The only timepiece you’ll be staring at through this endurance test is the one on your wrist.

Observer (UK)

The performances – child, adult and pangolin alike – are painfully poor. And the stop-start pacing of the picture is a slog.

Rated: 2/5

Guardian

Like its title, this film is mostly bland and semi-forgettable – with scenes more than a little familiar from the fantasy back catalogue, adding no real flavour of its own.

Rated: 2/5

Relatively enjoyable, albeit instantly forgettable.

Eye for Film

Although there is some mild peril here, this is a film that is built on thinking outside the box, the importance of friendship and drawing on your inner strength, even when you think that’s tough.

Rated: 3/5

Brilliant fantasy for the whole family that proves once again why Matt Drummond is one of Australia's most promising filmmakers.

This movie is unbearable. The acting is no good and the effects look like their from shark boy and lava girl. I can't follow the story either. Didn't even finish the movie it was so bad.

If AI wrote and produced a fantasy, this would be it. Such juxtaposing elements and creepy AI characters. I literally felt nauseated.

I've seen some good children's films in my time but this wasn't one of them. After a slow start I was hoping it would pick up when the children entered the fantasy world but I was disappointed. Both the acting and dialogue were dire, and it got to the stage where I couldn't bear watching anymore, and walked out 15 minutes before the end.
