Unfortunately lackluster.

Jason Momoa gallivanting through one's dreams sounds like a – wait for it – dream come true. Fortunately for kids everywhere, the actor's latest film, Slumberland, is a family-friendly fantasy adventure featuring Momoa as a sharp-toothed wily, horned creature. His character is the perfect sidekick for any kid who dares to venture into the dream world. While director Francis Lawrence’s Slumberland takes inspiration from the comic, it fails to capture the whimsy and delight of its origins.

While fans of Winsor McCay’s may bemoan this lackluster adaptation, kids and families may find delight in the adventure that unfolds. The film is a spectacle, although the rendering of CGI is a bit too conventional. With its core story following the themes of grief and nonconformity, the simple yet compelling tale will surely delight young children and keep adult audiences engaged for most of it.
