Concept: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Story: 1/4 (Bad). Not a bad plot, but its execution could hardly be worse.
Characters: 1/4 (Bad)
Dialog: 1/4 (Bad). Each scene is preceded by captions which are supposed to explain what's going on, but I can't say they do their job.
Pacing: 0/4 (Terrible)
Cinematography: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Special effects/design: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Acting: 0/4 (Terrible)
Music: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Subjective Rating: 3/10 (Bad, 1/4). An absolutely awful film. The acting is bad enough to provide some heckling value, though.
Objective Rating (Average): 1.2/4 (Bad)
