This movie has a HUGE hurdle in gaining acceptance from a broader spectrum of viewers, least here in the States, on account the subtitles and no English audio overdub. Unfortunate, but that alone keeps viewers away from films they'd enjoy if they took the time to give it a chance. Anyway, this is VERY far removed from typical Hollywood movies that work in the same genre and aim films at the same age groups. If "Michael Bay-standard Hollywood blow em ups" is your thing, this you'll despise. Trust me. If you despise "Michael Bay-standard Hollywood blow em ups" you'll certainly not leave this movie feeling as though your time has been wasted. Enjoy if you should choose to do so.
