Years from now, Megalopolis might be seen as Francis Ford Coppola’s greatest work, a first step into a new level of film-making. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But not right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s full of stiff, arch acting that was clearly a directorial choice, not a lack of acting skill. Some of it is beautiful; some of it looks like a SciFi Channel series. The story just. keeps. GOING. Two and a quarter hours that felt like three. A magic mystery material with a name that sounds like a Godzilla villain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"MEGALODON-
Seriously, every time they talked about megalodon I was waiting for this guy to show up.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

But my biggest regret about the movie (other than Shia LaBeouf playing a guy named “Clodio”) was that I didn’t go to an “ultimate” screening. For that version of the movie, there’s a part where a live actor interacts with characters onscreen. Some people are going to have to explain why their resumes list “talking to a thirty foot tall Adam Driver head.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

…and why was Aubrey Plaza’s ass more visible in this than when it was the title character of “My Old Ass?” Movies are weird.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
