it’s messy, frequently unintelligible, campy and unintentionally funny at times but I walked away from megalopolis glad that i saw it and glad that it exists. adam driver probably saves it, can’t imagine anyone else pulling that character off. i hate the way these all cgi soundstage movies look, i never feel immersed. jon voight was funny. the kind of movie an earnest, precocious USC film student might make if they had the budget. accelerationist, randian, most people i talked to at the theater hated it.

I’m definitely going to see it. 

I have a certain nostalgia for “Metropolis” and what it was trying to do and like this feeling that “Megalopolis” may be trying it for our age. 

I like to see people try big things.

I agree. I may be a sucker but I have an almost teleological appreciation for works like these.
