  Pros:
  - Immersive Experience

  Cons:
  - Characterisation Is Very Light
  - Story Suffers From A Lack Of A Protagonist Driving The Emotional Core Of The Story. The Ensemble Is Vast And The Film Presents The Event With Singular Focus. Consequently It’s All Style Over Substance.

  Verdict = IT’S GOOD
