Plot-holes the size of crater, regressive, assembled out of incomplete footage
To be fair, 'Milenge Milenge' delivers exactly what you expect from it. Five years in the making and ultimately assembled out of incomplete footage, this Satish Kaushik-directed romantic drama is regressive, senseless, and packed with plot-holes the size of craters.
Priya (played by Kareena Kapoor) thinks she's met the man of her dreams when she runs into the too-good-to-be-true Immy (played by Shahid Kapoor) at a college youth festival in Bangkok. Turns out the fellow's been fooling her all along. When she breaks up with him, he realizes he's fallen for her, and begs her for another chance.
Please explain to me the emboldened parts in this context.
Though I know "regressive" means "decreasingly" and "craters" means "hole" in general

"Plot-holes the size of craters" is a play on the very common collocation

User_garyassembled out of incomplete footageI think this implies the movie lacks consistency.
User_garyregressiveI think this means that instead of being good it's retrogressive.
User_garyplot-holes the size of cratersThe plot is totally irrational/senseless.

Well, it seems like we're missing "regressive." Oh, well.
I recall when Stan Kenton coined the phrase "progressive jazz." It has nothing to do with the structure of the piece. Now we have "fusion," whatever that means.
"Regressive art" is, I believe, similar to "retro," or a return to the past. I may be wrong.
In your excerpt, it's used as a pejorative.
