Reviews:

  • Cecilia Strong
    A decent watch, though the pacing felt a bit slow in the middle. The cinematography was great, though.
    Rating: 3.5

  • Noa Ford
    Too much focus on special effects and not enough on the story. It felt like a missed opportunity.

    An absolute snooze fest. The pacing was terrible, and it felt like nothing ever happened.

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