Reviews:

  • Emmett Frederick
    An absolute snooze fest. The pacing was terrible, and it felt like nothing ever happened.
    Rating: 1.5

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

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

  • Emir McLean
    The plot was full of holes, and the acting felt forced. I had higher expectations.

    A solid, enjoyable film. The performances were good, though it didn't really break new ground.
