I was really looking forward to see this adaptation of one of my favorite book series and it just completely fell through. As the viewer we do not get a change to connect with any of the characters because of the quick walktrough of the story and at the end we do not feel any different for any of the characters. All the scenes are passing by with no break. You do not get to engage in the plot because of the runtime of 1 h 30 min. And as a big fan of the 6 books I was even confused about what was going on. They went trough the plot of the 6 books in 1,30min and they were missing a lot of the storyline that makes you fall in love with this fantastic univers. In the end it felt like you were watching a completely different film.
As for some positive comments the visual was very surprising in a good way, and it was awesome the way the film crew executed it. The way they brought Kimæra to life, it was fantastic to watch, she looked like what I imagined when I read the books. Also all the locations in nature were beautifully used and it made the film more "authentic".
I really did not like that Oscar Clara's best friend was also the cat and her protector. It was not necessary at all. The only reason they wanted it to be that way was because they wanted the viewers to know that Clara had a friend. Oscar does play a more vital role in the books. So that was on of the more specific plot dispamointments in the film.
