Is it the worst movie ever created? No, definitely not. However, the story truly does not live up to the deep, thought-provoking epic that the marketing campaign lead us to believe we would see. The final product of Gemini man feels like a tech-demo starring Will Smith with about thirty minutes of script hidden behind some good action scenes. While the action is fun, and Will Smith does have some good one liners, the action lacks weight. As far as the tech showcase we were supposed to see with the deaging and the HFR, there really is not a noticeable difference between this format and regular high definition. This might be an okay movie to throw on in the background, but there was nothing here that grabbed my attention. Expand

The cinematography is beautiful. If you appreciate films for their artistic value, this is a must-see. Lots of gorgeous shots. Only giving five stars, because the storyline was just meh. Very predictable.

Jumps to random locations without preamble. So many characters that other characters have to remind you of who they're talking about with nudges like "the bald guy". Real subtle. Meetings on meetings to rehash what we already know! And the CG looks like computer guy vs computer guy.

Save yourself the time or set your expectations to even lower than you thought.

A turkey! Strange movie, which starts OK but falls into ridiculousness. Looks like an old computer game, ans Smiths close looks like bad CGI. Owen and Winstead are good, but Smith is stale even when not a data animated younger clone.

Usually movies are changed to 3d post production and they don't do 3D justice, however this movie was filmed with 3D in mind and it shows. As for the story, to be honest its pretty straightforward, there are no twists, you can tell from the very beginning how the story will unfold. Its an action flick. and thats all it is but because of the visual aspect, i would say its worth it in theaters rather than waiting for it on tv. If you already saw the joker and want to see another movie, i would go give it a try lol Expand

Maybe the film could get better rate if it could be at least 1 hour, not more. The script is written for 30 mins.

I can only assume that some of the critics were watching a different film or didn't get paid enough to give it a higher score. Give it a chance and see it in 3D like I did, and make up your own mind about it

First, he's a 50ish government assassin who's ready to retire. He also plays the 20-year-old clone of himself, who is sent to kill the original version. This is supposed to be an action film, but there's too much conversation, which dulls the pace. Most of the fights aren't special with the exception of an incredible motorcycle chase that's impressively close up and wild. Director Ang Lee has directed with an assured hand, but the lackluster script gets in the way and slows him down. As for the de-aging effect, it's pretty impressive and the most memorable thing about the film. One woke change: The older version of the character teams up with a much younger woman, but they do NOT end up in bed! Expand

Boring, emotionless, lazy and above all else... A waste of your time. I wondered for nearly two hours how this abomination came to be... But then i saw David Benioff credited as writer, and suddenly everything made sense again.

The story:
Boring, emotionless, lazy and above all else... A waste of your time. I wondered for nearly two hours how this abomination came to be... But then i saw David Benioff credited as writer, and suddenly everything made sense again.

The story: Will Smith is a hitman, who is indoctrinated with the idea that he's 'the best', even though no arguments are presented to support that theory, nor are other assassins presented. Nonetheless, we watch a movie with over one hour of lazy and emotionless conversations that haven't been changed from the first draft of the script. Will Smith, who is usually such a good actor, has no emotional reaction to hearing that someone used his DNA to create a Clone before the first sheep was cloned... The ****

Some of the fight scenes are impressive by using high frame rate camera's, but can't elevate the movie higher than something that looks like it was filmed on a spare requisite set. Supposed soldiers die like flies, and the laws of physics only apply to those that aren't working for the government. Yuck.

I could go on about this abomination, but the fact remains that this movie is underwhelming and lazy in each aspect. Stay away from it, don't watch it on any streaming platform, and go watch Rambo: Last Blood. Sylvester Stallone is not a good actor, but his performance is Shakespeare compared to Gemini Man. I give this movie a 3/10. It is a terrible movie.

Will Smith's acting was good, there was plenty of tension, the fighting was quite intense, and the father-son relationship built between Henry Brogan and Junior was touching.
If the movie had intentions to comment about how men feel like younger versions of themselves make them obsolete as they age... well done. Touching, sad.
The bad guy's reasoning was more James Bond madness than an interesting philosophical idea, but it did serve as a motivation.
The most nonsensical thing in the film was a 40 pound, stick figure of a girl beating up a man 3 times her size, but hey, Hollywood and its fantasies, what can you do?
I enjoyed this movie more than expected. Worth a watch.

