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.

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!

Lol it is a unique tactic to say the least, tho I wouldn’t say most critics didn’t like this. 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.

Half is not "most" though.

It certainly made me curious, weirdly enough. Curious as in, I wanna see what this mess is all about.

Wait... these are all real people and publications tho? I smell a lawsuit, if true.

Not sure this is sci fi in the classic meaning of the word.

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.

God, it is like Apocalypse Now, where the further  down river the  Boat went, the wierder things got.

Let's hope it does not end with "The Horror...The Horror".

Wtf were they thinking? They honestly thought critics wouldn't notice made up quotes?
