There were some nice moments in there, like the president's speech, but this one fell flat overall. There was no reason to care about the characters. We don't know anything about Alex and John other than they love each other. The second half could have had more of an impact if there had been more foreshadowing and stronger theme enforcement, but it's just kind of there as it stands. The words don't have much weight behind them as there wasn't anything in the story supporting those themes. The resolution feels flat because there's no conflict. It's great that you managed to complete a project, but there is some work that needs to be done.
