3.0

Flat characters, massive plot holes and contradictions. And for some reason

the only death described is that of a dog?

I believe there would've been potential for better, as the idea is really interesting, but it feels like the author focused more on building a timeline than giving the characters any depth or creating consistency.

The movie, in this case, works better and takes less time off your life!
