This movie is a condensed copy of the German Netflix series "Dark", set in the US - but worse in every aspect.
Everything from the SciFi elements, the sombre atmosphere to the color palette are straight rip-offs from the aforementioned show.
It's disappointing to see how low we've come in terms of ability to create original stories.
In terms of performance, I doubt they could have found worse actors. The guy playing Paris is alright but everybody else just phones it in with either bland or too over the top deliveries.
I'm glad I did not pay to see this movie in the cinema as this is best categorized as a TV movie.

I was a big fan of Rogue One's grittiness and more mature tone and I'm happy to say Andor has both and it makes me happy that we finally have a Star Wars show for actual people, not the Disney ideal customer profile.
The acting is great, the characters are built up properly and actually have depth. Kino Loy wirh 2 episodes is a more compelling character than any of the Disney trilogy characters. The cinematography is amazing, the CGI is on point - have you seen the Eye scene? Amazing! Oh, and Andor is proof you can have diversity without the mind numbing politics. It all just felt so natural and not forced.
Kudos to everyone involved in this show! Thank you for making something for the fans.

I'll keep this review short and sweet.
Pattinson is my favorite Batman. While the Nolan Trilogy is amazing, I often felt like Batman was overshadowed by other characters. But this not the case here. The supporting cast is impeccable, yet this Batman shines because he has the gravitas of Bale and the physicality of Affleck, yet Pattinson doesn't over it and keeps it simple bringing a darker tone to his performance.
The cinematography is stunning. So many great shots. Colors and composition are just amazing. You can see the effort that was put into it. The score as well. Dark, somber, familiar yet refreshing.
To me, this is the closest live action adaptation I got that resembles the animated series which to me is the definitive representation of Batman.
