About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a big, high-concept mix of history, science ideas, and action in the vein of Ghajini; Not for you if you need tight realism, subtle romance, or consistently brisk pacing.
Pros: action-packed set pieces; strong lead performance; interesting sci-fi premise | Cons: uneven pacing; shaky logic; mixed effects and dialogue
