What doomed Will Smith's 'Gemini Man' commercially also harmed it artistically
I went and caught a cheap matinee showing of Ang Lee’son Monday afternoon, intentionally seeking out a 2-D, 24-frames-per-second presentation in a comparatively old-school theater. Simply put, I wanted to see how the film played in the most conventionally old-school format possible, which is how most theatrical moviegoers will probably see the film. I’m not going to say that it was a visual disaster without the higher-frame rate, because that’s not true.
That would be fine, admirable even, if it didn’t cost $138 million. To most folks watching the movie in a conventional theater , the film is comparatively lacking in glossy bells and whistles and big-budget spectacle. Yes, the whole “young Will Smith” gimmick is interesting, but the expensive special effects don’t change the narrative in any specific way.
