1 and 2 written by Artie Shaw This is not a film for everyone
It tries something different with a single-focus camera angle and a story that takes place over hundreds (or millions) of years. But that’s part of the problem that prevents it from being great. Most scenes last 1-5 minutes before jumping to the next scene, and we get a little bit of time with each episode.
It’s a bit over the top for how much stuff happens in one space
It takes a while to move on before we get to the heart of the story. If it had focused a little more on our main cast of characters, the ending could have had a much bigger impact. The CGI was a bit too much, and the focus on getting the characters into the camera for the scenes felt a little forced.
