So, I would score this movie with a 7. It was a pretty good fantasy (I would add adventure, suspense, drama, slice of life) movie and I would recommend it.
It's about the childhood memories of two kids - friends who used to live in the same building block that now is about to be demolished.
During their summer vacation, they decide to visit it one last time but suddenly, something unexpected happens and a long journey begins.
The art and visuals are a pleasure in the eye, the music, sound and v.a. are great too. The main idea of the story and the pacing were interesting. There was also enough backstory from their past, shown gradually and character developement, as well as good chemistry between the main characters.
(There might be considered some *spoilers* ahead so if you want to keep reading, it's with your responsibility. I will explain what I liked and disliked about the movie)

Reina and the mc were annoying in some cases but we can't forget that they behave childish because they are still kids so it's justyfied. While the story continues, we also see some nice moments of bravery or emotional and heart warming scenes.

But I think something was missing to make it great and for a 2hr movie, I think there was enough time to show better and explain some more things - [spoiler]like for example to analyze and involve more the rest characters who were just caught up in that weird situation and existed there for no serious resons or to say it better, they existed only to help the main characters to get out of dangerous siuations, or clear out better, about what was that fantasy place they were travelling to, what was this blue and black magical existence and why did that finally happen, what was the purpose of all this.

For us, the audience though, it was a nice journey we did along with those kids, watching them remembering their past memories, fighting and facing their fears and the hazards around them, together with Noppo the mystery figure. Who by the way, I think, he represented the nostalgic spirit of the house and all the bittersweet memories of the past, that they created together during their childhood years of living there and also, leave and seal them there so they can get along with again, move on and create new and better ones (memories) for the future ahead...[/spoiler]
