Reviews:

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

  • Adele Wang
    Not my cup of tea. The storyline was predictable and the characters lacked depth.

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

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

    Boring and uninspired. I struggled to stay awake, and the characters were forgettable.
