Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)
Pro: Cinrak wins the race (or at least ties) and uses her victory to set the stars free.
Con: It’s a little too surreal, and no actions seem to have serious consequences, so there’s no tension to it whatsoever. And we're left wondering what the point of it all was.
