Practical stunt work and on-location filmmaking receive especially strong praise for giving the cartoon mayhem tangible weight.
Pros: humor, entertainment value
Cons: pacing, visual style
The practical craftsmanship stands out in the handmade sets and physical effects, which one reviewer specifically praises for their tactile, visibly constructed quality.

One favorable review specifically welcomes the use of practical effects instead of leaning entirely on CGI.
Pros: chemistry between characters, lead performance
Cons: entertainment value, runtime
Detailed prosthetics and tangible alien makeup give the grungy universe a distinctive texture.
