Viewing Notes

I finally caught up to this as it was streaming on Amazon. I seem to be having issues with streaming, but only from Amazon lately. The quality really dropped out at times on this.

Slow moving but I loved the practical effects and that most of it was shot on a sound stage. It definitely gave it a very ethereal, otherworldly quality that they couldn’t have replicated by shooting on location. Reminded me a bit of Scott’s LEGEND in that sense.
