how much it moved you
Two separate readings, not parts of the score β the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.
Nobody has rated this on FlickFeel yet. This is public discussion of this title, read into a curve. It is not a rating and it never becomes one.
Read from 11 comments (9 from Metacritic, 2 from TMDB reviews) β 2 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence β the shape below rests on 2 comments. The shaded band is how wide the uncertainty actually is, and it is drawn to scale.
Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

Published reviews, not felt experience β a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.

βA well-crafted family thriller that is truly scary and doesn't wimp out.β

βNot great fantasy, but it's on more solid ground than "The Golden Compass" and will seem less baffling to some. There's enough here to keep adults engaged, which is an important component of any motion picture that wants to be known as "family entertainment."β
James Berardinelli, ReelViews Β· 75
βA fast-moving adventure with more than dynamic glitz to recommend it.β

βA mostly superb cast, superior special effects, a sparkling musical score and a fantasy-filled plot .β

βThis is a reasonably entertaining, mostly family friendly film (apart from the ocassional glance/hint at claw mark type injuries and one or two monster depictions which may scare younger kids) with some pretty decent CGI. I liked some of the plot details, like the fact that the mother eventually sees the creatures, so its not entirely a case of dismissing the kids concerns over an assumed made up entity/entities. This isn't exactly a brilliant film but its a pretty good one which will likely entβ

β**This fantasy film deserves our sympathy and attention.** This is a good film to watch with the family because it will easily appeal to young people and adults alike. However, I think it never received the attention it deserved, perhaps due to the fact that it was released at a time when the fantasy genre was dominated by a group of other much stronger and more relevant films. The film also strives to show the hidden side of knowledge as something dangerous, less than desirable, following thβ
