Too much world building for one movie.
Yeah. Just not sure if pinning that on the director might have been a fair assessment. There may have been pressure somewhere to cut the time down for one arbitrary reason or another.

Unless there is definitely a sequel coming, you're right: "too much world building for one movie." And even then, it should've just been a miniseries or at least a longer damned movie. Even another 30 minutes or so could have ironed out some of the wrinkles.

Doesn't make it a bad movie, though. I don't regret watching it, and if there is more coming, I'll be in that line.
