Megalopolis Is Worse Than You Think | Rant Explained 

You said you hated it. Like a minute in. So...yeah i just clicked off..

Just stick to brainless marvel universe films and you will be fine. 😂

Chase, you summarizing the plot of Megalopolis with the phrase "I think", perfectly describes my thought process of when I was watching it and after it ended when I was thinking about it. Appreciate it for sure because a lot of ideas on the table when I could comprehend them are interesting and compelling, too bad it's all thrown together in a half-baked narrative where despite how huge the scale of everything is seems to not really be consequential and is just plain emotionally unengaging because the characters were so flat. I still can't get over that Francis Ford Coppola (director of how many iconic classics) wrote a narrative where his protagonist essentially does nothing but succeeds in what he was doing anyway, making the times where there is "conflict" feel even more pointless. Even with all that though, I do think people should check it out at least once. We're probably not going to get anything like Megalopolis again at least for the time being. I'm sure another filmmaker similar to Coppola's legacy in the next decade could attempt a project this ambitious with the only hope that it'll have better results.

Ive heard this called "Coppolla remakes Jupiter Ascending" or something like that and by "ive heard" I mean, I totally just made that up because it looks like another terrible version of that terrible movie haha. Cheers.

gotta get some friends, some drinks, and stream this when it comes out.

Great to see you back in camera Chase! Love your reviews, down to Earth. Your passion for film shows through 🙌

You missed the best part. In the last 15 minutes, Aubrey Plaza exits the screen and gives everyone in the cinema a lap dance, so I think that explains the 5/5s.

On a personal note, hope you get enough rest Chase. Panic attacks are scary but as long as there is not a lot of stress in your life and if it ever happens again you know what to do, you'll be ok.

Honestly, with the way Modern Cinema has been, I'm not shocked. A lot of directors I once respected have fallen from grace. This is genuinely how I felt about Ridley Scott after the Alien Prequels.

Truth! I honestly don’t believe ANYONES liked this. If this was made by anyone else, everyone would be trashing it. Coppola is getting a pass, but his career shouldn’t make him bulletproof.

Okay I can understand Quantamania, but would you watch Dr. Strange and The Multiverse of Madness over this though?

Worse than the last Jedi?

thats not how you pronounce cannes.

That's rough dude, i was also hoping for this movie to be great but you have proven me otherwise. Maybe you should watch Transformers One to get all that sress out. I recently watched it and it was great, an actual Transformers movie with story and characters. Thank you for convincing me to just wait out Megalopolis on streaming haha

Seems like a whole lot of yapping and not a whole lot of analysis. This video could’ve been shorter
