About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you like emotional sci-fi about personhood and love, plus a Pinocchio-style quest in a bleak future; Not for you if you want a consistent tone throughout, or prefer a tighter, faster adventure like Interstellar.
Pros: heartfelt humanity theme; striking futuristic world; strong young lead | Cons: uneven tone shifts; pacing feels long; some detours distract
