I have to say I was going into this movie expecting something totally different, and in the end what I got was an awesome story of growing up and forgiveness.

The style is fresh and different, but many of the tropes have been repeated by more recent shows (The Boys, Umbrella Academy) so it ends up feeling like a retread despite coming first.

This had the potential to be a good movie, but it fell short. I don't think it was campy enough and it could have had been more of a comedy.

I was honestly shocked I hadn't heard more about this movie. Absolutely fantastic. The cast, story, and cinematography melted my heart.

The movie felt like 80% exposition and 20% actual movie. The exposition felt so heavy in part because so much context was jammed in that wasn't directly relevant to the main plot of the movie. The quality of the movie seemed low budget and inexperienced (not the special effects, referring to the picture quality overall and shots for scenes). The genre seemed to switch between children's show, superhero movie, and drama. Cary Elwes was phenominal.

The Hyperions isn't actually a perfect motion picture, however, that imperfection may very well make it a more effective motion picture.

Rated: 3.5/4.0

Matt's Movie Reviews

A surprisingly tender exploration of family and abandonment that embraces the quirky campiness of its 1970s kitsch setting.

Rated: 3/5

In the end, The Hyperions is good, not great…worse, with the potential to be great.
