While it sounds like a good idea on paper, it leads to a fake and 'uncanny valley' look, similar to what happened with The Hobbit trilogy.

Speaking of which, the movie is filmed in 120FPS (60FPS on 4K Blu-ray) instead of the standard 24FPS, meaning the motion is smoother than other films in theatres equipped for 120/60FPS playback.Some scenes that use CGI feel very stiff as if they were from a video game.On some occasions the de-aging effects for Will Smith are poorly done, making it look really obvious and distracting.One of the biggest selling points about the movie is the fact that the film uses de-aging effects, despite plenty of other films that released before this also using de-aging effects, and used them much better.Most of the film is slow-paced and boring, especially the parts before Brogan meets Junior.The camera angles during the action scenes are also awkward.

One example of these laughable moments is when Junior launches his motorcycle at Brogan in hopes of hitting him.The action scenes have a lot of laughably cheesy moments, especially the unnatural character movements in hand-to-hand fights.Although the acting is decent, there are times where it feels like the actors want to have nothing to do with this film.The biggest example of this is when Danny Zakarewski tells Brogan that Junior is his clone, and then repeats this statement an unnecessary amount of times in the scene.Characters have a tendency to state the obvious, sometimes more than once.At times some characters are only there to advance the plot. Most characters have little development.Tons of other films have a plot similar, if not almost exactly the same, as this one. Aside from the fact that Brogan is being hunted by a younger clone of himself, the plot itself is a generic one.This choice of writers ultimately caused very poor writing. The genres that the writers mainly work on are very different from each other, with none of them being known for focusing on this film's genre.To his horror, Brogan soon learns that the man who's trying to kill him is a younger, faster, cloned version of himself. His plans get turned upside down when he becomes the target of a mysterious operative who can seemingly predict his every move. Henry Brogan is an elite 51-year-old assassin who's ready to call it quits after completing his 72nd job. Gemini Man premiered at the Zurich Film Festival on Octoand was theatrically released in the United States by Paramount Pictures on October 11, 2019, in standard 3D, Dolby Cinema, 4DX, IMAX 3D, and ScreenX Formats, as well as in HFR (high frame rate) '3D+' on select screens (including 16 Dolby Cinema and 47 IMAX 3D with Laser screens worldwide). The film was originally going to be released in 1997, but the film entered development hell due to Walt Disney Pictures, the original producers, not having advanced enough technology to produce the film, until in 2016, Skydance Media purchased the rights to the screenplay (which had been through several rewrites) from Disney and in October 2017, Ang Lee signed on to direct for Skydance with Paramount handling the distribution rights. Gemini Man is a 2019 American sci-fi action thriller film directed by Ang Lee and stars Will Smith, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Clive Owen, Benedict Wong and Ralph Brown, and written by David Benioff, Billy Ray and Darren Lemke.
