Many ratings and reviews that I personally have seen mostly give this film praise but it begs the question as to what are these people getting out of this film and why the good reviews? Are they being paid advertising money or given gifts? Yes in some cases they are. With a below expected opening weekend box office it has still yet to draw an audience. This adventure film is a crafted beautifully and on-screen looks amazing but there are numerous problems with the film and it has yet to charm its viewers. ![]() LAIKA studios released what they hoped was to be a hit in theaters with their latest film Missing Link. ![]() You are truly admired as artists and respected.* Credit : Laika Studios / Annapurna Pictures In no way is this article a bashing or meant to downplay the amount of work it took to make this film.
