This was not written to be a move for the ages. Fifty years from now, I will bet nobody will be going to an arthouse cinema to see this movie.
With that said, it's a fun, escapist movie not meant to be taken seriously. It's full of tropes we've seen in movies past...a revolutionary new thing that goes horribly wrong, multi-level power struggles, some eye candy, a budding love story between two people who shouldn't fell in love, etc. Oh, by the way, there are North Koreans involved and actions which would probably start wars with both Russia and North Korea.)
Follow that up with an ego-centric lead pilot willing to break rules when he sees fit unintentionally teaching the Deus Ex Machina the same while demanding obedience.
