Bugger off you sod, i can't stand it. I am re-watching it again now out of incredulousness. It just makes no sense really. If you had it as some stand alone kind of thing you can kid yourself it is off the same shelf as stuff like Geostorm.
I have just seen the scene again where Poe asks what is going on, all he wants to know is the plan of action and there is nothing stopping her doing so. I should say i think Laura Dern is a great actress but she had nothing to work with at all, it is the character and writing that is bad. It is just full of contradictions, gaps to big in the film to assume what just happened off screen and ridiculous all round. You could write a book on the mistakes made in this film from back office production stuff to the actual film, it is just terrible.
Edit: Anther that really had me "WTF'ing" was the surface cannons bit. Fucking convenient a star destroyer thing suddenly has no shields. Shields that have been well establishes in the Star Wars universe.
