Concept: 3/4 (Good)
Story: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Characters: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Dialog: 1/4 (Bad)
Pacing: 0/4 (Terrible)
Cinematography: 3/4 (Good)
Special effects/design: 3/4 (Good). What's there is mostly great, with a couple glaring exceptions. However, a number of scenes that would have been expensive to shoot are conspicuously absent.
Acting: 3/4 (Good)
Music: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Subjective Rating: 2/10 (Terrible, 0/4). Every now and then, the plot will inch forward, ever so slightly. When that happens, it's interesting, and seems to have potential. It happens very rarely, though.
Objective Rating (Average): 1.9/4 (Eh)
