TL;DR: Not worth the two hours, just go to Wallhaven.
While this is visually a very interesting movie, being at over two hours long in the end it just feels like each long scenic flight over a vista is just a rehash of all the previous ones that the viewer has already seen. It gave the feeling that someone had collected a lot of concept art from Wallhaven and really wanted to cram all of it into the movie.
The story is very firmly in the 'Meh' (or worse) category. Dialog is incoherent, character motivations are all over the place, behaviour is floaty and feels non-consequential. And the main story arch revolves around a "father-figure-protecting-a-child" trope, which can work (see the recent 'Last of Us' or 'Children of Men' as an example) but here it completely falls flat. I was so divorced from the characters that some of the final scenes between the two protagonists, that were obviously meant to stir emotion in the audience, completely missed their mark.
