The Hyperions is a family dramedy with a superhero background. Cary Elwes is good and there are a few funny moments, but I wasn't really moved by the main point or emotional moments of the film.
You just don't get to know the characters enough to really feel anything and the most pivotal moment and conversation between the Professor and his estranged daughter all happens through facial expressions. Ok, we get that her power is reading minds but you decided to keep the audience guessing what he told her other than saying 'I love you'? I think the movie is filmed in a creative way that reminds me of Wes Anderson, but the script is lacking in cohesiveness and interesting characters other than the Professor which I feel is owed more to Cary Elwes talent than the script.
I'm a subscriber to the Daily Wire and really respect what they are doing by trying to make great movies without a woke agenda. However, it would be a lie to say any of them so far have been more than average.
