All style, no substance, but reasonably entertaining.
This movie, like many of today, revolves almost entirely around CGI, and outdoing everything that came before it in that regard. Plot is basic, and quite unoriginal, borrowing a lot from previous well- known sci fi movies and series. Dialogue is clichéd and tailored to kids. So many dad jokes...
Performances are so-so, probably due to the lame script and having a director who only knows how to direct graphic designers, rather than actors...
No, it is really about the CGI and that is done really well. Plus, the pace is good, and despite the unoriginality, the story does keep you engaged most of the time.
Certainly no Citizen Kane, but it's okay.
