really good camera work and great sound design. i really like a lot of the flowing shots and the cool stills
the acting and the story was just kind of bleh. i can see the vibe they were going for but it just came out all wrong in my opinion

Ii was quite taken initially by the dedication this film has to evoke a very specific styling and mood, but ultimately I felt like that caused it to seriously drag in its pacing. Maybe 50 years ago we'd need scenes to be this methodically slow, but by the end you can skip every other 10 seconds and you get what's going on. I thought the lead actor was good for the role, and it all looks authentic to the time period, but the CGI creatures didn't do it for me, it felt like a letdown. The practical effects aren't really used enough, and there isn't enough instances of unique, captivating set pieces, to really make this a satisfying watch.
