The only thing worse than a bad idea is a good idea used
badly. And in the realms of science fiction, the inherent freedom of the genre
allows for a wealth of possibilities for stories to tell. However, as I have
unfortunately gotten into before like with Self/Less and Downsizing, there’s a
difference between having possibilities and actually making them pay off. With
writer/director Duncan Jones’ latest, we see one of the more bewildering
examples of this in action.
