There comes a time in every filmmaker's life where hubris eclipses genius and talent. This is that moment. Francis Ford Coppola's magnum opus of shite is a sprawling epic futuristic mythological fable which already sounds like a mouthful just to describe it. The plot has something to do with an alternate version of New York called "New Rome," where an architect with the ability to stop time (which never really comes into play) has plans to build a utopian city, while clashing with the forces around him. After that, your guess is as good as mine. It's as if the Wachowskis teamed up with Chris Nolan to make a Charlie Kaufman flick, but failed on all counts. Coppola tried to swing for the fences and make his Metropolis, but somehow he made Caligula instead (minus all the fun bits). I can admire doing something bold and daring and different, but there is no excuse for a bad, boring, incompetent movie. This was a complete and utter waste of time, and my experience of life has not been enriched for it.

Bioshock prequel starring Badly Drawn Keanu.
:loldata: :loldata:
I will only refer to Adam Driver as Badly Drawn Keanu now. Or Keanu Who Was Left in the Oven Too Long.
That's a great review! 👏 *much applause
