The CGI - given the films budget is exceptional - everything else... not so much. The Plot - what there is of one, is all over the place and the Acting - especially Viktoriya Agalakova (obviously the daughter of some oligarch who helped finance the movie (because no one in their right mind would hire this girl) ) and Georgiy Bestaev is just dismal. The single non 2-Dimensional actor was Mariya Lisovaya (Anya / Valaya) who managed to outshine the leading pair by an enormous factor. To the 5 writers 'credited' for this movie: Please consider your life choices. If this is even close to the best you can produce - then you're doomed to utter failure. The dialogue is just soooo simplistic and often demeaning to both the audience and the actors. Direction: Above average - considering the film is 'mainly' CGI - and getting both the actors and crew to stay on point must have been a pita - they did an excellent job. Further on the plus side - there's a few moments of 'action/suspense', one moment of actual 'comedy' and over an hour and half of decent CGI... but that's it. As an adult, I ploughed through this movie and nearly sobbed with relief when it ended - hopefully, my sacrifice will be taken into consideration if you think about watching this rubbish... but, if you have kids (9-11) then they're going to really enjoy it !! Note: I changed both my rating as an adult from a: 3 to (as a grandparent) a: 6 simply based upon my grandkids reaction to the film. Apparently, I may not now be qualified to judge a movie aimed at the child demographic now that I'm in my 70's - who knew?!! Have a nice day.
