Oscar-winning director Bong Joon Ho’s confused sci-fi blockbuster is a ‘serious disappointment’

Robert Pattinson will star as multiple clones in a massive budget follow-up of Korean filmmakers. And while the star himself is amusing, the entire film is confused.

There are no winners for the best photos in Oscar It’s been as exciting as Bong Joon Ho in recent years. Parasites – And it’s not just because it was the first winner that wasn’t in English. It was a cabrous takedown of rich complacent and while celebrations within Hollywood’s golden inhabitants added an extra layer of irony, it was a small number of award players truly destructive in life.

For fans of Korean filmmakers, the good news is that despite adding his commercial stock, his long-awaited follow-up is not a prank. A massive sci-fi filled with Hollywood stars and big themes, but it mainly avoids the grand self-importance typical of such efforts. The bad news, and perhaps the delay in that release, is that you really don’t know what approach you’d like to take instead. Overall, it must be viewed as a serious disappointment from the director.

At least Robert Pattinson fans will be happy to get multiple (well, almost two) versions of the actor for one price. He plays Mickey Burns, his absent man who is a dystopian close relative. There, they long for the civilian flood to leave the earth. The pig worker, who can be deployed in various dangerous experiments for the benefit of mankind, is simply “reprinted” with every death, as a new clone version of himself. All this goes well until his version number 17 defeats the ice shaft of planet Niflheim, and survives unexpectedly, finding Mickey number 18 already installed in his residence. The question is, how do two versions of the same person learn to get along, or how do you do it?

The premise of “reprinting” or human cloning certainly should have plenty of narrative possibilities. It could be a rich source of philosophical research, given what it raises about the nature of self, death, and so on. And of course it could be the basis for a decent satire. This advocates the “consumables” scheme as a logical endpoint for a society that wants to exploit people without consequences. But on the front, the film doesn’t seem to have a distinctive interest in addressing the questions it poses, but in the latter respect, the comedy is completely toothlessly broad.

Colony is run by Mark Ruffalo as a bouffant hair, cold-headed showman with veneer teeth. And it’s a groaning, obvious performance from start to finish. Just as boring, Toni Colette is his equally tyrannical wife, with a Cheshire cat-sized smile overall. The parasite glow was in how it decomposed the superficial “splendidness” of its privileged characters: But here they are clearly, and interesting and awful – worthy of bad things Features Saturday Night Live Skit – The effect is to defang the story of a real bite. It may be forgiven if the movie is at least entertaining, but again and again the lines and scenes are tense due to the manga effect, but fails to deliver the product.

As Mickey’s lover Nasha, Naomi Akki is happily sworn as Mickey’s lover Nasha, making the most of her anti-copyright speech, while Pattinson enjoys the antagonism between Mickey 17. Masu. Steve Buscemi and Surly, the more rebellious Mickey 18. But that too, the pair puts aside their hostility and joins forces on an epic action climax to meet the planet’s native gokrocher race The Creepers. Sand Dunes A sandworm with a caliber in the gap with legs. Suddenly, Bon actually goes for the traditional blockbuster he’s ever rejected – and the fit also failed. Like its hero, this is a film with a major identity crisis.

in Reporting budget of $150 millionif you can find the kind of audience this Curio needs to succeed, it would certainly be a surprise. During these risk aversive periods, it’s good to watch at least deeply singularly expensive studio films, but I hope that such stupidity will not make future money even more cautious.