It has some great action sequences, but it falls very short in the visual effects department especially when Smith is on screen with himself. I like most of the concepts this story puts out and it fits the “fighting back against a government that they used to work for” troupe/genre, but they don’t really build or develop Smith’s “older” character for me to connect with him. Strangely the more nuanced relationship between the “younger” Smith and his father is actually one of the more interesting parts of the film. It’s too bad that there wasn’t more of that, but that’s what normally gets cut from an action movie to reduce run time. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pros:
-Good score.
-Action is well choreographed and fun to watch.
-The characters are likeable and the performances are really good, especially from Will Smith.
-The technology used to de-age Will Smith is very impressive.

Cons:
-While the action is very good, it is pretty over the top, which kinda clashes with the film’s more serious tone.
-Some dialogue feels a bit padded out.
-I don’t really understand why Henry stopped Junior from killing Clay when he just killed him himself anyways.
-They reveal later in the movie that Marino, Henry’s former partner, is still alive despite him supposedly being killed earlier in the film when he delivers a message to Lassiter yet there was no scene prior to this establishing that Henry knew he was still alive. Just a nitpick but I would’ve liked to have known how he survived and how Henry found him. Final Verdict: Gemini Man is an enjoyable flick with some truly impressive technology behind it that is worth checking out if you are interested, and it’s a shame that it hasn’t been doing very well at the box office.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I saw it in 4K 60fps 3D. I recommend you do too. First of all, the technology used to recreate Will Smith as a young guy was hit or miss. In some scenes it was very convincing, but in others I could sense the same dead eyes and weird expressions that I’m used to from videogame cutscenes. There was a sappy college campus scene at the very end that looked particularly bad from a CGI perspective. His jean jacket looked like maybe a PS3 texture. Second, the movie itself wasn’t bad. It was an action film. It would have been better if the violence felt more impactful, but like in many films the characters seemed to be able to shrug off bullet wounds, take enormous physical abuse with just a few aches and minor cuts, and heal lacerations and abrasions at remarkable speed. I thought the story was passable. A little bit of Bourne, a little bit of Orphan Black. It’s not going to win any awards and some things (such as the implications of cloning or the super soldier program) could have been done a lot better, but it wasn’t terrible by any means. I did think there was an interesting point raised at the end by the main villain. Now, as to the 60 fps. I thought it was amazing! It was so clear, it was like being there. Right off the bat I got this feeling of the veil being lifted, like a layer of vaseline that pervades all other films had been wiped clean. It was very easy to follow the action, even just camera pans, and to feel a part of it. The actors could not hide behind the judder of film creating artifical gravitas. Instead, I was there with them, seeing what they were ACTUALLY doing in each scene. It is un-movie-like, because I think we’re used to the obscuration of the low frame rate – think about when you’ve seen “behind the scenes” features or “making of” clips shot on video, where it feels like you’re seeing the ACTUAL scene and actors revealed without the layer of “film” turning it into a film. That’s what it felt like, like we’re getting to see a whole movie done like that in a much more true-to-life way. I didn’t notice any of the lack of depth of field that a couple of reviewers have complained about – there was quite a lot of depth focus / blurriness as well as decent 3D. I would say the 3D effect was used sparingly and didn’t take center stage. I’ve certainly seen more pronounced 3D, going all the way back to Avatar 2009. I had no trouble following anything or taking it all in, in fact I would say it was the opposite – but this type of film might lend itself more to that, since (other than young Will Smith) there was effectively no obvious CGI whereas The Hobbit film was mostly CGI.

Now, as to the action sequences – WOW. The first scene that made my jaw drop was the motorcycle chase scene and attempted assassination. It was stunning! The other scene that I would say really showed the potential was a fight scene between the two Wills down in some sort of catacomb with skulls. It was so easy to follow the fast action and to know everything that was happening (unlike, say, the Bourne films). There were other flourishes throughout the film – the drowning scene felt extremely real, whereas slow motion breaking bottles and water splashing were pure eye candy. On a 120Hz or 240Hz television with frame interpolation turned on, there are obvious artifacts everywhere you look and the effect is fairly unpleasant (despite the fact that 90% of the LCD televisions I’ve seen in peoples’ homes have the feature turned all the way up). This was smooth but also immaculately clear with no artifacts, obviously. I’d love to see what 120fps looks like (no currently available projector can do 120fps in 4K with 3D). Overall I didn’t find it distracting (the young Will CGI was sometimes immersion-breaking, however). I really liked it, I’d just like to see a better film utilize it. Actually I can think back to a lot of existing films that would have benefited from this.

