I feel kind of bad for this movie because I think it could have been great. At times it feels like it was once a 3 hour movie that was quickly cut down to two hours. Most of the religious allegory has been dropped for fear of controversy's sake, and I think if it had embraced it a little more the movie would have made more sense. It has a very open-ended ending, which makes sense because it's part of a trilogy, but perhaps some changes should have been made if the studio hadn't committed yet to filming the entire trilogy. The special effects are great, but the whole time I felt like I wanted something more from Compass.
