I went and saw this, expecting a Cirque-du-Soleil-esque experience, an interesting plot and amazing performances. This came off as a mash-up of performances, I found myself mostly bored. It is slow, uninteresting, and repetitive and un-amazing. Honestly, if it hadn't been for the plot synopsis given by the behind-the-scenes interview shown before the movie, I would've thought it was a 90 minute advertisement. It had good ideas to work with, I will admit, but it left me wondering if I was missing pieces to a puzzle and searching the internet for a more in-depth synopsis.
It's not a good advertisement, anyway. I wouldn't want to see more after seeing this. I loved cirque du soleil's Alegria and was expecting to be blown away like I was with that. I am going to watch the other film adaptations of other shows rather than this.
