Timeae4UApril 14, 2025Visually stunning and meticulously crafted, but the pacing is a major setback—key plot points are crammed into the last twenty minutes, while the beginning drags on and nearly puts you to sleep. I’m giving it an extra star solely for Rihanna’s performance; the director definitely gave her the spotlight she deserved.

tinaShayApril 14, 2025The first half was absolutely thrilling—felt like our generation finally got its own space opera! But then, as soon as Rihanna’s scene rolls in, the plot goes off the rails. The second half falls apart in terms of pacing, crammed with unnecessary subplots. It felt like they burnt through the budget with all the visual spectacles at the beginning, so the ending felt rushed. The chemistry between the leads gets so awkward it’s almost painful to watch.

The especial effects and props used in this movie are simply awesome. That is why it won the position of the most expensive independent film in Europe.

Pineapple_saJune 16, 2025Visualmente deslumbrante e meticulosamente elaborado, mas o ritmo é um grande contratempo — os principais pontos da trama são amontoados nos últimos vinte minutos, enquanto o início se arrasta e quase faz você dormir. Estou dando uma estrela extra apenas pela atuação de Rihanna; o diretor definitivamente deu a ela o destaque que merecia.

Mago do FilmeJune 16, 2025A primeira metade foi absolutamente emocionante — parecia que nossa geração finalmente tinha sua própria ópera espacial! Mas, assim que a cena de Rihanna aparece, a trama sai dos trilhos. A segunda metade é um fracasso em termos de ritmo, repleta de subtramas desnecessárias. Parecia que o orçamento havia sido esgotado com todos os espetáculos visuais do início, de modo que o final foi apressado. A química entre os protagonistas fica tão estranha que é quase doloroso assistir.

Uboatsag96May 8, 2025Visualmente impresionante y meticulosamente diseñada, pero el ritmo es su gran defecto—los puntos clave se condensan en los últimos veinte minutos, mientras que el inicio se arrastra hasta casi dormirte. Le doy una estrella extra únicamente por la actuación de Rihanna; el director definitivamente le dio el protagonismo que merecía.

waiverMay 8, 2025La primera mitad fue absolutamente emocionante—¡por fin sentí que nuestra generación tenía su propia ópera espacial! Pero en cuanto aparece la escena de Rihanna, la trama se va por la borda. La segunda mitad se desmorona: el ritmo se pierde y se llena de subtramas innecesarias. Parece que se gastaron todo el presupuesto en los efectos del principio, y el final se sintió apresurado. La química entre los protagonistas se vuelve tan incómoda que da vergüenza ajena.

Los efectos especiales y props utilizados en esta película son sencillamente impresionantes. No por nada se ganó el puesto de la película independiente más cara de Europa.
