Movies News Talk
Tom Hanks and Robin Wright reunite with director Robert Zemeckis for "Here," a new movie that's both ambitious and divisive. The Film employs a fixed camera angle throughout, showing the same living room across various time periods— from prehistoric times to the present day. It's a bold experiment— but does it succeed?
This movie uses de-aging technology on Hanks and Wright and that appears to be the biggest talking point and some even described it being visually jarring for the most part across media outlets from those giving official review scores, reviews, trailers and pre-release speculation based on first shown movie images like from the Associated Press or interviews of cast including some details during morning talk show appearances even on national news - it garnered huge buzz.
The most interesting detail many reviewers are talking about? The completely stationary camera! The whole Film unfolds from a single, fixed viewpoint across centuries. Is that impressive or gimmicky? That will definitely come down to specific tastes from individual audiences as opinions do already range quite widely across general movie sites today. Rotten Tomatoes critic scores also currently reflect various impressions with opinions ranging quite drastically across both those critics and general audiences - in their initial reviews of those giving their personal takeaways. While both were available from various media sources at time of this write up. This technique could well end up being a talking point whether critically good or not based on whatever reactions happen beyond initial release commentary..
While other tech impacts like de-aging appear uneven some movie goers seem thrilled or indifferent overall towards this type of technical experimentation involving tech enhancements such as advanced AI models currently shaping up how modern motion picture and screen Entertainment technology work. Even other comments during morning talk shows highlight viewers' thoughts where hosts like Savannah Guthrie offered more details based on personal movie viewing experiences too which show an extra dimension regarding the topic and general user experience itself.
Zemeckis' "Here," based on Richard McGuire’s graphic novel, cleverly employs visual techniques to link events across different time periods. A roof leak in one era may literally flow and manifest visually onto events in another time like when a mother has her waters break and give birth or when disease runs rampart at some time then affects many across generations at different places throughout all the storylines!
While many news sources cover the novel origins alongside technical marvel like de-aging which uses really advanced AI effects to make all actors seem much younger, overall themes surrounding aging, family dynamics, loss, time's impact on peoples’ psyches and other major ideas - such as generational impacts around housing (even for working or other classes of people!) all become central and driving forces behind creating compelling viewership and discussion too for those moviegoers.
But critics aren't fully onboard yet! There have been many mixed feelings regarding de-aging visuals used throughout which have given uneven quality and various reviewers felt this "gimmick" hurt viewers ability to see a stronger connection between actors who had more years to grow from "Forrest Gump," since this film attempted a huge "ensemble cast" portrayal unlike others made before. Critics were largely lukewarm after early screenings as evidenced in various post AFI film festival write ups and early press release comments in Entertainment outlets.
Opening across various theaters this upcoming weekend - some headlines question if "Here" will score major box office wins even after those previews that didn't perform so highly overall like during a press review on rottentomatoes.com several weeks ahead as many discussed the potential issues regarding the tech that this motion picture used.
The ensemble cast includes Paul Bettany and Kelly Reilly playing Hanks and Wright's parents alongside Michelle Dockery and more! With their acting prowess these individuals also add yet other moments of intrigue.
Many sources already detail its cast including Tom Hanks, Robin Wright alongside some familiar names like those from recent series alongside movie credits some are already noting that have recently appeared also like in the recent period drama "Rivals" from those associated production firms as many sites already point out during current news and hype around this upcoming movie’s theatrical releases!
