One of the many corporate turkeys designed to kill cinema for good:
- It's an episode. Like a mere TV series. It's totally worthless as long as the rest hasn't been released, yet you won't be able to see it all at once in a theater. You must watch the intro years before the conclusion, then try to keep some memory of it and a modicum of involvement.
- Plodding. Of course it's plodding. It's Villeneuve, the slowest-minded director in Hollywood. However, in order to beat his own record, the man decided to tell half the story in slow motion. Good grief !
- It's colourless. Say what you want about the 80s version, at least it was never dull. This one is constantly dull. A complete waste of perfectly good pictures.
- It's lifeless. The cast for the most part has no personality. The central kid has the screen presence of a toothpick. Worse yet, many follow the dreadful acting school of whispers. Imagine Highlanders living inside a public library.
- Lastly, the music score has been replaced by some screechy garbage, Nolan-style. It's awful. Hans Zimmer-level of bad. The worst composer of the century. The one who single-handedly proved that the majority of humans have hearing problems.
