I’d give it a solid A- or B+. I didn’t connect with any of the characters as much as in the previous trilogy, but I found the movie very engaging from start to finish. I look forward to seeing where this new set of movies goes.
What did others think?
Sorry for the late response. Hopefully this’ll spark some engagement.
I thought the first half of the movie was pretty strong and solid. However, at the end of the movie I feel like we didn’t understand Proximus’ true motivations - like he was a typical bad guy that you couldn’t sympathise with in any way. That made it kind of boring for me. Wish we could have seen more of him and Noa and explore their dynamic. Here’s to hoping for a Director’s Cut!
Fair points. I had similar thoughts. In my opinion the first film of the previous trilogy also had some underdeveloped characters and storylines but served as the seed for the excellence to follow in the next two films. I’m hoping this trilogy follows a similar trajectory.
