I don't know what sect of people seem to be in this crusade against the producers of PGL, but the final product only solidified for me how accurate the notes were for much needed story, emotional beats and cohesion.
Act I: a young girl has powers, so does her mom. We're not told the significance of these powers or how the powers themselves or the people that have them interplay with the world at large. Moreover, we really don't know that any world exists outside of maybe 8 people. The girl then maybe kills someone with her powers, maybe not, I don't know - this is yet another point the movie never elucidates.
Act II: The girl is taken by another person with power who runs a hospital for people with power or something. He might be installed, he might have created it in his own, I don't know -- this is yet another point the movie never elucidates. Then mom finds the girl through...not trusting her?
Act III: Girl apparently suddenly has control over powers for no discernible reason, I don't know - this is yet another point the movie never elucidates. Then....the end
The characters were wooden despite pretty decent acting. The character arc makes no sense, but it doesn't matter because we never care about the characters to begin with. Love or hate PGL, you gotta admit this is another awful attempt at filmmaking. I think the AD and cam ops for the feature have egg on their face for being mean to the cam crew of PGL... as Greenlight was the only interesting thing to come out of this highly forgettable mess.
