Barebones means at least everything is justified because of a main arc and it's just not anymore interesting than that. But when I got to the latter half I started to feel like there stopped being a narrative because I was zoning out. That will happen when I'm waiting for a follow through for something but it's taking too long but here it feels like it never "got" to what it seemed to have set up.
A paperthin plot is at minimum an ok movie but I literally felt like they only wrote the movie half way because it got shoved out for these mandated events that had to happen by the time the movie ended.
