Reviews:

  • Emmett Frederick
    Great concept, poorly executed. There were too many plot holes, and the ending felt rushed.
    Rating: 2.5

  • Athena Bradley
    A visual spectacle with an epic storyline. The special effects were mind-blowing.
    Rating: 4.5

  • Axl Cuevas
    The perfect blend of action, humor, and heart. One of the best movies I've seen in years.

  • Emir McLean
    A solid, enjoyable film. The performances were good, though it didn't really break new ground.
    Rating: 3.5

  • Apollo Floyd
    Way too long and dragged out. It had potential, but it lost me halfway through.
