My guess: you get a series of really astounding effects work, with a tissue-thin plot to function as an excuse for parading them before you that’s slightly more coherent than “this is my effects reel”.
Which seems pretty much what this article confirms this film is.
- tartoran 5y agoI noticed that and once the effects lose their novelty factor the movie ages quite poorly. I also noticed older movies which aged pretty well and guess what.. the cast is quite varied with input from different artists. A good director knows how to leverage that and ‘marinate’ it into a good film.
- mycall 5y agoHow would you rate the stop-frame Alice movie from the 80s? Did it age well?
- gmadsen 5y agoThat isn't necessarily a negative
- egypturnash 5y agoOh definitely, I mean I enjoyed "The Wizard Of Speed And Time" a lot when I finally saw it even though its plot was basically "an excuse for Mike Jittlov to do a bunch of effects shots".
