About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a romantic, visually imaginative sci-fi take on forbidden love in a world where gravity works differently; Not for you if you need strict, consistent science rules or crave deeper character development, or if you prefer films like Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets.

Pros: visually stunning worlds; original gravity concept; romantic fantasy charm | Cons: confusing/inconsistent rules; uneven character development; story disappoints some viewers
