This is an adaptation of Ramakien. To wit, it follows it's basic plot with accomodations for its sci-fi setting. However, the pacing and characterisation suffer considerably, making this rather shallow if you're not familiar with the epic, not helped by how some characters are reduced to archetypes.
The strength off this movie is its animation, which is a painted CGI style alongside animesque character designs. The sci-fi setting itself loans a lot from Thay cultural motifs and Hindu mythology, so if you're in for a fictional world based off Southeast Asian cultures you're in for a treat.
Overall, a decent but flawed effort.
