Reviews:

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

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

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

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

  • Justice Webb
    Visually stunning but lacked a compelling storyline. The movie was more style than substance.
