Description

The Current War: Director's Cut is the epic story of the cutthroat competition that literally lit up the modern world. Benedict Cumberbatch is Thomas Edison, the celebrity inventor on the verge of bringing electricity to Manhattan with his new DC technology. On the eve of triumph, his plans are upended by charismatic businessman George Westinghouse (Michael Shannon), who believes he and his partner, Nikolai Tesla (Nicholas Hoult), have a superior idea for how to rapidly electrify America: with AC current. As Edison and Westinghouse grapple for who will power the nation, they spark one of the first and greatest corporate feuds in American history.

    Really enjoyed this one as a sleeper hit when it came out at the theater. Didnt have any high expectations and really enjoyed it! Great acting and fun camera work.

    Now I know what a bookworm feels like when Hollywood ruins their favorite story. A fascinating time in American history is overshadowed by the incredibly strange directing. Extremely hard to follow. Every scene feels like a race to the next one. It’s like reading a book but only reading the first two pages of a chapter then skipping to the next one. I’m a bit of a history buff and love learning about electricity but I’d rather hop on YouTube instead of finishing this movie. Two stars for the actors and backstory.

    Overall it was a good movie to kill time watching but to be honest I was mostly fascinated with the score of the movie. I seriously like the soundtrack of this movie very much. If they Apple released the movie soundtrack I would definitely buy it for sure.

    This is a good movie, but it feels a little rushed. This could’ve easily been a 2 to 3 hour movie. A five to ten part miniseries would’ve been even better. The subject matter is utterly fascinating.
  • Красивый фильм!

    Очень красивый и содержательный фильм, каждая сцена создана красиво и дорого, двух часов для такого шедевра очень мало, браво режиссеру, актеры отработали на высшую оценку, фильм шикарен!!!

    The highest quality movie on the topic of the high stakes power grab to deliver the first electric current to America - all star cast, sets, costumes and more. My teens loved it. Well done.
