The teaser is neat.

But will need to know more.

I thought Shia LaBeouf joined the Catholic church and was super serious about it, so I figured he quit acting... but apparently not?

That's quite a cast.

I’m down w. Adam driver.
Also Laurence Fishburne and Aubrey Plaza.

Nice to see a trailer that leaves you w. more questions than answers.

What the film is about is anyone is interested:

"An accident destroys a New York City-like metropolis already in decay. Cesar Catilina, an idealist with the power to control time, aims to rebuild the city as a sustainable utopia, while his opposition, corrupt Mayor Franklyn Cicero, remains committed to a regressive status quo. Coming between the opposing men and their visions is Franklyn's socialite daughter, Julia. Tired of the attention and power she was born with, Julia searches for her life's meaning." -Robtard Coppola

^^^Hmm.

Sounds artsy fartsy. So it might not land with audiences.

But ladies seem to like Adam Driver, so maybe that will help it.

Although I don't think it helped 65 much... 😏

Artsy fartsy was the exact term that came to mind when I read the synopsis.

WTF is Coppola doing?

I'm expecting bad reviews and it being a massive flop but, I dunno, looks like it could be some wacky fun. It certainly looks interesting and unique.

I went from interested to disinterested at 88MPH.

Reminds me of Babylon from a couple of years ago which just seemed like Hollywood being self-indulgent and making films for themselves. It's not exactly piquing my interest.

I'm intrigued somewhat.

It reminds me a little of Aronofsky's The Fountain, except about politics/society as opposed to spirituality/death. It seems a big budget art film in a similar way. So yeah, I'm intrigued.

Lol, I heard how bad this is from Red Letter Media and other places. So it's funny that it was hyped like crazy and then came out and no one talked about it.. haha

I watch Corridor Crew on Youtube, They had a look at it 2 weeks ago

some of the VFX are actually good in the film and some of it not so much, Like it's from the 2000's on par with a Linkin Park music video.

From whzt I learned about it I'm hoping to save it for a special bad movie night.
