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 …

Ang Lee has a new religion in digital. Will anyone follow?

Associated Press  

NEW YORK — Ang Lee’s conversion began with “Life of Pi.” It was the director’s first movie in 3-D, and he sweated anxiously over the implementation of the technology and the torturous process of adapting Yann Martel’s fanciful and allegorical book set principally in a raft containing a 450-pound Bengal tiger. Like Lee’s previous film, the Iraq War veteran tale …

Review: The tech is advanced, but ‘Gemini Man’ is lifeless

Associated Press  

Will Smith is usually an asset for a movie. That was at least part of the idea behind “Gemini Man.” The action film from Ang Lee also uses state of the art de-aging technology to create a basically believable 20-something version of Smith and has billed itself as a “true event film” that “redefines action cinema.” Those are some lofty …

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” …
