The trailer does a LOT of work to make the film look like it has whiz-bang action.
But it's the only SF film I've seen where the manly hero storms into an Anglican church wearing nothing but a negligee, points a shotgun at the crucifix, and screams "Come on out or the kid gets it" and the audience goes "Yes, this is a perfectly reasonable action in this circumstance."
The stories in #apocalypseMoi have more whiz-bang action than this one. But practically everything does. There's a previously unpublished #ProhibitionOrcs tale in there, plus geeky murder, time travel, and the worst way to make chicken mole.
