    This was what turned me away from it, too. I loved the first one as a kid. I enjoyed most of the sequel(?) as an old person.

    There’s a shit-ton more they could do in that universe, a place that seems to offer escapism from reality but comes burdened with its own conflicts that parallel ours — conflicts that are solved, largely, if I’m remembering right, through self-sacrifice in defiance of money-grubbing capitalists and power-hungry rogue-program autocrats.

    There’s a lot of hope in the two movies; I didn’t get that feeling from the trailers for this one and will probably be skipping it.
