I'm just interested in the visuals.The story of the first was poor and dumb. Hope this time improves. But have little hope about it.
First of all; who owns the rights of AI? Let's say you use an AI engine to write a screenplay. Then you sell it and turns into a successful movie. Then the company of the AI engine sends you a notice because suddenly they changed policy and you have to pay the rights...If you use Midjourney for example, they own all rights. So I'll never use it. Unless intellectual rights are not clearly regulated, abstain to use AI
We'll see what the Audience says. They pay to watch movies, renew streaming subscription or watch a classic from the list. Did you know that?
"chief among them is how influential they, how many times they’ve been copied or referenced." I have to see this film by Chantal Ackerman, it may be good but can't be up to the classics precisely because that. People is not dumb. Kathryn Bigelow is well known by herself. Leni Riefensthal was a pioneer and groundbreaking filmmaker that still influences cinematography, commercials, music videos and fashion photography. The opening of Olympiad is a music video, or fashion commercial, still modern. However she was member of the Nazi party.
The movie excels visually with the first part and close ups; the "human" side.The last hour with the battle looks like an unreal engine 5 game with generated humans as a cheap shoot em up stuff.It turned so boring I ended up looking at my phone (with lowest bright)...I wish I had a fast forward remote!
