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.

A creative person would prefer their music to be stolen and enjoyed than ignored. This is the dilemma for every creative soul: he or she would prefer to starve and be heard than to eat well and be ignored.

—Pete Townshend
