(This is surely a side effect of a great deal of material being cut from the final edit, stoking the inevitable rumours of a more complete director’s cut.)
But whereas Jones’ storytelling clarity has in the past come through loud and clear, be it the atmospheric man-on-the-moon story of Moon or the slippery time-travel trickery of Source Code, here he appears to be overwhelmed by the sheer scale of his new creation, the plot an odd combination of the incomprehensible yet fast-moving. In truth it’s upsetting to criticise a genuinely creative director who is clearly having a ball with all the costumes, CGI and rampant spectacle that it is possible to throw at the big screen. Independent journalism is needed now more than ever.
