    It falls well short of providing any satisfying exploration of its weighty theme of persuasion versus violence in the face of oppression.

    Blomkamp, one suspects, does not possess the same imagination for interior worlds he’s exhibited for external. Demonic largely proves this thesis correct.

    It’s a familiar traced sketch of 20th century imagined dystopias, but Gen-Z trappings evocative of our own looming dystopia offer a slightly new shade of color. It just isn’t vivid enough.

    The film’s intentionally amateurish visuals are deployed on audiences with the precision of a jackhammer, all in the interest of obscurantism.
    • 82 Metascore

    A timely but confusing mess of styles, tones, and subject matter.
    • 35 Metascore

    The film at once wrings this premise for whimsical absurdism and slow-burn suspense, on each side vulgarizing the memory of the Holocaust.

    At times, Resurrection seems to outright taunt viewers for trying to make sense of it all.
    • 37 Metascore

    The film has, figuratively and literally, somehow even less gravity than its source material and predecessor. The visual language is divorced from reality and referent to the games; even Looney Tunes action is grounded in the real world—the better to subvert it.
