A Fairy Tale After All

I saw positive reviews about this and I'm even more confused than this movie left me? Bad acting, bad directing, absolutely chaotic and messy plot, too scary for children but definitely not coherent enough for adults. Also, they put on these huge unnatural contact lenses on the lead actress that made her off-putting at best, and scary at worst. Speaking of which, I know most movies cast adults to play teens, but she could not pass as a teen at all, it was actually bothersome to watch. I want to know who thought that this, any part of this, was a good idea, and who (and why?!) reviewed it positively. I rarely experience something so horrid, but I did this time, and if I save one person from going through this mind-numbing, bizarre and all around baffling experience, it'll be worth leaving this review.

I watched this on Amazon for a price - and almost immediately wished I could get my money back. This wasn't the exciting fairytale fantasy I was expecting. The story feels random, the execution doesn't make any sense, and the editing/effects feel very unprofessional. A definite "no" for me.

I should have gone with the negative reviews and passed on this one. The trailer made it look like a Labyrinth-ESC-type movie, so I was super excited to see it. However, very soon after starting the movie, I found that the negative reviews were more true than not. The film was odd and hard to follow, with a huge dash of bad acting. My children (10 & 12) kept glaring over at me because I picked it, and eventually they asked if I would turn it off. Roughly 45 minutes in I decided to just take the L and find a new movie. I wish I could get my money back.

Awfully directed! The whole movie is based on a really terrible storyline which hasn't even been properly shown to the viewers . The songs are hideously bad , the scenes have no effort of proper directing. The lighting, videography really isn't up to the level of an fantasy . The effects displayed of the parallel universe dimensions are not at all sequenced together proportionately. The drift of the different dimensions aren't portrayed and co-ordinated quite right at all . The movie looks moreover like straightaway from an horror universe with rather complex fantasy characters which are hard to understand and hard to walk with the story . The animations and Gif-like pictures , vids and funny noises makes the movie more worse .

Just don't bother!!! As a adult who grew up obsessing over the labyrinth the magic the puppets the costumes !!! I was so excited when I came across this film. Oh but how I was wrong !!!!!! I regret setting my eyes upon this film. The only saving grace is that I'm glad I didn't purchase to watch on Apple TV but instead waited n watched it on Amazon at no extra charge. This film deserves to be placed in the deepest darkest oubliette Never to be found again, the plot was messy it was hard to follow it's more of a feverish nightmare that's never ending, I'm actually typing this as it plays I'm that bothered by it, the trailer was more impressive but oversold on an epic scale.
