Yes it won't be winning any awards but it's the very definition of a guilty pleasure and easily Anderson's best film since Event Horizon. Anderson's re-telling of the destruction of Pompeii remains an enjoyable slice of 3D hokum. The added dimensionality really feels like an integral part of the film and not just tacked on for the sake of the box office.ĭerivative and exciting in equal measures, Paul W.
He's also one of the few directors that actually understands how to use 3D properly and the natively-shot Pompeii is a wonderful example of how to apply the technology in a skilful and imaginative way. Anderson is often criticised as a director of derivative and mediocre films, which has certainly been true in the past, but he's also capable of keeping the viewer entertained for the duration of the movie, which seems to be a rare talent these days. Whether it's scientifically accurate or not is of little importance, what matters is that the destruction is well orchestrated and exciting. Of course it's the effects on which the film stands or falls and thankfully the filmmakers do a wonderful job of recreating the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79AD.
Anderson handles the destruction well and uses the native 3D with genuine skill and imagination.
