Creative world building, excellent character design, and good acting (particularly from Chris Pratt) but the movie still falls short.
The basic plot, two elf brothers trying to find a source of magic that will allow them to spend one day with their deceased father, is beyond excellent, but the movie appears to get lost in the quest. The result feels like a lost opportunity.
Add to that a short lesbian reference and the end result is more of disappointment.
