Can I have more context? I don't even know which film this is, I'm not excusing the director because obviously if it's really bad he gave this the final okay at the end of the day but we've seen how many silly editing fuckups there have been like with the final season of game of thrones being a great example and more recently the laziness in lord of the rings and the little mermaid. The consistency of CGI and editing has gone downhill with Hollywood across the board.
Ugh, you're bitching about the editing when there are cringey millennial self-inserts? That's the thing that turns me off though I've been absolutely seething about seeing overused jump cuts in anything I watch these days.
I don't think he's complaining about editing here. The boxes are stacked because they were unloaded from a ship. So why wouldn't they have the robot already out to move those into the pile? Of course the ship they unloaded from could have used separate unboxed robots that left with the ship.
And in the movie the robots are combot robots that stopped fighting after the emperor and his family were killed. So the robots are basically useless, so the ship just left it behind because they didn't want the junk on-board. So there is a story reason why the robot is crated.
I don't think it's that big of deal. I hate jump cuts in fight scenes, if you can't properly choreograph a fight don't film it.
He wrote a scene, where someone picks up a box, and hands it to a robot.
This movie, costed 166 Million. He may be the producer, but ultimately, Netflix footed the bill and paid him for this. If you have a Netflix account, this came out of your wallet, and it's below Bollywood quality.
I didn't mention the editing. At all. It's a robot. Why is it in a box? Why are there three people there. Why does it get out of a box, among boxes? Who placed those boxes there? Why does steam come out of the box? Who, why is someone allowing him to make these movies? And more importantly; How did his adopted daughter die? Who allowed him to adopted a Chinese national?
I lump that in with editing and storyboarding lol. To answer your question, modern films these days seem to be a bunch of poorly mismatched separately done takes and the editor tries to piece them together. It's meant to be the director's job to make sure everything makes sense but it really does seem like everyone in Hollywood can't be arsed anymore and then they wonder why no one is going to cinemas.
