‘The Green Manifesto’ is unfortunately cringeworthy and substandard. The narrative is strong, loosely inspired by the COVID-19 pandemic, but production has resulted in a low-grade finish. Production design and the musical soundtrack give the sense of a satirical sketch – rather than a sci-fi dramatization. Acting delivery is equally weak, with most of the cast delivering immoderate performances. Fans of the Star Trek franchise may find a soft spot for the film, but general viewers will lose engagement fairly quickly. Glen L. Wolfe’s script deserved a better vision.
