"
Everything Everywhere All At Once, a sci-fi action comedy, manages the
surprising feat of paying homage to martial arts cinema classics while also
delivering a strange and completely fresh, genre-bending film.
Written and directed by Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert (collectively known as
“the Daniels”),
Everything Everywhere All At Once is a delirious adventure
blending a heartwarming examination of personal and family crisis with a wild
sci-fi storyline, and some of the most amusingly bizarre fight scenes to ever
grace the screen.
Taking inspiration from Jackie Chan’s kung fu comedies, the film’s fight scenes
combine fast, free-flowing martial arts with slapstick humour.
The Daniels have acknowledged the film was originally conceived of as a vehicle
for Chan. However, after seizing upon the idea of flipping the gender of its
unlikely hero, the directors decided to hand the reins to Michelle Yeoh, who
has enjoyed a resurgence in popularity after starring in two recent hits,
Crazy Rich Asians and
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings."
And
Star Trek: Discovery!
