After the first Code 8 was largely disappointing I was hoping for a better outcome with this one, especially since it has been 5 years.
I would think with that much time a good coherent story would be possible, especially with the foundation already set. Nope.
Here we have multiple mutant characters vs the evil police force and we can't seem to get anything going. Some little girl has powers and of course needs to be saved. Nothing new at all here. Bad mutants vs good mutants, as usual.
So many possibilities and they resort to an X-men story that's been done over and over? Even with the attempting to save a wounded mutant, self sacrifice mutant and good and bad mutants joining up.
You can watch the movie at 4x speed as the dialogue isn't needed. The writers and the director have only really done 4-6 films, 2 of them this Code 8 stuff so their lack of experience is obvious.
Absolutely paint by numbers, abc movie. 2/10 for some good robots and CGI. Nothing more. Bland second half, lame ending.
