Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis promises a visionary exploration of futuristic urban life, but it ultimately feels like an ambitious idea lost in a muddled execution. The film’s sprawling narrative attempts to blend high-concept science fiction with social commentary, but it struggles with pacing and an overindulgent storyline that leaves viewers more confused than engaged. The characters, though played by a talented cast, are underdeveloped and fail to elicit much emotional connection. Despite its stunning visuals, Megalopolis feels more like a chaotic collection of grand ideas that never fully come together. Ultimately, it’s a visually impressive but narratively hollow experience that falls short of its potential.
