My reaction
Concept:2/4 (Indifferent)
Story:0/4 (Terrible) I'm sorry, but this one doesn't make sense.
Characters:3/4 (Good)
Dialog:2/4 (Indifferent)
Pacing:1/4 (Bad)
Cinematography:3/4 (Good)
Special effects/design:3/4 (Good)
Acting:3/4 (Good)
Music:2/4 (Indifferent)
Subjective Rating: 5/10 (Indifferent, 2/4 (Indifferent)). Nope, doesn't make any sense. And if it did, it would be too rushed and jumbled and long for it to work, anyway. It has its moments, some good character bits and excellent casting, but mostly it's a huge pile of disappointment.
Objective Rating (Average):2.1/4 (Okay)
