Snyder doesn’t miss a beat once the tale spins down to Earth.
As Jor-El ( Russell Crowe) lays it all out about the planet’s road to ruin, its failed intergalactic colonization efforts and his discovery of a planet to which he can send his little son, we’re witness to both large-scale calamity and the intimate treachery of the rebellious General Zod (a ferocious Michael Shannon), whose murderous campaign gets him packed off to the deep space equivalent of Siberia.
Visually and rhythmically, however, Snyder has gone his own way, summoning up memories of Dune in the sculpted architectural look of Krypton, echoing Jesus by underlining the sacrifice Clark Kent is called upon to make for the good of mankind, and simply by hardly letting five minutes go by without inventing some new excuse for a staggering action scene - any one of which undoubtedly cost more than the combined budgets of all of this year’s Sundance competition lineup.Įven the inevitably expository first 18 minutes on Krypton are spiked with an amazing amount of visual stimulation.
