Couldn’t help thinking that Netflix have based their entire crime documentary oeuvre on this style of film making,but they’d have had this running to about five hours

“What would we do if we found out our world was doomed from climatic changes?”
“Nothing, just go on squabbling as usual.”

The colour on these old 60’s UK pictures has such a deep quality. The red and greens just pop off the screen. 
Enjoy the villainising of the people in authority and the scientists are the heroes battling against religion iconography. 
The whole thing pretty much filmed on three sets which gives it a nice contained feeling. 
Obviously twatting…

Megalopolis

2024

★½ Watched

OK, so it is bollocks, was hoping to like it. Wasn’t prepared for how bad some of it looked. There were scenes through out that looked like poorly made TV, which is a shame as some it it looked great. Anyone sighting this as some misunderstood masterpiece is full of crap.