Seen before, done many times, there isn't much new with "Gemini Man" except it's gimmick feature of cloning.

That being said, it's not bad, it's just simple. The story is basic and has been similar to the plot of many other action films that involve government security. Although they play it safe it does excite, it does draw you in, and it is enjoyable. What counts most in movies like this, that try to get you asking questions, is the ending. When you think of the plot and soak in what just happened, you cannot help but think "oh, it's a less complicated Bourne movie."

Acting from its lead, Will Smith, is great and he is in incredible shape for his age. He is undoubtedly committed and truly becomes the character that's been written for him. He is impressive when acting out his clone, however the CGI is hard to watch. For the most part it works, but some scenes focus too much on his face, forcing the viewer to dwell on the fakeness of the CGI. The supporting cast are also quite good, although a little shallow with them not being fleshed out as well as they could have been. This isn't because of their acting ability, but because the writing was simple.

At the end of the day, what takes away from this film is it's writing. It could have explored the moral choices and consequences of cloning a little more but all we get is a little conversation at the end with no real outcome. If not that, it could have made the plot of government conspiracy a little more complex and heavy.

Good acting. Fun time. Uncomplicated.

My mistake was to watch a lot of reviews of this movie before attending cinemas and I was negative anticipating everything from this movie,I have specially registered an account here just to helpconvince you guys that movie ain't that bad. My mistake was to watch a lot of reviews of this movie before attending cinemas and I was negative anticipating everything from this movie, but.....

Fine, let's break it down by parts what was really good and what was bad in my opinion as a viewer who likes Will Smith acting.

Good: Actors.
Will Smith - he was decent here, not the best role ever but his acting here was good 910.
The rest actors were not very impressive, tbh I don't even know who are they. The girl usually acting in some mysticalhorror movies, not best choice IMHO.

CGI:
Since it's my first HFR movie, everything in the movie was above and beyond. Yes, guys, it's not marvel or dc, you will not see super effects or super fights, but believe me or not, the HFR makes this movie really good. Every chase scene, every fight scene feels so smooth that you can't even share it here by text. It's really worth your money. It's almost the same when you spent all your entire life on 60hz monitor and switched to 144hz with G-sync. It's like the next level. Unfortunately, I watched some reviews before the movie and it was my biggest mistake since almost everyone said how this bad the movie is. How bad young Will Smith was in CGI perspective, etc. And because of that, I was watching very closely at young Will Smith, I was trying to find anything just to confirm what critics said, fortunately, didn't find anything. Even my friends who are not watching movies that much, even trailers, said: 'How that young actor was really good, interesting who is that guy, never seen him before in any movies'. Well, that was a bit fun for me, and I've explained that it's CGI, etc. Hence they said it was really good. So let's say we are satisfied with it. For such movie - 1010(if it were marvel movie type then the mark would be a lot lower.

Chasingfight scenescamera:
HFR really matters here. The camera was very smooth in every scene, zoom- zoom out was not shaking at all, everything was in the move and very smooth and at the same time very dynamic. There are scenes that are shot by 1 frame (scenes which are continuously going for 20-30 seconds by a single camera, with cool views and angles).
Motobike chase scene - very dynamic and fast, especially with HFR. To believe in it, guys you must watch it. Do not believe or trust anyone else review, watch your self and make your opinion regarding this movie. Catacombs fight scene - if not HFR, nothing really special here. Just 2 guys fighting between each other. But with that frame rate, it feels so fast, so smooth... I was watching that scene on a 1 breath. From technical point and operators' work - I have nothing to say, this is probably something the best I ever saw recently. It was really worth attending the movie to check yourself.

Now it's time to discuss what was bad in the movie, which could be improved:

Soundtrack - nothing memorable, very usual and static. They were applied very well in the fightingchase scenes, but nothing extraordinary to remember, so 410.

Storyline - 404 error: the storyline is not found. Very cliche story, cliche characters, even Will Smith. 4.510.

Action - movie basically has 3 or 4 action scenes with the shooting which is extremely low for such movie. Watching this movie in HFR gives you the wish to see more and more action but the movie is not giving it to you... Like teasing you... I was very satisfied with that few actions scenes, but I am not glad that its count is ultra-low. 410.


Overall, I think I covered everything that was really important for me in a movie, the details I paid attention to, etc. I hope it was helpful. Cheers guys and as I mentioned above, see the movie and make your opinion about it.

