Its hard to really like any of the characters except perhaps the spunky minor role of Billy.
The heroine is heroic, but not terribly lovable. Annoyingly pretentious and petulant. The kind of child that most in the audience probably thinks needs to learn a good bit more about life than she does to become a better person.
The advance of the plot almost seems to by a paint by numbers approach.
The best part of the movie is that it is visually stunning.
Everything else just doesn't really draw an audience, at least an adult audience, in. You're just sitting there going "OK, and..." and then the movie is over with teasers for the next one to come. And, frankly, the character to be saved in the next film has hardly made you care enough about him to invest in a whole plot to save him.
You come, you go. You certainly don't want to invest in seeing the pre-designed sequel.
