    This was never dull, with the kind of deft script and biting energy that's often missing from big budget sci-fi. It loses some steam at the end, and the main villains could've turned down the ham a tad. Pattinson is a marvel, as is Naomi Ackie, as is the indigenous species of the ice planet who are as delightful as Bong Joon Ho.

    Anyone else feel like the character Kai (Anamaria Vartolomei) was underwritten? Perhaps the book gave her more depth.

    Still, what a good time.

    ★★½

    Sure the commitment to & execution of the old-timey cartoon premise deserves some applause, but I was unable to engage with it how it wanted me to. The gags wore thin too soon, and the story of a goofball winning over a trader's daughter never won me over. It's attached to the past to a fault and at an unsustainable length. So... about 45 mins in I gave up and increased playback to 4x speed. This works quite well for a movie emulating a silent B&W cartoon.

    A harrowing diary of resilience against an ongoing evil. I'm angry that sharing these images and stories are not enough to end the occupation.

    I can watch animals just be for hours. Nature docs were my go-to as a kid. But who needs that pesky narration? Let it be. Let it Flow. Conflict arises and friendship solves it.
