Roving fisheye handheld through city streets, following people (are they characters, or just people?).  The camera isn&#8217;t sure either, and wanders off.  Once it stood between two people talking and just spun in circles &#8211; Katy hated that.  I guess it&#8217;s innovative(?), and the cinema contains multitudes, but it&#8217;s pretty harsh to watch this the same week as <em><a href=\"\/journal\/archives\/17069\">Days of Heaven<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/journal\/image24\/surge2.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Our people are kids with nothing going on, so it&#8217;s not clear why we want to listen to them talk for ages.

In addition to creating a world of travel that moves at the speed of thought, an almost physical remapping of the planet, <em>The Human Surge 3<\/em> dispenses with ordinary zones of dramaturgy, instead staging lengthy sequences in the middle of the water or on an arduous hill. As Williams melds different space-times into single scenes, even the basic rules of gravity are up for debate. Like living clip-art, people occupy the same location, but cannot possibly share a contiguous environment.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/journal\/image24\/surge1.jpg\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been liking the still with the parrot from this movie all year &#8211; turns out that is its one really cool image, from a rare time when the image mutates and deforms its subjects into digital moosh.
