Tom H @HarkensT 1d Asif Kapadia has spent years making his mark as a master of the modern archive-driven documentary, letting real, raw archival footage carry the entire weight of the narrative. With 2073 Kapadia tries something different. Scifiumentary? He sets us a bleak future where a survivor named Ghost navigates a ruined "New San Francisco." But the sci-fi framing is just a vehicle; Ghost’s nightmares provide a barrage of real-world documentary footage from today. This jarring structure results in reviews of 1 or 5. People either respect its sheer audacity or hate it, walking away feeling completely beaten down. And let’s be honest: 2073 is deeply disturbing. This isn't Minority Report or Bladerunner. This is real people dying, police brutalizing protesters, and actual human suffering. It makes the viewing dark and exhausting. What makes this so is its horrifying plausibility. It cuts far deeper because it isn't an imagined future; it’s a logical extension of our current path. See more Missy B @Missy_SYD May 9 Radical left wing extremism at its finest. Fascinating how lefties are incapable of even the most basic critical thinking. Their maturity stops as a toddler, where they continue to stamp their feet and throw tantrums throughout adulthood at hearing words they don’t like, and people having a differing opinion to them that must be banned at all stops. They are sad, pathetic, continually thinking they are the victim because their radical bipolar emotional responses to every little thing makes their life miserable.

A 5-minute YouTube video would have been just as effective (as in, not at all). The movie won't change anyone's mind because a) it's scattered and dull and b) everything else we've consumed today, yesterday, last week, 5 years ago... has been tailored to us based on our cookies.

See more Isla G @RT86513232 Apr 27 The premise presented in the first 20 minutes of footage is interesting, depicting a future where everything has completely gone to hell, while simultaneously hinting at events that occurred decades earlier, even before our present day. The problem is that there are literally only about 20 minutes of scenes set in this dystopian future (which is intriguing), and then we're essentially watching an HBO, Discovery, or Netflix documentary. It's filled with interviews, statements, viral social media videos, and news footage from around the world. The message it wants to convey is easy to grasp, but the film loses much of its impact by repeating the same points three or four times in a runtime of 1 hour and 20 minutes.
