Absolutely incompressible. The core plot is pretty obvious, sure, but oh my god is it long. Worldbuilding is grotesque nonsense, everyone acts so pompous while their actions don't really play any role in advancing the plot or explaining the setting. Characters are ridiculously one-dimensional. Maybe it's supposed to be watched after having read a book but what's the point of making a movie if it cannot be watched by itself? Actors are trying too hard, everything looks fairly cheap, plot moves slower than a turtle. I can't take a movie seriously when everyone talks like a philosopher while covered in dirt.
