IF THESE WALLS COULD SUCK.
As someone with a rather overdeveloped sense of place, I think the concept behind this (Richard McGuire's 2014 graphic novel, which I used to recommend to my comic shop customers) is fascinating, and effects envelope-pusher Zemeckis seems like a sensible choice to handle it. And I don't think there's anything wrong with the technical execution; the de-aging isn't flawless, but it's about as good as it gets these days, and the film doesn't happen without…
