It’s definitely worth watching. I can’t say I fully understood it on one watch, the time stopping ability is clearly a metaphor, but I’m not settled on what for yet.
It started with Caesar, then passed collaboratively to his wife, then their baby.
Edit I’ve been thinking about it tonight and I think I have it…
At the start, the Architect can stop time, as an architect, he has the ability to form a lasting, permanent impression on the world around him. His posterity as it were.
Through the film, he loses that level of influence, and similarly loses the ability to stop time.
When he falls in love, he regains a level of influence over his destiny, and so does she. They can stop time together, but not separately.
The film ends with their baby stopping time, as his permanent impact on the world has been transferred to a new generation. Father and mother are frozen in time as the baby moves forward.
Edit Having now seen it a 2nd time on UHD, yes, I think I had it right.
Bonus - the UHD is not avaiable in the US, but it is region free if you import it from the UK. The Blu Ray that comes with it has the bonus features and it’s region locked, but that’s a solvable problem.
I watched it. A fever dream. Honestly I don’t even think the director expected any more than that.
kind of too bad, it wasn’t what I’d call a great movie, but it did hold my interest. haven’t seen another one like it, I’ll say that lol.
Yeah when the main compliment that people are giving is “it’s not great but at least it’s not another Marvel movie”, that’s not gonna carry you very far
How much per ticket?
At some point who is paying these prices?
I had no idea what this movie was about but I wanted to watch it. I’m sad that I can’t in a theater now.
From the media I saw about the film it felt like art was the point not profits. Ford Coppola sold a lot of personal assets to fund the movie, so it felt like something he just wanted to do.
