I was very excited to see this film. The story was very interesting, but for me, the contemporary story of Alithea and the Djinn was rather dull. Most of the contemporary story was of Alithea and Djinn in bathrobes sitting in a hotel room. If the contemporary story would have been as interesting and compelling as the past stories of the Djinn, I would have liked it more. And perhaps if there had been more dialogue between the characters in the past stories of the Djinn it would have been better? The stories from the past felt rushed. And the film itself felt rushed and a bit disjointed. And why was it that it was always women that found the bottle and were granted three wishes? The special effects were good. The acting was good. Cinematography was great. Costuming etc, all good. Again, had the contemporary story been more interesting,especially, for me, it would have been a much better.
