Megalopolis
If you can't see a better future, build one.
In a futuristic New York known as New Rome, visionary architect Cesar Catilina dreams of building "Megalopolis," a utopian city that redefines society’s limits. Opposing him is the corrupt Mayor Franklyn Cicero, who clings to power and profit. Between them stands Julia, the mayor’s daughter, whose love for Cesar forces her to choose between loyalty, ambition, and the fate of humanity.

But the new mayor resists these creative plans because he’s content with the way things are (Giancarlo Esposito). As such, the mayor’s not happy when hi…

Honestly, there are no redeeming qualities to this film. The story itself is barely interesting, the over the top acting is just ridiculous, the visuals are amateurish (honestly, I have seen film students produce better stuff)
