The planet has become a victim of weather. You read that correctly, the ecosystem is the antagonist here. Not the bloating population of ignorant inhabitants, but rather good ole mother nature. A story drowning in conservative ideology, harmful alternative facts bubble to the surface.
Not only is humanity immune from their responsibility in the deteriorating climate, but they are depicted as saviors of the world they trashed. This is a rescue mission fueled by dormant guilt. No one speaks of the true causes for perplexing reasons, and an infuriating cycle of deflection tears up capital hill.
When the "fix" for a blistering weather system begins to turn into a doomsday weapon, casualties on Earth are impersonal and only service a terribly conceived twist that is equally laughable and obvious. Nothing is taken seriously for such serious stakes, rendering the entire plot unbelievable and contrived.
The porous story-line has characters being swallowed whole into oblivion, and others materialize from thin air. The tired "brothers at odds" subplot offers pitiful attempts at resolution, and forced romances detract from possibly suspenseful moments.
When you dodge the blame, then you are begging for it to come back to bite you. Correctly identifying the enemy needs to be the first step in problem solving. When an entire species is handed a pardon, hell will fester quietly and then all of a sudden erupt with judgmental fury.
final words:
HELL IS MAN CREATED
