Dark Reality Full Movie Part 1

Zero Dark Thirty is a 2012 American political actionthriller film directed by Kathryn Bigelow and written by Mark Boal. Billed as the greatest manhunt in history. The Dark Tower Variety. As a critic, I know Im supposed to do my homework. So let me confess right up front that I did not prepare myself to review The Dark Tower, the droolingly anticipated film version of Stephen Kings multiverse novel series, by consuming all eight books in the series. I had a go at The Gunslinger back in the 8. King, but I never followed through on the sequels. And when I learned that the movie version was going to clock in at a mere 9. I thought Its clear that the filmmakers have taken the 4,0. Kings time tripping, parallel universe hopping genre mash and compressed them into something that doesnt pretend to be a page by page transcription of the novels. As a result, I decided to devote myself to whats up on screen instead of what isnt there. Heres what I saw.

It aims low and hits sort of. Its a competent and watchable paranoid metaphysical video game that doesnt overstay its welcome, includes some luridly entertaining visual effects, and it has to be said summons an emotional impact of close to zero. Which in a film like this one isnt necessarily a disadvantage. The movie, which centers on Jake Chambers Tom Taylor, a teenager with psychic powers who becomes the epicenter of a battle for the fate of Earth, suggests an X Men installment with exactly one underage mutant crossed with The Shining crossed with The Book of Eli crossed with The Matrix all wrapped up in enough pow Stephen King is feeling like theyve gotten their moneys worth. A few of the concepts drifting through the film suggest how far ahead of the curve King was, a few play as flagrantly derivative, but when you watch The Dark Tower you may not bother to separate the Kingian from the Jungian from the ready made for DVR ian.

Jake, a kid from New York, is consumed by spooky visions of another world that hes compelled to sketch into drawings. They include images of a mechanistic volcano, of human beings with fake skin, and of a glowering Man in Black and a hero known as the Gunslinger. Jakes visions are all real, but everyone thinks hes seeing things, including his mother Katheryn Winnick, who arranges to send him to a psychiatric retreat. But one of its workers has the seared skin out of Jakes nightmares. So Jake escapes, finding his way to a crumbling house in Brooklyn, where he goes through a portal that looks like a 7. Spielberg light show. He emerges in a rocky wilderness known as Mid World, and its there that he meets the Gunslinger, Roland Deschain Idris Elba, a stoic avenger in a frayed leather trenchcoat whose mission is to protect the Dark Tower, a force of cosmic good thats been around since the start of time. The Gunslingers nemesis, the Man in Black Matthew Mc. Conaughey, is out to destroy the Tower, and if hes allowed to do so the universe will collapse. The Man in Black operates out of that sinister volcano, a medieval sci fi lair where he places gifted children in a head locking Matrix chair that sucks out their energy to destroy the Tower or something, and what pulls you into the movie is Mc. Conaugheys spiffy portrayal of evil with a dry ice leer. Sauntering around in spiky jet black hair, he looks like the dark brother of Siegfried and Roy crossed with the worlds most lean and mean Elvis impersonator. Yet what makes the Man in Black nifty campy scary is the ominous nonchalance with which Mc. Conaughey imposes his power, commanding people to kill themselves on a whim Stop breathing he snaps at Jakes icky stepfather, and the dude does, and dies. Mc. Conaughey makes the Man in Black a neatly purposeful demon, a roving executioner with style. For a while, Idris Elba seems a little blank by comparison, but thats just because the Gunslinger is biding his time. Hes got a deeply personal beef with the Man in Black, who killed his father Dennis Haysbert, and hes a broken but unbowed cowboy knight, with a pistol forged from metal right out of Excalibur. Youre all but waiting for the moment when he travels with Jake through a portal back to earth, a place that believes in bullets. In Manhattan, Elbas recessive cool blossoms into badass swagger, and the protectorkid bonding takes. Tom Taylor is a good young actor who radiates tensile anxiety, even though he looks like hes going to grow up into Jon Bon Jovi. Jake has been graced with the gift of seeing all, but he still has lessons to learn, like the proverbial one taught by the Gunslinger He who shoots with his hand has forgotten the face of his father. This translates, roughly, as May the Force be with your ass kicking. With any luck, The Dark Tower could be a solid box office performer at least, for a weekend, yet the pictures no frills design raises an interesting question Would it be a more commercial movie if it were an ambitious, two hours plus sprawl that tried to stay digressively true to the layered weight of Kings novelsMy instinct says that no, that movie would have been a slog. The Dark Tower works as a film because its not trying to be a multiverse and because, in its forgettable derivative ballistic way, it packs in just enough of the King vision to remind you that everything old can be new again, especially if it wasnt all that novel the first time.
