This film is visually stunning, the artwork and illustrations are magical, on-point, and truly transfer you to a different world. There isn't one beat that isn't matched by diverse and superbly executed artistic direction.
Since this movie doesn't really have an ending per se, and kind of drops at a cliffhanger it's honestly hard to give this one a rating over 9, because the story is not complete.
It's a fast paced film, where there isn't a lot of hang time (pun intended) for scenes to develop without being part of some time race to fit the large narrative together. There are some scenes like the one where Miles talks to his mother that can be heart-wrenching, but sometimes I felt like they made it too sentimental, because most moms don't talk like that, with large speeches and such, and I felt if the dialogue was a little more back and forth it would have felt a tad more natural.
Overall a great film, visually stunning, and I can't wait for the next one to come out.
