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

  • Sariyah Taylor
    Way too long and dragged out. It had potential, but it lost me halfway through.
    Rating: 2

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

  • Mackenzie Madden
    Too much focus on special effects and not enough on the story. It felt like a missed opportunity.
    Rating: 2.5

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