    A decent watch, though the pacing felt a bit slow in the middle. The cinematography was great, though.

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

  • Kelvin Wiley
    Visually stunning but lacked a compelling storyline. The movie was more style than substance.
