Such a strange thing. Lee executes this downright generic premise and truly dreadful screenplay (this took a couple decades to write but did anyone actually ever read it? The dialogue is especially reprehensible.) with his characteristic patient attention to psychology and character, making room for moments of emotional sincerity that any other filmmaker would jettison out of hand, especially considering a lot of it comes from a fully CGI Will Smith. As far as that illusion goes, while never completely seamless, at its best it's astonishingly close even if at its worst it's downright terrible. And his action is some of the cleanest in years, not the blistering speed and economical cutting of the JOHN WICKs (to which I've already…
"he's the mirror you don't want to look into"
obviously the next logical step in the evolution of sci-fi spy thrillers about technology that could be used to save humanity but that only an overfunded military has the capability to exploit is to make it an immersive deepfake using technology so advanced no theater can actually project it correctly...make a theme park ride feel real by slowing it down instead of making it bigger and louder, make cgi look real by making the real people look a little fake, make your insane premise grounded with a soulful actor learning how to process the way his government exploited both his weakness and his perception of masculinity, make a soldier devoid of conscience by giving him a loving home, and by the way, we should probably figure out what the actual fuck is going on with fatherhood in america

**1 day before Gemini Man script is due**
Ang Lee: Looking forward to seeing that script tomorrow!
Screenwriters: Yep, no problem mate! You're gonna love it!!
(Ang Lee-aves)
Screenwriters: Oh fuck! Was that due tomorrow?!
GEMINI MAN is about coming to grips with your mortality, confronting a doppelgänger of yourself, doing wacky things with 3D frame rate, and Will Smith kicking someone in the face with a motorcycle.
Obviously, I liked it.
Full review at ScreenCrush.
I'm not sure I'm totally on Ang Lee's wavelength these days but I'll keep watching because at least he's always doing something weird
(saw in 3D HFR)
“Ghost with a gun.” Privatization of war becomes privatization of people. Reckoning with human imperfections as they echo through systems trying to stomp them out for profit. Sometimes it’s as easy as seeing yourself as a kid and kids as fully-realized people. Even if none of this works for you in the context of a generic 90s screenplay Frankenstein’d into being in 2019 look, the way I see it is, either you want to see groundbreaking digital tech and the budget of a small country used to make films you’ve already seen worse or you’re smart and you want to see it make Will Smith body slam another Will Smith into a pile of human skulls.
Mary Elizabeth Winstead didn’t star in the masterpiece Sky High (2005) just to be under-appreciated like this today
Now, this is a movie all about how
Will Smith got cloned by a man of renown.
And I'd like to take a minute, just sit with me,
I'll tell you how he became de-aged in a film by Ang Lee.
In west of some laboratory, born and raised,
In a test tube was where he spent most of his days.
Chillin' out, maxin', assassinatin' a fool,
And all shootin' some people to graduate from school,
When a couple of agents who were just a diversion
Started tellin' him he had another version.
He got in one little bike chase and he saw it all worsen.
He said, "You made a person out of another person."
Henry Brogan (Smith) begged…
Watching a movie at 60 frames per second, it turns out, feels a lot like playing a video game. Ang Lee seems to know this, so Gemini Man is rife with first-person shots of hands clutching guns or steering vehicles. While it's not the first time a film has taken cues from game aesthetics, it certainly feels like one of the more direct mimic jobs. It gives the whole thing this feeling of delirious unreality, especially where the younger Smith is concerned. The effects work is outstanding, but the increased frame rate heightens the sense that he's an animated creation. He feels, again, like a video game character, his movements a little too buttery-smooth and with not quite enough weight…
