Megalopolis (Francis Ford Coppola, 2024) • Page 9

It also took me a while to realize Shia’s right hand man with the forehead tattoo was the tuba player from the parade earlier

 

So many subplots are brought up and then dropped minutes later. Every actor is acting in a different movie and I am convinced they are all giving exactly what was asked of them. It's not often I see a movie that goes against every single thing I thought I understood about "movies" so that is something but I'm not going to be on "this is a masterpiece" island.

I could see many walking out of this thinking it's the worst movie they have ever seen. It truly is that crazy. But idk I wasn't bored, I was just baffled. There were multiple sequences where I thought I was going insane.

2 stars? Seems impossible to rate. It's bad but i'm not mad and i'll probably never forget it.

 

I wasn't bored either. I was just waiting for it to assimilate into something, and gradually picked up that that something was going to be the emptiest of utopian, art—soul drivel. By the end I was just laughing at it, sat in an otherwise empty cinema screen, realising I'd forgotten loads of odd strands because they'd never led anywhere anyway.

An odd hallucinatory experience in spells and in other spells, flat and hollow. And yet I'm glad I saw it, for some reason. Very, very strange.

 

Man, I thought this was wicked honestly. So much fun and a lot of interesting ideas conceptually and visually. I'm very glad he got to make this, you can feel his passion and love for cinema and humanity in general.

Adam Driver always delivers.

 

there were five other people in the theater with me when this started. four of them walked out, and the only other person who stayed until the end ranted to me and two employees about how much he hated it after it finished lol

fascinating experience. found it equal parts touching and bewildering. a call to action. a plea for change and a better world. cluttered. overflowing with incomprehensible ideas. hideous and beautiful. love and time are all we have. wow platinum!

 

I'm genuinely not sure how I feel about this, even a few hours removed from the theater. Such a bizarre and unique experience to say the least, and as people have said it's never not entertaining but some of it is just bafflingly strange and maybe too strange? Feels like something I need to watch again, which is in itself probably a good sign off the bat?

 

The more I think about this the more I like it. It reminds me of Hayao Miyazaki's The Boy and the Heron as an aging filmmakers plea to the future generations to dream and try to make a more beautiful world than the one that was left to them.

 

Just remembered the line, ‘If it's a girl we'll name her Sunny Hope.’

 

Enjoyed watching this for the most part. Certainly interesting. Loved Adam and Aubrey.

 

Wow platinum

 

Didn’t love this but respect the hell out of it, my wife thinks it’s the worst movie she’s ever seen

 

Man this movie sounds absolutely wild, I really wish Covid was a lot lower because I feel an extreme need to go see this lol

 

The theater will probably be empty so it will probably be safe.

 

Maybe 7 people in my showing yesterday

 

gonna go tuesday night

 

Had maybe 20 people at my showing on Thursday. I kind of want to see it again in theaters.

 

I’m gonna have to see this again aren’t I

 

My imax Friday night was actually pretty crowded but I imagine that was the ONE showtime that sold well.

 

Trying to see this this week
