Review 4K Movie

Joe Wright frankly gives Zack Snyder - the level of eclecticism and energy of his 'Pan: Voyage to Netlandia' is comparable only to 'Forbidden Reception'. Here in the skies above London during the Second World War fighter planes fight with a flying pirate ship, a little boy pushes whole planets with the movement of his hand, and Netland is gradually sagging under the oppression of Blackbeard, in the mines of which hundreds of orphans wipe their hands in bloody calluses for the sake of particles of mysterious fairy pollen. The creators do not limit themselves in imagination and scope, and therefore the mysterious island in their hands turns into a whole flying continent with hints of Pandora, the pirate theme openly imitates in its realization of 'Pirates of the Caribbean', and debutant Levi Miller in the end and gives his personal teenage Neo.

Of course, Wright's film looks like the proverbial roller coaster, in which the carriages almost go off the rails at the next reckless somersault, risking to pull the mind of the phalomorphizing viewer. However, the new variation of the flying boy's adventures should not be perceived as a large-scale attraction, because the script by Jason Fuchs is trying hard to look a little deeper than another fantasy adventure in search of a lost dream. It's the second blockbuster in a year (after 'Future Earth') that decides to break the ceiling of a certain semantic minimum, and unlike the Disney machinations, Wright's movie easily manages the task at hand. The allusions to the afterlife that have long haunted the story of a boy who never grows up have probably never been stronger. The villain Blackbeard, played by the infernal Hugh Jackman, explicitly draws parallels between life in Netland and existence on the other side, in a never-ending nightmare from which you can never return to reality. Of course, the creators do not dare to make a full mystical interpretation of the story, and the bomb falling on the orphanage only makes changes in the interiors, but obvious steps are still made. Joe Wright does not shy away from constantly reminding about the very fact of existence of the phenomenon of death, though it never comes to its full-fledged demonstration on the screen. The dying in this world are scattered with a cloud of colored paint, which, if we forget about the observance of the children's rating, serves only as another hint at the incorporeality of the actors and their impossibility to return to a material life limited in its possibilities.

'Pan' keeps up with the times, obsequiously trying to reinterpret the well-known story to the maximum, but the narrative limping on both feet does not allow to create a full-fledged stable construct on the screen. The gaping plot holes in some places and Hook's story (whose identity the viewer never learns anything about) could have been a disservice to such an ambitious journey, but the dynamism and inventive staging take their toll. Wright's movie is like one continuous optical illusion, created by superimposing elements from completely different worlds on top of each other. The combinatorics of various fantasy components dominate the fragile narrative framework, bending it under itself with a riot of motley colors and no less motley characters. But when huge flying sailing ships fight across the screen, the beautiful Rooney Mara like Jack Sparrow jumps on the ship's rails, and the multiplied Cara Delevingne expels a giant crocodile with electric shocks, trifles like script flaws simply have no place in the cumulative impression of this immersion in a kaleidoscope of non-stop shifting dreams, which in its gustiness of constantly arising emotional impulses easily gives a head start to any Disney simulacrum.
