Presenting an interesting premise and a slew of emotional trailers, the end result of this film was sadly mixed. On one hand, the animation was spectacular, providing detail and brilliant moments that can only be experienced on the biggest screen possible. On the other hand, the story was all over the place, moving at a high velocity and never allowing the characters to have moments of emotional payoff. Although there are characters that are entertaining and have genuinely good character moments, others feel as though they were tacked on in order to provide useless comedic relief who ultimately have no impact on the protagonist or the overall story. One of the biggest flaws of the film comes in the form of the villain, whose twist makes no logical sense and provides further confusion to an otherwise over-bloated plot. In the end, the idea of the film was brilliantly original that had the ability to create and visually imagine a cohesive space epic, but sadly falters in being a generic, convoluted and rushed story with no emotional payoff.
