This is the fifth installment in a Russian franchise that has been chugging along since 2012. By this point, the tank is mostly empty. It’s not a 'bad' movie in terms of content—it's perfectly safe and harmless—but it is a 'bad' movie in terms of quality.
With a 4.2 on IMDb, it’s clear that even fans of the genre find it a bit of a slog. If your kid is obsessed with ice magic and you've already exhausted every Frozen short on Disney+, this might buy you 80 minutes of peace. Just don't expect to be impressed by the storytelling or the visuals.
