There’s no doubt that Look, Zemeckis and DP Don Burgess’ technical achievement in cinematography
Thanks to films like Back to The Future, Forest Gump, Cast Away and The Polar Express, I’m always interested in "the next Robert Zemeckis project". Here, the esteemed director once again shows his technical mastery and innovation – if he lacks the clear narrative rhythm that his films are usually known for. For a very simple overview, here’s a story about a single plot, shot from one angle – over a longer period of time (dinosaurs to 2020+). It obviously focuses on the life and family that Richard (Tom Hanks) and Margaret (Robin Wright) develop throughout their lives in this space.
He gives a wonderful performance, and his chemistry with Wright has held true over the years
It seems like something that’s tied to a single fixed camera point of view is breaking the very rules of cinema, but it works well enough to keep the audience interested. “Static” doesn’t equal “boring”; it’s also a return—whether with an outdated AI or a face present—to the great “everyman” roles that Hanks thrives in. But there’s something missing here, and I think, ironically, it’s the lack of time in the Hanks/Wright angle. While it would break the whole concept if it removed the other character arcs altogether, I found myself not at all invested in the Native Americans, the Revolutionary Patriots, or the 1940s inventors who make up the “backstory” of the house, if you will .

. The only thing I really cared about was Richard & Margaret (and their orbit) from an emotional angle. So, despite some heartwarming/thoughtful moments and some fine technical prowess, its ceiling here is limited by those technical requirements. Perhaps if there were cradle-to-grave directions on screen, things would be different, but the breadth of scope also means a time squeeze in some areas (to the detriment of the film as a whole).
