Concept: 4/4 (Great)
Story: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Characters: 1/4 (Bad). A respectable, exceptionally rational person suddenly, without cause, becomes an irresponsible, obsessive idiot, and we are just supposed to accept that... because she is a woman.
Dialog: 1/4 (Bad). Granted, the most ridiculously bad bits of dialog are immediately called out by another character as being ridiculous. But that does not excuse them.
Pacing: 3/4 (Good)
Cinematography: 3/4 (Good)
Special effects/design: 3/4 (Good)
Acting: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Music: 3/4 (Good)
Subjective Rating: 6/10 (Okay, 2/4). It's badly written in a way that is quite off-putting. On the other hand, I was engaged and entertained throughout the movie.
Objective Rating (Average): 2.4/4 (Okay)
