MEGALOPOLIS Movie Review: A Sneak Peek into the Epic Adventure

Do you know what is newly trending on the movie front? Today the second Megalopolis Official Trailer review came out and it has caused quite a commotion. Epic story fans, people fond of futuristic cities and something tragic – this film was made especially for them. Going deep into the reasons of why this trailer is so enjoyable, let’s continue, please.

What is the Story of Megalopolis?

Megalopolis the movie is set in a Rome in the present day, but not quite like Rome as we know it. New Rome – a city for which nothing is too big and everything is too optimistic and technologically progressive. The story revolves around two main characters: Cesar Catalina, which is acted by the gifted Adam Driver, and Franklyn Cicero, portrayed by Giancarlo Esposito. Two characters stand in conflict to each other in this regard: Franklyn, the city’s mayor, has his own agenda, while Cesar wants to transform the city into a state that everyone would like. It sounds intense, isn’t it?

Why Should you watch Megalopolis ?

First of all, the cast is fabulous. Other than Adam Driver, and Giancarlo Esposito, the movie also features Nathalie Emmanuel, Aubrey Plaza, and Shia LaBeouf. Given such a strong cast list, one already assume the voice acting is going to be superb. Besides, it is very important to note that the director of the movie, Francis Ford Coppola is considered to be one of the most excellent directors across the world. As a director of iconic movies like The Godfather, the author also thinks positively of him.

Thus, there’s a margin for some great narratives.

Megalopolis Visuals and Effects

From the trailer we get a first look at the beautiful graphics. The specific location of New Rome is described as very appealing with megastructures and steel gray architecture of the future. Special effects are very good, or should I say out of this world You. We are taken literally to space! In his current perfection there’s a scene where Cesar stands on a balcony overlooking the city and boy, oh boy, was the scene magnificent. You can almost taste the hair flowing and the adrenaline rushing in the events that are being conducted out there.

Okay, now let’s talk practicality and what you have all been waiting for FREEDOM. This is not to say that the trailer itself is all dark and brooding. It is not all foreboding and gloom though there are moments of humour as well. For example, there is a sequence in which Cesar attempts to convince a group of people of his vision and one of the listeners looks utterly bored and continues yawning. Then there is a humorous part when Franklyn’s assistant spills coffee on the latter’s suit. Oops! Tell me what a dreadful day at the kind of job you just described would be like.

Why it will capture the fancy of children?

However, it also possible to say that despite deep and rather philosophical themes, the movie tells the audience easy to grasp. They are all realistic and the story is interesting. However, one cannot deny the appeal of the underdog narrative that they can bring to the table. Cesar’s motivation to improve New Rome is rather quite a motivating story. The movie is good for children in classes 6 to 8 because the movie aids in education enlightening children on perseverance, teamwork as well as the need to stand up for what one believes in.

Conclusion
