Visually it’s just kind of falling flat, between the low-contrast, desaturated color palate, the kind of low-energy, stiff animation, and the “not the worst, but still unnecessary and bad” CGI. The musical score is just sort of subdued and bland and doesn’t really accompany or elevate the scenes well most of the time. The writing is… not great so far and the pacing feels bad, with relatively little happening and lots of over-long bad-CGI scene transitions to pad time. The characters feel sort of lifeless and just sort of there, which could have been tied into the idea of people being deadened by hapna except it’s very clearly not going for that at all in any way and that would have also needed contrast and hints of resolution to land.

From the buzz leading up to it I was really just expecting better.

Edit: I just want to add, I’m complaining a bit about the music and lack of style and I want to highlight that both the intro and outro are phenomenal in both of those respects. It’s like every ounce of style and energy they had for the whole project got poured entirely into those.