The cast all do well enoughThis movie is nothing you havent seen before, a general action thriller but that dosent mean it isn't good. Has very good action sequences and Will Smith is brilliant as both Henry Brogans older and younger self. The cast all do well enough acting as well. What lacks is the ending wasn't the best for me as when the antagonist dies it dosent feel impactful and feels that the final blow was to easy. Also the villian is a bit to weak and never gets involved in the action. Theres also another plot twist at the ending but you find out it leads to nothing and gets your hopes up, to drop them back down again. There was one death that seemed pointless and when it happened I was more surprised and wondering if they really died than being saddened or feeling the stakes getting higher. The start and middle though had two brilliant action scenes and were highly enjoyable. This might be a generic action movie, but it sure is good, fun and thrilling for the most part. Expand

By indulging Lee's obsession with High Definition cameras, they practically doubled its budget. Kudos also creating an exact digital replica of Smith on screen, which is very impressive let me tell you. However, the audience didn't care for these so called innovations as Gemini Man's roots is clearly in the 90's. It is by heart a typical Bruckheimer produced, Smith starring action blockbuster template from that era. Released then, it would have been a bigger hit. Now, its sensibilities felt outdated at best. As such, younger audiences, weaned by the so called 'roller coaster films' of the last years felt no desire to watch this film. It is a film that should have been sold to Netflix or any other streaming services. Expand

TheWent into this film with low expectations, I love Will Smith so normally ill watch anything with him in it. As a whole, Gemini Man isn't bad. Will Smith really brings it here and him teaming with Ang Lee really make this film watchable. The main problem here is the plot here is lackluster. Thats likely attributed to David Benioff.

The idea of an aging assassin facing off against a younger version of himself is intriguing and has worked in the past (Looper) but this film's biggest issue is it's story and wasted potential. Still, its not a bad movie and certainly worth the watch if you're looking to be entertained by Ang Lee and Will Smith.

Will Smith provided great acting, for both of his characters. I wish the movie was longer, because of how emotional scenes were, it flew me by quickly. I understand why it was the typical movie length though, you can't usually go against standards. However, Ang Lee did something against standards: High refresh rate. I really enjoyed it, my screen watching at home completely benefited from this movie. I enjoyed how the scenes didn't have the typical noise in them, this movie was very clean, high-quality, and enjoyable. Expand

As for the film he lets himself be seen. It offers good possibilities for the final speech #SeBattreCoisSeMe #Clonage #Ethique, but does not go far enough. Good action scenes, but the HFR does not help realism. It feels like being in front of a video game and all the problem comes from there. We do not believe in the young Wil Smith. We do not believe certain scenes and suddenly the end softens from minute to minute. In any case, I liked it.

Filmé de manière originale en saturant les couleurs et en utilisant le HFR (60image par seconde en 3D)... Je comprends pourquoi la presse française à détesté. Quant au film il se laisse voir. Il propose de bonnes possibilités quant au discours final #SeBattreContreSoisMeme #Clonage #Ethique, mais ne va pas assez loin. De bonnes scènes d'action, mais le HFR n'aide pas le réalisme. On a l'impression d'être devant un jeu vidéo et tout le problème vient de là. On ne croit pas au Wil Smith jeune. On ne croit pas certaines scènes et du coup le final se ramollit de minute en minute. En tous cas j'ai bien aimé.

With the exception of the de-aging visual technique - which by the way is no longer innovative - Gemini Man is a terribly forgettable and predictable action film.

The script is flaccid, simplistic and inoperative. The dialogues are laughable that any small attempt to make the experience something more serious disappears completely because you simply cannot get into the story and the film does nothing to try to interest you.

It's obvious that Will Smith was really interested in the project but it seems that the rest of those involved were not.
Not even Ang Lee, who delivers his weakest film since his hedious adaptation of the Hulk in 2003.

This is a film to watch on a weekend if you don't have better options or are looking for an overly simplified action story to burn some time.
People will hardly mention it when they talk about Will Smith's or Ang Lee's career.
You will hardly talk about it after seeing it, and no one will be talking about it in a couple of months.

