Put it as a 5 as the thought is good enough, the execution and choice of movies do not work all the way though. Laso note that this is a relative low-mid budget movie (counted together). As there are several different movies the acting can't be said to be stable, one or two performances will grant the actor/actress a good future whilst most others simply will slip by unnoticed. There is potential in one or two though if given time and effort.

As a concept this isn't news, most famously known from Firefly where Serenity got spawned from (or rather selling it to southern capital as space cowboys making a progressive quite good sci-fi with the effects / best shot parts (several of those actors got a boost from it). Andrew Jaksch borrows from several overarching themes, including The fountain (2006), Enders game (2013) and as mentioned Firefly (2002-03)/Serenity (2005).

Forcing the pieces together when they do not fit well does not work, though it touches on the possibility to use a decent full length movie and use the shorter movies to spice it up which probably would work better for a star wars'esque movie on the cheap.
