The film stars Oscar nominee Timothée Chalamet (“Call Me by Your Name,” “Little Women”), His portrayal of Paul is set to make him a bigger star in the making and he reminds me of when Leo Di Capro started. He will mature with this role and he is a screen stealer and set for stardom.
Rebecca Ferguson (“Stephen King’s Doctor Sleep,” “Mission: Impossible – Fallout”), is a class act and she delivers as Paul Mum in this complex role. The rest of the cast is just as amazing Oscar Isaac (the “Star Wars” franchise) Oscar nominee Josh Brolin (“Milk,” “Avengers: Infinity War”), Stellan Skarsgård (HBO’s “Chernobyl,” “Avengers: Age of Ultron”), Dave Bautista (the “Guardians of the Galaxy” films, “Avengers: Endgame”), Stephen McKinley Henderson (“Fences,” “Lady Bird”), Zendaya (“Spider-Man: Homecoming,” HBO’s “Euphoria”), Chang Chen (“Mr. Long,” “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”), David Dastmalchian (“Blade Runner 2049,” “The Dark Knight”), Sharon Duncan-Brewster (“Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,” Netflix’s “Sex Education”), with Oscar nominee Charlotte Rampling Loved when she appeared and that voice of hers. (“45 Years,” “Assassin’s Creed”), with Jason Momoa (“Aquaman,” HBO’s “Game of Thrones”), and Oscar winner Javier Bardem (“No Country for Old Men,” “Skyfall”).
It getting oscar buzz for the awards in 2022′ and it will for sure I say get many nominations as to director and lead actors with art design and costumes and special effects.
I’m not one for sci-fi films but it did tick the box’s, and the only thing is I feel maybe a touch too long.
There will be another one by 2024 so this is as they say in the film… its only the beginning of what will be a blockbuster for Warner Bros.
4 stars.
