GoG 2 later was good. This instalment wasn't. I was so looking forward in 2014 to this movie. I remember watching the movie trailers in fascination. A space team with a talking badger. All the CGI did turn out great. No disappointment there. Apart from the talking badger, the crew seemed a bit bland. I didn't care for them. And I blame that movie. Because I did like the green-skinned lady, when she played Lt. Uhura in the new Star Trek movies. And I also like her under the makeup in GoG 2. The crew meet in space prison. Yawn. That plot vehicle is so old that my brain squeaks. It's 80s style. 80s music. At this point, I can't tell: Do Americans or Chinese like American 80s music ? Again, as a European, the music sounds extremely bland to me. David Bowie ? Depeche Mode ? UK ? Isn't that an obvious 80s choice ? Would that feel like robbing the UK ? Go to space prison for that ? This whole movie felt like nothing to me. People who recommended this movie to me were the ones I later avoided. The next instalment GoG 2 is fantastic, though.