Then enter the back-to-back over the top CGI ‘super’ action sequences - combined with this, a rather tired plotline of the super-performing secret service hitman who suddenly wants out (although his reasons are honourable). This sends him to the top of his boss’s hunted list. Will Smith is above average for this sort of material and quite convincing as the ‘best-of-his-game’, now being set-up for elimination. The clever visual special effects of seeing his ‘younger self’- now making attempts on his life, is a lot better than some hard to please critics would have you believe but perhaps, stretched out too much to maintain credible interest. Then they add to all this, yet another ‘unstoppable’ robotic clone to drag the story interest further into that overused juvenile level. A good cast is left to do battle with an underperforming script. Nicely choreographed (but again over-exaggerated) fights & stunts also get lost in the mix. Still, followers of Smith may not be overly disappointed. Expand

É um bom filme, porém tenta ser o que não é e não mantém o ritmo.

Como um fan do Will Smith de longa data, eu estava ansioso por esse filme, e eu não acredito que ele esteja mal. Na realidade, ele até se esforça, porém o roteiro não da alicerce o suficiente para total conhecimento de personagem. O filme, em diversos momentos, tenta dramatizar pondo a humanidade do personagem em jogo, mas esquece diversos aspectos importantes quanto ao desenvolvimento - não só em tela, mas como também no background; e por vezes deixa tudo de lado. A mesma coisa é feita com o vilão, onde só dão espaço de fala ao mesmo no fim do filme, e nesse ponto... ninguém se importa mais!

A ideia não é original, e o minimo que se espera seja uma pegada diferente, mas nem isso. A unica diferença visível foi nos gráficos propriamente ditos, mas seria isso um mérito a ser exaltado visto que a evolução da tecnologia é puramente natural? Além do mais, quem tem olhos mais atentos, percebe claramente que ainda é uma CGI, mesmo que sim: está bem feito. Detalhe: o filme foi gravado e projetado para se assistir a 120fps, infelizmente não há cinemas na minha região com tal tecnologia.

As cenas de ação poderiam facilmente salvar esse filme, o problema é que não se mantém o ritmo. Com certeza, a parte mais eletrizante do filme foi a perseguição de moto. Ela foi bem estruturada desde o encontro ao embate final. Me senti ansioso e nervoso. Os movimentos de moto, junto com uma cinematografia quase que impecável, tornaram tudo muito real. Eu fiquei ansioso pelo resto do filme esperando uma cena ao mesmo nível, mas me decepcionei.

A disjointed movie that has a place next to the oft-criticized but definitely cult-classic movies of Will Smith. I, Robot, After Earth, etc etc.

The packing is brisk but insufficient. Set pieces are thrown at you fast and without fury, like a bond movie.
The acting is alright considering the genre. The actors are itching to give out more exposition and more one liners, but the time never arrives. The movie takes itself more serious than that.

The CGI is alright, the music fits the bill, the whole schlemazel is definitely midline.

Which is to say, I'm disappointed because I usually like these cheesfests. If I went in without any expectations and I watched trailer #2, perhaps I'd be more comforted by this version of Scifi Smith goodness.

As it stands, it was a good movie until the skull scene. Then it felt like another director took a stab at it, and it became like Hancock ~ connected but NOT. :)

Ignore the poor ratings, it’s pretty good. It had humor and plenty of action. All in all, I liked it.

Gemini Man will make you double take

Welcome back to Stream to Big Screen! This week we are reviewing movies and giving out horoscope advice. Gemini: the astrological sign known for its twins symbol and for producing individuals who often show the dual nature of life along with their ability to view life from different angles. Enough of that, this brings us to Gemini Man, the movie for the week.

Gemini Man, stars Will Smith as Henry a hitman ready to retire and actually experience life. Unfortunately for Henry, a younger version of himself (Junior/Jr.) is sent after himself to do what he does best, eliminate the target. Shots fired, pick up some crucial sidekicks along the way, pandemonium ensues and we follow the Wills down the rabbit hole while realizing why the movie is titled Gemini Man.

Needless to say after that synopsis, the storyline isn’t too much different from other movies like this. Think of Red or Red2…. except Bruce Willis has a clone chasing him instead of some random other hitman and not as campy. Yes, we’ve seen this movie before, if you look at it like that BUT we didn’t come to the theater for that. DID YOU NOT COME TO BE ENTERTAINED?! And entertained you shall be. Ang Lee shot this movie in 4K 3D at a high frame rate of 120fps (frames per second), which is supposed to make the movie more natural, smooth and immersive in the 3D and IMAX realms. I will say the movie did feel very smooth almost like a video game. UNFORTUNATELY, Jr. also looked exactly like a video game character for many action scenes in the movie. It was hard to not notice how poorly the CGI blended in for certain parts. But that didn’t spoil the whole movie for me, even though it was quite noticeable.

