The Chronicle also trashed Aronofsky's "The Fountain" (2006) as a misguided "vanity project." But, I thought that was a great, challenging movie. We will see how "Megalopolis" turns out.
I'm with you. I want to see it, and will judge it on merit, not box office.
Failure is a relative term. The article means it might not recoup very much of its large production cost. I can think of plenty of films that failed at the box office, but that no one would call a failure. Citizen Kane, Blade Runner, The Big Lebowski, Mulholland Drive, Fight Club, and lot more, including The Fountain, as you pointed out.
I have a feeling this will be like a 2.5 hour, $120million Tommy Wiseau movie
shareAt least it was mildly more watchable than Cloud Atlas.
