The director went crooked and didn't know where it was

Well, this film is labeled "Comedy, Drama, Romance", but I see nothing comedic about it, and the romantic part is just nauseating.
First, I can't imagine how melodramatic a lot of parts are. Like when Allison and Brian talked about Helena Project, when Woody came back home and did that silent conversation with Brian. Just over-sentimental and obnoxious!
Second, I just can't understand Allison. Yes, there is a launch, and it will destroy your so-called "blue sky", but come on, how do you know that is a weapon?! It's just a speculation! It is ridiculous that Brian actually destroyed the spaceship for Allison! Yes, it was lucky that there is actually weapon, but the whole thing is just unreasonable! As a contractor, you have to abide your contract! And are those wrecks in the space better than satellites? And how can you blow up a spaceship with nuclear weapon?! The whole thing is just incomprehensible.
Third, this movie is just a hodgepodge of all trendy films, and it's like a Chinese big data film, where the director is told what is a hot film topic, and he just pours everything in. Yes, and proved the public's interest on space and sci-fi, and tells how much the public loves those exotic islands. But you can't just put all those things together! The use of tags of "Hawaii" ans "space" is just oversimplification, and they are no more than tags. The director, who is also the writer, definitely has a bad taste.
Someone on IMDb suspects that this is film sponsored by US Army or government, and I totally agree. What the heck are they talking about? To publicize that they are anti-war now? But sorry, the idea that America is the best country in the world, and letting Hawaiian people recognize their status in the Federal, cannot be more republican! The director has to realize that something just don't come together!

    The blue eyes of Sister Stone and Bradley Cooper are really easy to sink in. It was a pleasant surprise to see Rachel, but it was still familiar and comfortable. Not a very choppy movie, although I feel like the rocket-destroying plot was designed to make waves. But I think after reading it, it is still the comfort of Hawaiian style. When I saw the comments that the father and daughter silently recognized each other at the end of the movie, I also thought it was the climax of the movie, and my eyes were wet.

    The translated version I read is terrible. In fact, this star-studded movie is still quite good, and it is not so easy to lift weights lightly. Of course, it's a bit unfortunate to give 4 stars. I think the biggest problem is that the scene where the relationship between the male and female protagonists changes is a little too light.
