3/10
Nice concept, poor execution

I really wanted this to be a good movie. I really did. It's got a nice premise with an interesting world, but it just felt so... BLAND. I struggled to connect with the main character, Evie. All the characters felt so cookie cutter, so two-dimensional. There was very little emotion, at least that the audience could connect with. You could tell that the characters were having emotions, but unless they told you outright (which they frequently did) it was difficult to tell what they were feeling. And characters frequently changed emotions in rapid succession with no indication of how they got from one emotion to the next. When Evie meets the Queen, she goes from angry to suddenly hugging the Queen with no change in expression. And Eremon switches sides without any indication of an emotional or internal struggle, just an explanation. The characters all had to explain their motives to the audience! And even then it wasn't all that convincing. I was seriously disappointed in this, especially considering that it had so much potential.
