The Feel-Good Part
The visuals of this movie are incredible and well presented, even though it looked haphazardly edited. The cast also did a good enough job. The story had an unstable beginning, but the second half got interesting and engaging storylines. The movie had drama and romance at its center with a fascinating fantasy storyline.
The Disappointing Factor
The movie had too many plot holes with no character development throughout. This movie does not give time to understand this new world but pushes the plot and expects the viewers to grasp the situation from the beginning. There was no detailing or polishing of the storylines or characters with just some basic rough outlined plot. The special effects and costumes were all out of place and unsuitable for this period piece. The entire movie setting is weirdly edited and felt choppy to watch because of its inconsistency.