The action in this movie is very good. Lee definitely struck a great balance between storyline and John Wick fight fest. The movie has a ton of action to keep you entertained throughout without it feeling like one constant fight sequence. The Will on Will action was worth the admission alone but on top of that we got the classic Will moments. Picture your favorite moments in I am Legend, Suicide Squad, Men in Black, Pursuit of Happyness and I, Robot (and etc.) all wrapped into one movie. HOW CAN YOU BEAT THAT? No, seriously, Will definitely pulled aspects of previous characters to make Henry feel believable and natural. Even his CGI younger self, while at times hard to look at, Will was able to convey the emotion of the scene. His acting actually was quite important to the moral and themes of the movie. Had his performance been lacking, then the movie would’ve floundered.

At the end of the day, this won’t go down as one of Will’s best movies, but action-wise, it may be one of his most entertaining. This movie gives you vintage Will Smith. He gives you his full acting range and shoots people along the way. This is a good movie to watch on a big screen. Smith and general action fans, definitely go see it. Everyone else, catch the matinee or a RedBox rental.

This is a pretty bland action movie staring Will Smith. More definitely could've been done with it.

Nothing innovative but at least a plausible story with good actors. Camera shot/quality also good.

another meaningless film, pro-evocative of nationalistic military sentiments and doctrinal prevalence in terms of official science (being able to clone humans for the sake of the State, as if they were God); NBC - comcast - Universal...

The de-aging was pretty cool, but a little behind the CGI needed to make it 100% believable. The story is average with a few plot holes, but overall an enjoyable enough movie.

An American hitman retires, and now the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) wants him dead. This type of plot is very common, so common that it always comes in two versions: pure or spiced. Pure, when the plot is simply what it is; someoneAn American hitman retires, and now the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) wants him dead. This type of plot is very common, so common that it always comes in two versions: pure or spiced. Pure, when the plot is simply what it is; someone leaves the Agency, and the Government betrays him. Spiced, when they add some element to spice up the plot. Gemini Man is spiced. The spice is that the Agency sends a clone of the hitman to kill the retiree.

Henry Brogan, after finishing one more job, decides to retire. His superiors at DIA wants to kill him to eliminate loose ends. Only there were no loose ends. That's Gemini Man's biggest problem: the motives don't make sense.

A friend of Henry's warns him that his last job was forged. The dude he killed wasn't who he was reported to be. But the plot does not unfold around this conflict. The plot uses this conflict to justify why DIA wants Henry dead. Explanations reappear as the plot approaches its climax, where we learn that conflict doesn't matter, making it all just an excuse for the film to move forward.

After DIA tries to kill Henry with conventional assassins, Clay Verrys, our villain, decides to send a special assassin: Henry's clone. Here, congratulations on the film: at least the clone idea was well thought out. The clone is not literally Henry with the same abilities; well, actually the clone is, only the clone, Junior, was born like any other human. Henry is 51 years old while Junior is 20 (-ish,) which makes him more agile than Henry.

From this point forward, the movie is just Junior hunting down Henry and his friends. The friends are Baron and Danny who inevitably got involved. The stunts are spectacular to look at, but surreal. No human being could do or bear everything that happens in the movie. I would prefer it to be something real, a cat-and-mouse game with elements of suspense, stealth and action when needed.

Augmented reality to make Junior look younger Will Smith is acceptable but noticeable. Junior looks like rubber or wax in some scenes. As for Will Smith in general, I don't know... He falls into the same category as Jim Carrey for me: I accept him in serious movies, but he has that comedic air. I couldn't help but chuckle in some lines.

The revelation to Junior that he's a clone of Henry isn't all that exciting. But maybe I was getting my hopes up too much. Of course, the revelation advances the film to the final events, which are bad. Clay makes such a ruckus that I doubt it wouldn't reach the ears of the President and the National and International Press. Lots of fireworks. If you want to erase loose ends, you want to do it silently, not warning the whole world that you are burning files.

The final twist is abrupt and, so close to the end of the film, unnecessary. The character Clay ends up becoming weak and with bad motives. The ending is not surprising as Gemini Man is PG-13.

Recommended if you want to spend some time with your family. If you like more elaborate plots, suspense, violence, you can skip it.
