Concept: 3/4 (Good)
Story: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Characters: 4/4 (Great)
Dialog: 1/4 (Bad). It's so cliched, there are parts where you can actually say the lines along with the actors without having seen the movie before.
Pacing: 1/4 (Bad)
Cinematography: 3/4 (Good)
Special effects/design: 3/4 (Good)
Acting: 4/4 (Great)
Music: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Subjective Rating: 6/10 (Okay, 2/4). Interesting, but not interesting enough to compensate for the pace. I never quite got into it, probably because the writing is uneven.
Objective Rating (Average): 2.5/4 (Okay)
