Reviews:

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

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

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

    A visual spectacle with an epic storyline. The special effects were mind-blowing.
