Peter Bradshaw doesn't think much of Megalopolis, giving it a two star review in the Guardian

For me this is a passion project without passion: a bloated, boring and bafflingly shallow film, full of high-school-valedictorian verities about humanity?s future. It?s simultaneously hyperactive and lifeless, lumbered with some terrible acting and uninteresting, inexpensive-looking VFX work which achieves neither the texture of analogue reality nor a fully radical, digital reinvention of existence. Yet this sci-fi conspiracy drama-thriller, avowedly inspired by the Catiline plotters of ancient Rome, does ask a valid question. The US empire, like the Roman empire, like any empire, can?t last for ever. Has America?s decline-and-fall moment arrived?

I think it looks ambitious and visually arresting, so hope it will be shown in the town cinema.
