3/5

On the surface, Worldbreaker is a mediocre creature feature, but just beneath that surface is a vibrant metaphor, waiting for adults to pick it up and point it out.

5/10

Worldbreaker feels like half of a movie, or an extended short film that serves more as a teaser for this universe and its characters without much depth.

The action is relegated largely to bookend sequences, perhaps due to budget constraints, turning the film into a coming-of-age empowerment story that struggles to forge new territory or generate consistent suspense.

3.5/5

Director Brad Anderson is less interested in overstating the creature feature tropes of his premise and more at ease with the family dynamic.

Ridiculous. Most of the movie we are on an island with the two characters. Once it starts to be exciting it’s over. Ridiculous

Good sci fi fantasy film. Irish film. Cool monsters but they aren’t shown that much. More drama than action.

Just a ok movie. I kept waiting for it to pull through till the end. Willa was hard to watch in the end. Her acting was fine but honestly the director had her acting like a 10 year old with no exposure to survivalism. It was so disappointing. This was almost a great movie. Almost.

Well, if you discount that the world's super powers with all their tanks , drones, jets and megaton bombs were unable to defeat flesh and blood jurassic age monsters then you can maybe enjoy this as a human interest movie.

I don't get the critics, Yes there isn't much action. So what. Doesn't make it bad. Acting is good story, is good, ending is exciting.

This is really a father/daughter bonding movie that will have you tear up more than once. The future in their world is almost broken, but not quite. Just watch it.
