While it does allow you to observe the effort put into the set design, it also cheapens the overall feel of the film. Everything seems so brightly and clearly lit that it’s unnatural. The lighting feels like it’s a television show rather than a film. It feels like they blew the budget on the film, and had to cut back in post-production. Then you have explosions that look like they came from a 90s video game, which are really jarring when it’s supposed to be a tense action scene. Some of the effects are well done, such as the slow motion close ups in the opening. It ends up being a mess of things flying at each other, leaving the audience wondering what they need to be afraid of or what needs to be achieved. He wants you to see the action, but he also wants you to see the effort that has gone into the special effects. It’s not clear what’s happening because the director doesn’t know what to focus on.

However, when they’re mixed with the action scenes, the execution leaves much to be desired. The fantasy elements are actually pretty innovative.
