An Into the Void Reel Review of Megalopolis, a Francis Ford Coppola film that he financed himself.

Just saw this in IMAX. There was some interesting eye candy but honestly I found myself wanting it to be over more than an hour before it was! I always sit for the credits. I didn't for this one. I just wanted to leave. I just couldn't follow it it. It seemed like disconnected, irrelevant ideas that don't go anywhere. The ending was too sterile and neatly wrapped up too quickly! I didn't know what I had just seen. I didn't know how we got from A to B. This confusion seems to be a common reaction and it would seem to be an odd goal for a film maker like Coppola! Since seeing it I've been educating myself about what it is and how it came about. I do have a feeling that this is going to be one of those movies that most of us didn't get at first (understandably so!) but becomes a classic in years to come once we have some context. It's almost as if it wasn't made for a general audience but for a select few movie insiders. It's like it's not meant to be generally understood in it's time! Though I left the theater frustrated and confused, I'm glad I saw it in IMAX. As frustrating as this film was, it had some great IMAX moments! Plus I'm a fan of Coppola's work generally. Maybe I'll visit this film one more time when it comes to Home Theater.

All the points you make mirror my own. I can see maybe this becoming a cult classic in the years to come but only time will tell if this comes true. I am glad as well that I saw it in IMAX so it wasn’t a total letdown but it’s never good when you want the movie to end.
