The Dark Tower (2017)
Directed by Nikolaj
Arcel this film based on the Stephen King series of the same name
stars Idris Elba, Matthew McConaughey and Tom Taylor. A young boy
from New York has strange dreams about other worlds and finds his
dreams of the dark tower to be true.
As a stand alone
effort this is an average watch that never really capitalises on it's
interesting setting, far too many things are left unexplained for the
audience to ever really connect with the film. Where this film will
probably draw the most ire is in how far it strays from it's source
material, which seems to be a really long way. In the end this is
some what of a disappointment for both new comers and book readers,
no doubt we will see another adaptation in the not too distant
future.
2/5
