When an interdimensional rupture unravels reality, an unlikely hero must channel her newfound powers to fight bewildering dangers from the multiverse, as the fate of everything hangs in the balance.

Review:

I always go for these types of crazy, imaginative, unique, out-there, weird movies. I give major props for the ambition and for showing me so many things I’ve never seen before. And the fight scenes, although scarce, are pretty awesome. Unfortunately this movie really doesn’t work for me.

The first major issue is the comedy. I laughed a few times but most of the comedy fell completely flat for me. Comedy is subjective, so others might feel different. My audience laughed more than me but not nearly as much as the movie wanted them to.

Another major issue is the weird factor. It goes way too far. Most of it is amusing but at some point it starts feeling weird for weird’s sake. This is especially true when it comes to the story. There’s not enough concrete to grasp onto. It starts feeling like a bunch of nonsense.

Lastly, the pacing and narrative don’t feel smooth at all. It was difficult to tell where I was in the movie (for example, nearing the climax). Here’s my theory on why:

Some movies will have what I call an epiphany moment. A moment where everything comes together, usually accompanied by heightened musical score and flashes to different moments. It usually happens in the climax and evokes emotion. In this movie, the epiphany moments comprise what seems like 35% of the movie. Scattered throughout the movie, not just at the end. But nothing ever comes together. It just keeps getting stranger with more questions.

In the end I had a pretty bad time with this movie. And I’m annoyed I drove 40 minutes to watch it in one of two theaters playing it in the Chicagoland area, which has 100+ theaters.
