I had high hopes from this movie. Known as the great escape, Peter Pan was an inspiration to many during my childhood. "Peter Pan and Wendy" is a classic tale that has been loved by many, but unfortunately, I found it to be quite disappointing. The story is filled with inconsistent and nonsensical plotlines that leave the viewer feeling confused and frustrated. The characters especially wendy is shallow and lack any real depth or development, making it difficult to become invested in their journey.

Furthermore, the writing style is 2023ish ( non inspirational and women are automatically good without flaws) and often difficult to follow, making it hard to fully engage with the story. The portrayal of women in the book is also problematic, with Wendy being relegated to a stereotypical 2023 feminist role.

Overall, I would not recommend "Peter Pan and Wendy" to anyone looking for a well-written and engaging story. While it may have been a popular children's book in the past, it has not aged well and fails to hold up to contemporary standards.

The movie was a visual treat for all the sci fi lovers who do care about visuals more than anything. There are 2 alternate story lines that merge at one point in the movie. The movie came out as extremely new, refreshing and with breath taking details of what an alternate world could look like. The level of detail in CGI and the mix of reality with the concept of sci fi has been brilliant presented. Having said that ...

Clearly, the movie falls shy of good acting. The movie feels slow and bland to an otherwise thrilling concept mainly because the script! It does not seem to be written keeping actors in mind, rather it feels like someone imagined such a world without actors and had to force actors into the story line to build the world itself. Hence the dialogues don't feel that intense, the scenes with monsters seem rather shallow and don't turn you to the edge of the seat, there is not much of an emotional connection between the actors. Deaths of side actors don't really seem to matter and not really heart breaking. The 2 protagonists are rather poorly defined / their background could have been explored further.

However I clearly see a lot of potential here. The movie explores a lot of dimensions and the concept behind COMA's environment seems rather deep. I would suggest everyone to go watch it. I would say 5 for acting, 9.5 for Visuals and 9.5 for Concept, 7 for execution. I highly recommend this movie since what it looses to weak characters, gains for the execution of story lines, visuals and innovative direction Coma took.
