Chris Hemsworth in 'Spiderhead' on Netflix, Bryan Cranston and Annette Bening 'Go Large' on Paramount+ and Indiana Jones gets a digital upgrade.
The word “visionary” gets tossed around too much, but there’s really no better way to describe the spectacularly bleak animated science-fiction film “Mad God” or its creator,. Best known for his effects work on franchises like “Star Wars,” “RoboCop” and “Jurassic Park,” Tippett started making “Mad God” in the 1990s, before setting it aside and returning to it a decade ago. The film is an elaborately detailed depiction of a depraved, irredeemable universe.
Tippett eschews dialogue, letting his astonishing designs and intricate animation tell the story. It’s an impressive feat — if perhaps not dazzling enough to sway viewers who can’t abide rampant grotesquerie. For animation and sci-fi fans with strong stomachs and adventurous tastes, though, “Mad God” is a must. There’s never been a movie quite like it: an unflinching tour through the darkest recesses of a brilliant artist’s mind.
Edward Streeter’s 1949 comic novel “Father of the Bride” has inspired multiple movies, each of which in its own way follows the book’s lead and comments on the expensive and exhausting rituals of modern American weddings.
