Review of They Cloned Tyrone (2023) by Snes — 25 Jul 2023
Did they actually shoot this on film? Was it just Netflix encoding making it look pixelated and blurry? Were the grain effects etc fake? All irritating questions I had on the back of my mind, I must have hit alt+ctrl+shift+d a dozen times during the movie to try and figure out if it was still in 4k.
Which is a shame because the cinematography, set pieces, costumes, and lighting are AMAZING in this movie. Jamie Foxx giving quite possibly my favorite performance of his career yet, and making an incredibly fun team with Boyega and Parris.
In a way this reminds me of the movie Palm Springs, it starts off as one thing then quickly morphs into a fun scifi romp. There are some logical inconsistencies here and there, possibly some of it is intentional, but one aspect of the movie "the three words" really bothered me since in the real world it would have unraveled the entire ending of the movie.
However none of my complaints are enough to take away from how fun the movie is, how original it is, how well acted it is, how well shot it is, etc. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
