Gemini Man

I think it’s a good action movie. Although the plot is common, it‘s better than“Family9”Much better.

_SO SMOOOOTH!_

The frames are so smooth at 60fps. The film is good for casual watching. It has a touch of humanity and sentimentality. The POV angles when the character shoots are immersive indeed. Also, the small details like bullet reload and gun dismantles are pleasing to watch. HDR adds much more flavour! HDR & 60fps are like bread and butter, it should be the future, we need more movies like this!

One word : **GAME MOVIE**

I was genuinely excited to watch an action movie with Will Smith, staring Will Smith too. I loved his main character and you feel that Will Smith has aged in a movie for once, but still a bad ass which I liked. I liked how it played out and they honestly got the younger Will Smith looking like a serious Fresh Prince Of Bel Air. And Clive Owens plays a great bad guy, he has that look to him which fits the bill. If you like Will Smith you will enjoy the movie, and it has some pretty bad ass action scenes, the story could have been a bit better but overall I liked and enjoyed it.

The hand to hand combat was so weird it was like to slender men hitting each other. It was weird.. But the movie was OK to watch. Thanks Netflix.

A decent action film with great acting, good chemistry and a fair sense of humor among Will and Mary-Elizabeth. There are a couple of scenes where the action seems fake, more like a video game, especially when viewed in 3D. But overall one of the most enjoyable action films I've seen this year.

I don't know, as far as action movies go this isn't so bad. Sure, it checks all the boxes and the plot is not the most interesting part. At least it has one (hello Mr. Bay). Is it realistic ? Of course not. But there are hardly any action movies today that are. At least it isn't Michael Bay-ish (sorry for again pulling the reference).
I wonder why they didn't use Jaden for the role of the clone. Seams so obvious to me. In any case, I am concerned about that de-aging technique because it opens up avenues I am not sure I want to see.

It's certainly not the best plot ever. That said, it was a greatly entertaining experience due to the number and quality of the action sequences. They're well edited, and well choreographed. It felt like a great Terminator-style action movie from the '80s/'90s bu shot with more modern technology.

From a technical perspective, the movie is outstanding and shows off the benefits of shooting a movie at a framerate higher than 23.976 fps very well. The 3D was solid too, and certainly a welcome experience (as it is for every movie that gets a 3D release), but the 3D ended up taking a backseat to the real draw of the higher framerate.

120 FPS was a great choice particularly for an action movie like this one and I'm happy to see someone in Hollywood willing to be innovative instead of just doing things for the sake of "that's how it's always been done."

From the opening train sequence to flying scenes or scenes that take place in water, it really gives everything an increased sense of speed that looks more close to how these activities would go down in real life. During the action sequences I felt like I was watching a fight taking place right in front of me instead of watching a fight that was recorded on a camera. There was a certain added level of engagement that I normally only feel when playing a modern video game. I think this high framerate technology is going to be a game changer, especially for action movies, if we can just get some of these old fogeys in Hollywood to start dying off and pass the torch on to younger directors who have grown up consuming higher framerate media.

You're certainly going to have the typical peanut gallery of boomers who grew up watching exclusively 23.976 films who have been brainwashed into thinking that a framerate considerably slower than the human eye can process is somehow more "realistic," but hopefully as we see more high framerate movies it will eventually be an adopted video improvement standard like color, widescreen, higher resolutions, surround sound, and HDR. As those older generations kick the bucket you will see less and less opposition to more realistic higher framerates in movies and eventually the majority of the population will think that slideshow framerate 23.976 movies are the ones that look "weird."

The inevitable 4K Blu-ray release with a framerate of 60 FPS is going to be the way to go for this movie, until we get some future format that can deliver the full 4K 3D 120 FPS. If you can see it in a cinema that can play it at 120 FPS, I highly recommend it, but even 60 FPS should be a considerable improvement over your typical movie's framerate.

The films advertising is all about cloning and there being a CGI young Will Smith. Half of the film though is Henry Brogen (Will Smith), an aging Hitman. Hunted by his former bosses when a colleague gives him dangerous information.
His only ally is Danny (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) who was hired to spy on him. Who becomes a target along with him.
The film is mostly like Bourne in the beginning. However, since Clay Verris (Clive Owens) thinks no one can stop Brogen but someone just as skilled. He sends a younger clone after him, of course.
The charms of Will Smith and Mary Elizabeth Winstead help make Gemini Man more interesting than it has a right to be. Ang Lee (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) as director does also help the film be better than it deserves.

As an HFR enjoyer, this was wonderful to watch in 4K60. There is a clarity that comes with high frame rate that I find captivating compared to standard. Maybe it's the novelty, but it's a shame that the format hasn't found a niche outside of this, Avatar and the Hobbit movies. The action sequences are so fluid and fun to watch, especially during the Wickian finale, that I'm (almost) able to forgive it's awful script work and paper thin plot to see a truck explode at a silky smooth 60 frames per second.
