Another huge disappointment.
This movie is very slow moving. Why, on top of this, would they then add long slow motion sequences? Jesus Christ!
The dialog is infantile, and people pause for a long time between their exchanges. I suspect this is to ensure the audience has sufficient time to ponder the profound nature of the drivel.
I'm fine with weird world-building or society-building, as long as there's some thought behind it, and rules by which things operate. This was incredibly shallow, with no credibility to it at all.
There's also lots of voice-over. I can accept that, if well-done. But there are places where characters have a slow conversation, and then as they sit there in silence, there's voice-over repeating everything they just said to each other.
Still if there's compelling characters, I can forgive a lot. Too bad all these characters are despicable and utterly uninteresting.
This reminds me of great literary writers attempting to do science fiction. They invariably fall flat on their face -- because they don't get it.
I'm way overdue for a decent movie. Maybe Netflix will finally send me Shaolin Grandma (very long wait) or maybe Karaoke Terror. Or Horrors of Spider Island. Because I deserve the very best.
Not this crap.
