Wasted Opportunity

Rating: 3/10 (15 June 2020)

This movie had some really good elements, but sadly it wasted them with mostly awful characters, a horrible beginning and predictable storylines. So many things went wrong here in my opinion; Tristan is a horrible person (it would have been better if his quest was motivated by the want to save or free his mother), I don't buy the romance, the storylines are boring and predictable, and there are a lot of stupid moments.
I liked certain elements as stated, like the cloud roaming pirates in serach of lightning (unfortunately they ruined it by poking fun at the captain and making light of sex slavery). I liked some of the magical elements, like the magical chain, the dice etc. But there were so many times where stupidity completely took over. The ending was horrible and predictable, and I mean the fact that Tristan invited his ex crush to his coronation just once again displays his poor character.
The relationship between the star and Una was also completely out of the blue and could have been better established if Tristan's kidnapping was in order to save his mother. That would also make it easier to buy her forgiving him and ultimately "falling" for him.
Would not recommend this movie, they could have done so much better. If you're looking for something to watch, then go watch The OA instead.
