Saw the movie, one recurring thought was “do all the people in the theatre understand the references this movie is making?”
Earendil is referenced, as is Beren and Luthien, same with Morgoth I believe.
In a lot of weird pseudo illusion scenes.
Regarding the catholic aspect one thing I did think was telling was that the movie didn’t show Tolkien insisting that Edith become catholic. Likely because that would not have gone over well with a modern audience.
As an aside as a Star Trek fan it was good to see Colm Meaney, Miles O Brien.
