This movie was definitely not for me. In tone it's quite similar to "Pushing Daisies" or "A Series of Unfortunate Events", meaning it asks the viewer to actively suspend their disbelief. But even when done so, it delivers a cold, alien romance that fails to move my heart (which is usually easily moved). It's hard to connect with any of the characters, except for Zelda. But she's just a sidekick that's never really developed fully.

Visually the movie is stunning. And perhaps my expectations of it being a thought provoking sci-fi ruined it for me. Instead I got of a fantasy fairy-tale for adults. Which comes of as really weird, all the sexual connotations are just as flat and cold as the romantic overtones.

Giving it a four simply for the quality of cinematography. As far as stories goes there are far better
