It appears that a 12 year old wrote a movie and gave it to his dad to sex up and spend $58 million on. The filmmaking and visual effects were extraordinary, but the script was absolutely atrocious, save 6-7 one-liners. Between the lazy dialogue and the poorly dubbed metal guy who was-- wait for it-- Eastern European, it's amazing that anyone could read through this film even once, let alone green light it to be made. Seriously though, did our aforementioned 12 year old let his 8 year old sister write the chrome-plated Russian guy's lines? And did he hand it off to his 70 year old grandfather to write lava girl's lines? The dialogue was so bad that I actually wrote a review for this movie 4 years after it was made, in spite of the fact that it has an 8.0 here in IMDB. It gives The Room a run for its money. The special effects and cinematography were really good though, so this gets a rock solid 3.
TL;DR: Laudable filmmaking, Razzie-worthy writing

Boring as shizznit

The documentary was cute and artsy but continues on for so long without much direction. Were it to delve more into some specifics of personal life in much less time, it may be more interesting, but the amount of time where absolutely nothing consequential is going on in the movie is mind numbing.
