My Movie Review: The movie is easy undemanding romp with nice attractions despite bomb reviews like a getaway trip filmed in different beautiful locations its flawed but fun action thriller! Gemini Man is better than critics said took me by surprise when it started unlike what I imagine so fresh with amazing shots made me feel relax and just go to the flow to bad the story goes less deeper than it must gone felt rushed with minimal pay-off and reveal makes it rotten faster! I guess I agree more with a review on Forbes Gemini Man’ Is Bad, But You Should Still See It Anyway it's a bad story that makes no sense and fails all over the place. It’s inconsistent, it doesn’t earn its emotional beats, it presents a shallow examination of its themes, and it feels like a movie made from a synopsis of an idea rather than a fully formed and finished story:( However it also contains charming cast with terrific chemistry together who have fun moments together with enjoyable banter. It also features some top-notch action sequences pushing the envelop with new technologies you need to see to appreciate- like a fast motor chasing scene:)
Metacritic Reviews: An original property, with a veteran marquee idol, in the hands of an accomplished auteur whose name isn’t Nolan, utilizing technological breakthroughs, Gemini Man isn’t just a novelty, it’s a miracle. It’s a Big Bang–a confluence of the right elements and conditions perfectly situated to create something that can flourish, but may never happen again. Lee is innovating and looking backwards at the same time, and the viewing experience is as bewildering as that sounds. The digital novelty is striking for the first 10 minutes, silly for the next 10 minutes, and by the end of the movie you’re pining for the analogue values of script and direction. Young will Smith's face is not too convincing. At the end he looks very CGI. A gimmick instead of a real believable story-line. Being a father myself, makes the story almost completely unbelievable. To be fair, pulling off complex action sequences in such unforgiving high definition is a ballsy move it’s much harder to hide the joins between what was captured in camera and what was added later. Will Smith is spectacular and Lee did all great directing job:)
