This film adaptation of the classic fairytale is rather pretty and in that respect aesthetically pleasing. Story wise I have seen worse recently and this is a bit on par with the shallow written trend of films i've seen lately. I swear, it feels as if everyone has forgotten how to tell a story. It feels as if they threw in a skeleton framework and said screw it by not fleshing it out. Hey, they got the title that they wanted and I guess that was good enough for them.Someone needs to get a clue and realize that producing a film of this quality isn't going to help in promoting their cause. If you really want to watch. it.. wait until you can see it for free.

I really enjoyed this movie and will watch it again to see if I can pick up somethings I may have missed the first time I saw it. This is another film that requires that you pay close attention to the story. It has layers that one by one are added to provide continuity and must be considered for the ending to even make sense. It does take someone with some sense of logical reasoning and empathy to see how one's personal view on what is casual, correlated or irrelevant contributes to misunderstanding their perceived situation. I really enjoy movies that allow me to think and attempt to figure out what is going on... it's called suspense. So, if you have more than one brain cell and can pay attention... this offers plenty to think about. If you're one to complain about things like "Well, why didn't they just come out and say so!" these movies are not for you. However, if you enjoy figuring and piecing a story out, this offers more than just scares... it's a story filled with revelation and redemption that few of us will ever actually experience.

I'm so glad I didn't read any reviews on this film before I saw it or even saw a trailer for it. It wasn't until I walked by the poster on the way into the theater that I was like "That dude doesn't even look anything like Han Solo... then again if you saw his son... I mean really? There's something wrong in that gene pool. Just sayin', ya know?" However, kudos for getting his idiosyncrasies down. Not bad, not bad at all.

I personally thought it had a decent story and had a decent timeline that allowed it to keep a decent sense of continuity throughout the film. Except for that 3-year gap, though necessary for Qi'ra's character development, it seemed a bit long for anyone to wait before even attempting to do what they intended to do. That gap is where all the questions really start to originate from.Then you get the dead come back... I have no clue from where? Then the someone you keep getting warned about, finally makes things interesting. I have no idea why anyone could not enjoy this movie and I'm hoping there will be another, since I really want to know where they are going with this.
