  • Everest Cannon
    Great concept, poorly executed. There were too many plot holes, and the ending felt rushed.

  • Estella Ayers
    Visually stunning but lacked a compelling storyline. The movie was more style than substance.
    Rating: 3

  • Richard Velez
    An overhyped movie that failed to deliver. I didn’t connect with the characters or the plot.
