001 video game Halo. Iris and Hitomi's movements remind me of Marlene from FF7 Advent Children.
