Will Smith seems to be back on top of the world, where he rightfully deserves to be.
His latest effort, Bad Boys: Ride or Die, received good reviews and has grossed almost $300 million worldwide, and his reputation seems to have successfully survived the events of 2022. Is it a surprise that Smith endured? He’s survived far worse; after all, 2022 wasn’t the first time many doubted his career could recover. In 1999, Smith went through another difficult period, not because of a slap but because of a movie so infamous that it nearly derailed his hard-earned fame completely.
Steampunk heaven If you, like me, are a fan of the steampunk subgenre, then Wild Wild West is the perfect movie for you. Steampunk incorporates the aesthetics of classic 19th-century settings, mainly Victorian England and the Old American West, and combines them with retro-futuristic technology based on steam-powered machinery. The result is a unique subgenre that deserves far more attention from the mainstream.
The film treats its unique technology with a mix of admiration and absurdism, a self-aware approach it should’ve applied to the narrative, too. For all its flaws, Wild Wild West looks incredible: the production design is detailed, and the visual effects remarkable, creating a fascinating depiction of the American West unlike anything we’ve seen before or since. The world feels lived-in, enthralling without ever becoming inviting.
