movie review - Project Power

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Kokubunji, 2022.11.27

This is a Sci-Fi thing about some genetically-modified humans living in a world that has censured them and placed them under rigid restrictions. I'd like to tell you more about how the story develops, but I gave up. It takes a fair bit for me to abandon a movie but this movie has what it takes in abundance. It's trying too hard where it needs to take it easy, it's extremely self-serious and yet also ridiculous. That's all I can really say.

Not recommended.

When destiny comes to a man from outside, it lays him low, just as an arrow lays a deer low. When destiny comes to a man from within, from his innermost being, it makes him strong, it makes him into a god…
