First of all, I personally don't have enough appreciation for this movie. The theme might be good, the director tries so hard for a storyline, but it's not a good enough one. The actors and actresses should be appreciated for their hard work, but their efforts surely didn't pay off in a long, tedious musical (if you can call this monotone a golden age style musical?).
I don't understand nowadays why directors cannot do a good movie within 2 hours, or even 1.5 hours. The movie drags and drags, flat without any unexpected twist. I am sorry to say this, but I feel like sitting in the college classroom again, listen to an old privileged white man teach me a lesson about environmentalism, humanity and apocalypse. I am trying really hard to not get bored or annoyed but fail miserably, yet I stayed there for the end because I paid tuition, just like I paid for this movie ticket.
So. If I could ever travel back to time and save me 2.5 hours and 35 dollars, I would. Just a personal opinion, but I bet you can save yours too.
