Yea it's definitely a unique vibe to watch a high-budget action film that basically doesn't really want to exist and is chucking a fit about it.
For my money, as a fan of the original (being old enough to see it in the cinemas and experience as essentially my generation's star wars IMO) ... I actually enjoyed watching it once I realised it wasn't really a proper film but some sort of riff on a feeling.
Additionally, I actually appreciated the core in-universe premise of the film, which I think gets forgotten or overshadowed by everything else about the film.
