pretty good

Rating: 8/10 (2 January 2019)

I didn't like the first trailer so I wasn't expecting much, but it was actually a pretty good movie. It's not anything astounding that'll leave you amazed, but it'll keep you occupied and interested. The visuals are amazing for the most part, but when they try to combine CGI with real-life scenes the difference can be pretty jarring. The acting is great, though I don't think the movie spends much time actually looking at or developing its characters--it focuses on the story, and kind of throws simple character archetypes into it, but the story itself is great enough to cover that. The soundtrack is often amazing but there's this one tune that they kept playing whenever something Significant happened and I started getting sick of it. There was a total of 4 times that characters were chilling when they were suddenly surprised by a fiery explosion. All in all it won't be the greatest movie you've ever seen but I'd definitely recommend it if you have time.
