Reviews:

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

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

  • Elora Bell
    An overhyped movie that failed to deliver. I didn’t connect with the characters or the plot.
    Rating: 2

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

  • Yusuf Castro
    A fun, light-hearted movie that's perfect for a weekend watch. Not too deep, but enjoyable.
