At its best moments, it’s absolutely hilarious, and the cast deliver some really great comedic performances. However, the film completely shifts course halfway through and becomes a Studio Ghibli knockoff without the heart. The third act climax is just Nausicaa and you cannot tell me otherwise. If the film had stayed on track with some of the really interesting ideas it presents in the first act, it could’ve been great. Sadly it just became increasingly referential and decreasingly thoughtful. Overall it feels incredibly hollow, which is a real shame.

Time here is not an ever-marching straight arrow forward, but is bent and warped in order to create a better past, present, and future. Reconciling with personal histories, communal grief and overcoming that grief in the present, in order to create and mould a future for humanity.
There are some clunky moments and some of the dialogue is...…
