harry713 Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 I can’t help but be very intrigued by this. I just love going into a completely original sci-fi not knowing what to expect. I can tell this isn’t easy to market but I think Lionsgate (and/or FFC) did a good job with that trailer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krissykins Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 It looks like an ugly headache. But I’m laughing at the tactic, it’s unhinged. ”most critics who’ve seen this already, didn’t like it. But one or two critics didn’t like his previous hits, so the Megalopolis reviews must be wrong” Mess! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s pretty evenly split between raves and scathes, with only a small handful in the middle of so-so. I couldn’t tell you upon release how his films last century were reviewed, tho this makes it seem they also had an uphill battle. Would love to know more about that.

Curious as in, I wanna see what this mess is all about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that Coppola is one of my favorite filmakers of all time, I am interested is what he has come up with. Even if it is a failure, it will be an interesting one.
