Reviews:

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

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

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

  • Luna Wall
    A visual spectacle with an epic storyline. The special effects were mind-blowing.
    Rating: 4.5

  • Mathew Figueroa
    Way too long and dragged out. It had potential, but it lost me halfway through.
