To steal from/paraphrase another review I've read: All the best and all the worst qualities of Lucas' film-making are clearly on display in this movie.
Now my own words: The visuals and the disorienting cinematography as well as the sound design are top-notch. The storytelling or rather the way it is executed, is a bit too esoteric for its own good. The dystopian society as displayed is a bit too on the nose for something that isn't an outright Comedy. Some of the comedic beats are intentional for sure, but the whole is played a bit too straight for the heavy-handed takes the movie offers.
I respect the craft though. And for a first movie, it was one hell of a mission statement.
