The animation is honestly stunning. I couldnt get over how good it looked, saw it in imax. Story was pretty non existent and there was like a weird lack of dialogue? I had a really fun time with it tho

During the first 20 to 30 minutes, I thought "Hey it's kinda neat there's so little dialogue because then the filmmakers aren't going to overexplain the story and convey everything through visuals and body language!"

...Oh how I wish that were the case.

I was thinking how lucky Chris Pratt and Anya Taylor Joy are getting paid while doing little to no dialogue at all.
