How to fight someone who knows each of your movements because he is you ? It is the plot of Gemini Man the new science-fiction film of Ang Lee which is older Will Smith against the youngest Will Smith. Using sophisticated visual effects of disintegration, Lee is able to pit the current Smith against himself, de-age to his youth. But how effective is it? See for yourself: The first trailer of Gemini Man awaits you below.

Gemini Man

In the old days, if you wanted a movie that features young and old versions of a character, Either you used many makeup effects, or you chose different actors. But with the advancement of technology, we have reached a point where digital effects can be used to realistically reduce the age of performers. Marvel has been doing this for years and masters the technique with the Captain Marvel starring the highly convinced aged Samuel L. Jackson. Later this year, Martin Scorsese will use similar effects to shift Robert De Niro and Al Pacino in the movie Netflix The Irishman . There is also Gemini Man of Ang Lee who numerically demolishes Will Smith

In Gemini Man Smith interprets Henry Brogen, an aging badbadin who is suddenly confronted with his most young cloner. The clone, nicknamed Junior, tries to kill him, a fact complicated by the fact that Junior can predict every act of Henry. In terms of narratives, it is difficult to make comparisons between Gemini Man and Rian Johnson's Looper in which badbadin Bruce Willis had to deal with a younger version of himself. But Johnson's film was about time travel, while Gemini Man introduces cloning into the mix. In addition to Will Smith and Will Smith, Gemini Man stars Mary Elizabeth Winstead Benedict Wong and Clive Owen .

. Despite some obstacles here and there, Ang Lee is an excellent filmmaker and I am very intrigued by what he does with all this. If the filmmaker can bring his unique voice to this kind of sci-fi thriller, we could be delighted. I am also interested in seeing Will Smith at the front and center. Whatever you think of his recent career choices, it's hard to deny that Smith is a true movie star, the kind who can command on screen if he has the right material to work with. Hoping this is the case of Gemini Man . Although I feel that this is the kind of movie where the work on special effects is the real star.

Gemini Man opens on on October 11, 2019 .
