The Dark Tower (2017)
Spyro Rating: 6,8 /10 as "needs remake"
Director: Nikolaj Arcel
Stars: Matthew McConaughey, Tom Taylor, Idris Elba, Katheryn Winnick
The Dark Tower (2017) film is a canon sequel to the well known Stephen King's novels. For people like me who haven't read any related book, the movie made some sense overall. However, as with every movie inspired by Stephen King's books, there are few plot holes that may be explained only in books or may not be explained at all.
A young boy is having the same nightmares all over. While asleep he witness apocalyptic events from another dimension and the scary figure of Matthew McConaughey is there. Every morning he wakes up, draws what happened, his mother gets worried and sends him to shrinks. No surprise, it turns that those nightmares are more than just some bad dreams.
Watching this film I understood why book fans were disappointed. The ideas that came from source material are solid and this movie could have done better with those ideas. As for the future, there are sequel plans for both another movie and in addition a series so we may see something more one day.
