Yeah this was a rough one, really dissapointed. Some cool scenes and ideas but incredibly disjointed and clunky. Awkward dialogue and some really rough acting took me out of it a lot of the time, on top of the messy story. Third act was genuinely bad. Visually impressive and I dig Edwards overall style and vibe but its really apparent why they had to reshoot much of Rogue One if this is anything to go by. Glad I went and saw it to judge for myself.

SCheeseman posted:I'm reminded of Ad Astra, a similarly ambitious movie where the auteur director rattled off a list of influential movies while marketing the movie. Blade Runner? Akira? Wow what depths you have plumbed, I bet you're a big fan of cult director Stanley Kubrick too. Edwards has a lot of background in low budget VFX that look good for their cost, its sort of what he cut his teeth on. He made a name for himself very early in his career by doing all of the VFX for a BBC documentary he directed about Hannibal, entirely in his home studio using early After Effects and I believe Cinema 4D. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBeHljB6uFU He then shot, directed and did the VFX for his debut indie, Monsters. Super scrappy low budget production, skeleton crew just driving around South America shooting tons of improv scenes on one of the first cinema grade digital cameras. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z52OHXfLbSU He's very very good at knowing how to design, shoot for and produce good VFX for a fraction of the cost so when he gets a serious budget he knows how to work wonders with it. Huge strength of his but he definitely needs to work on his storytelling. AccountSupervisor fucked around with this message at 08:48 on Oct 9, 2023 |

I know movies do this sometimes and I always dislike it but the part where Watanabes character is watching the news and they show a shot of JDW climbing outside of NOMAD that we had seen in the movie as a normal shot mere minutes ago was so hilariously stupid.
