I went in not expecting too much, and really enjoyed this. Sure, it's not ground-breaking stuff, but it's not supposed to be. Not every film has to be. What it is is a really well-made sci fi action popcorn flick, and a great way to spend a couple of hours.
The world-building really stood out. The city itself, plus the housing and work spaces we see, all looked amazing. The CGI overall was excellent. If you really nitpick a few seconds here and there might look a bit like a computer game (the outdoor snow planet scenery was a bit guilty of this). Otherwise I thought it all felt and looked great. The action scenes were also good, I thought they did a decent job emphasising the 'ruthlessness' of AI. And the script in general was perfectly fine. There was one silly reference to another galaxy when any random planet name would have worked better and made more sense. The dialogue between her and Smith made for nice comedic relief.
Despite all the criticism I've read here, I thought Jennifer Lopez was pretty good. We already know she's a good actress (Out of Sight, Hustlers) so I don't really get what the outrage is about.
