Robert Zemeckis has one of the most eclectic filmographies in history under his belt. From the ever-prevalent and mainstream Back to the Future series to his infamous motion capture version of A Christmas Carol, Zemeckis' body of work has always been concerned with emerging technology. The director seemingly has a fascination with integrating or establishing cutting-edge developments in filmmaking.
Zemeckis' latest venture into this territory is Here, which employs the use of a de-aging artificial intelligence technology on actors called Metaphysic Live that works in real-time as opposed to post-production. However, this is not Here's only technological gimmick. The movie also takes place entirely within one room and from one camera angle. Despite these cinematic innovations, Here has not been very well-received by critics or audiences. One major reason being cited for the backlash is the film's ending. So, how does Here end, and is it as bad as everyone says?...
