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

    A fun, light-hearted movie that's perfect for a weekend watch. Not too deep, but enjoyable.
    Rating: 3.5

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