Many reviews are "magical" or whimsical. They're thinking of the 2010 film Secrete World of Arrietty. This is, sadly, Arete, a boring slogfest which never once piqued my interest.
I'm not saying I dozed off during this movie ... but I kinda did. This movie made me long for the magical whimsy of a Ghibli movie instead of 90 minutes of nothing happening at all.
Art: The art style for the backgrounds was actually fairly rich for a gray and brown world with no interesting elements in it I feel bad that these animators were put on such a dull project. But the character animations were brutally simplified.
Characters: 1-demensiinal and dull. Nothing to see here.
I won't spoil the story but there wasn't enough for me to remember or care so ...
Basically, there are a few good elements but those are drowned in the cacophony of "blah". Pass on this movie.
