The reviews of Francis Ford Coppola's "Megalopolis" are in. Critics either admire the movie's ambition, or call it a spectacular failure.

Francis Ford Coppola first conceived of the idea of “Megalopolis” in the 1970s, but it hasn’t been ready for audiences until now. “Megalopolis” finally made its official theatrical debut on Friday, Sept.

It’s not very common to walk into the theater with a clear idea — or any idea, really — of the general reaction to the film I’m about to see, especially a premiere.

Starring Adam Driver, the legendary filmmaker’s $120 million epic is a fatuous, head-spinning urban fable about the perils of decadence.

Megalopolis” centers around a meeting of minds in conflict. Frank Cicero (Giancarlo Esposito), the mayor of New Rome – a New York-esque city in the near future – frequently clashes with Cesar Catilina (Adam Driver) over how to rebuild the dying city to its former glory.

Renowned American director Francis Ford Coppola believes his harshly criticized science fiction film “Megalopolis” offers audiences a unique narrative vastly different from what they are accustomed to seeing.
