Francis Ford Coppola’s latest film is a retrofuturistic parable about creating a better world through architecture, science, and dreams.
For all of its good intentions, Megalopolis is a confusing, bloated disaster.
The film wants viewers to imagine an idealistic future but its vision for that future is so vague as to be meaningless.
The acting is stilted and erratic, as if the performers are as confused about what’s going on as the audience is.
The dialogue veers between painfully obvious allegories and painfully juvenile jokes.
Much of it is also just plain dumb.
There are some intriguing moments, but mostly, it's the kind of movie that makes an audience laugh unintentionally.
