If I had to put this movie in one word it would be: overwhelming! Everything about this film felt very overwhelming- whether it was to the plot, characters, and any developments. I found it very overwhelming to take it all in. We would jump places to places to places in matter of 5 minutes. Sure, I enjoyed the world exploring of it all and how visually amazing it was to see each place, but it just added to the overwhelming I felt during most of the film. The plot seemed simple and easy to follow but I found it hard to follow - we were being distracted by so many things by the movie that following the plot was hard, even though it's quite simple. The characters added to the ever growing overwhelming of it all - I found each character distractible from the plot. None of the characters were memorable (besides the protagonist and the child), and I just found them to be easy distractions from the plot. I really did enjoy the visuals of it all. How epic and grand scale it was. How a simple plot was built around such a grand place the director made it to be. Look, no denying the movie looks good but it is so easily one of the most overwhelming movie I've seen in a long time. So many things got me distracted from the plot, and many of the characters just seemed like "copy and paste" type - they're there but nothing differentiate them from all the others. It's grand in scale with a simple plot but very overwhelming in my opinion to watch!
