Despite my admiration for its cinematography, sound design, and my fondness for the story itself—having read it several times times—I don't recall experiencing this sense of stagnation during my initial viewings.

I found it boring on the first watch, but I think I wasn't in the right mood and I know I didn't know it was just the first part, so I was expecting the entire story to wrap up and was disappointed when it didn't.
Watched it again a couple weeks ago and liked it way more. Plus I read Cole's notes or something like that summarizing the book, so I understood more about the universe going in, which I think you kind of need to really get what the movie is doing. Going in cold on my first watch was a mistake.
