I watched about half before I had to turn it off. The technical aspects are wonky. Like, you have two people in frame but one is entirely out of focus while they talk? Why? The CGI looks terrible at points. The story is convoluted and razor thin. The info dumps are annoying although I kind of get it, it's world building, but still. There are better ways to do it. The characters are one dimensional.

Admittedly I still have a bit left in the movie, but goddamn did it have a terrible first half. Honestly we ought to get our money back for this.

All in all it's just a 'we want to be star wars without paying for the IP' thing, or 'Dune was pretty cool, let me try'.

Edit: watched the rest. It's the most paint by numbers shit I've ever seen. Aggressively dull and offensively bad in every regard. Even the acting at times is laughable.
