The Dark tower is a sci-fi, fantasy adventure based on series of epic novels by stepen king. The movie is frequently violence.
Movie surrounded by lazy dialogue and half-baked visual effect. Noisy, junky and without any kind of mood or rhythm, the dark tower connects somewhat to king’s shining universe. But this is a far from kubrick as a movie can get.
Director Nikolaj Arcel tries to cover up his shaky footage, sloppy editing, and cheap-looking monsters with plenty of darkness, but the ruse is all too obvious.
On the other hand, as Roland the gunslinger, Elba is the only cool thing in the movie. So it’s a crying shame that he couldn’t have been involved with something more imaginative.
