Hollywood is often accused of being too "pro environment" but this film took the opposite turn, telling major lies about the root causes of drought in overpopulated California, including a scene where someone claims the Delta Smelt is more plentiful (it's actually facing extinction) and they only want a small percentage of the water held back for it.
The bigger picture is that the Smelt is an indicator species for overall delta water health. not just "some fish," and California has long been a semi-desert where crops should not be grown in many places. As the human population gets bigger, things just worsen (basic math). Framing environmental protection for fish as an evil cover for developers is a mindless plot device.
The decent looking lead actress is the main thing worth watching here.
