I really wanted to like it. It started out very promising, with an exciting, creative premise and eye-catching, attractive, detailed visuals. The concept of the type of society they live in, and the story that was unfolding intrigued me a lot.

Then lame elements started adding up. 45 minutes in, I was forgiving of them, because I was still intrigued. But they kept piling up, until I was cringing more and more.

By "lameness", I mean it feels like a kid wrote it. I like kids' movies, but this actually feels like a kid wrote the screenplay...

Cliches... Missed opportunities for including any truly clever ideas... A naive and primitive understanding of the world that I wasn't buying, even for a sci-fi fantasy movie... Plot devices that seem ad-hoc, instead of crafted into a broader context, like the screenwriter was making up the whole story up as they were typing it out...

Half way through the movie, I was getting restless, and hoping for it to end soon. I only continued watching it because I was invested at this point. I was curious to find out what would happen, but I wasn't enjoying myself anymore.

1.5 / 5 - pretty bad
