As a pretty big fan of the series, it’s sad to see that the new Sex and the City movie looks simply awful. I really had no desire to see it in theaters (wait until rentals, perhaps…), until I read this amazing review/interpretation. Going in with this mindset might make this movie bearable!
When viewed as a rom-com, Sex and the City 2 is terrible and crappy and a horrific inversion of everything the show once was. But when viewed as a science fiction film, SATC2 is subversive, stylish and chilling. Like The Island from Lost, we may never know The City’s true identity — Is it a VR computer program? A malevolent interdimensional god? Satan?
