Now the heroes have six days to save the Earth from getting lost to the evil realm of the beyond. It is a mystical and breathtakingly violent quest full of extravagant feats and magical transformations. There is a subtext beyond the cosmology: it’s about the sons and daughters fighting their demon fathers (”the Elder Gods”!), mothers and siblings. Technically awesome but too fast, slick and violent for its own good.
