Read our privacy policy Will Smith has been "de-aged" in his forthcoming new film, Gemini Man, where visual effects make it possible for him to play two roles. The film is the latest movie in 2019 to use technology to make its star look younger, following Captain Marvel, which de-aged Samuel L Jackson so he could play MCU character Nick Fury in the Nineties. See some of the reactions on social media, below: Early reviews from critics have offered a highly positive reaction to the special effects in Gemini Man, with it being called "stunning" and "eye-popping". Filmmaker Ang Lee also shot Gemini Man in 3D at 120 frames per second with 4k resolution, as he did with his previous film Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk.

Gemini Man movie review: Will Smith proves yet again why he's a fading movie star in a tepid Ang Lee action film

Firstpost  

Gemini Man shows maybe, there will be a day when we see a movie about a character with agency in a story, and not about the big star persona of Will Smith himself. Gemini Man joins the long line of movies that seem to indicate that Smith is a fast fading star, not quite up to date with what audiences …

‘Gemini Man’ Scores on VFX but Will Smith Can’t Salvage the Story

The Quint  

The movie looks pretty cool when it comes to the visual effects. I really enjoyed the first bit but the second half felt like I was watching a Rajinikanth film. Take for instance the scene in which Will Smith is attacked by 50 people but doesn’t even suffer one bullet injury, and instead takes down two people with one bullet. …

How the ‘Gemini Man’ visual effects team created a young Will Smith

Painting in the digital medium of ones and zeroes, today’s visual effects artists can conjure almost any creature imaginable. But because “Gemini Man” often involved Smith playing both characters in the same scene — and because Lee intended to shoot the film in a high-frame-rate format that would be less forgiving of any sleight of hand — the “Gemini Man” …
