The Take
No, Megalopolis is not worth watching. It earns a 52 Slop Score as pure auteur ego that outran its own script.
Coppola gets the single voice he wanted and still delivers pretension bloat plus plot in shambles.
The Verdict
Megalopolis lands at 52 slop. The practical ambition is real but the script never shows up.
Skip it. Watch Oppenheimer instead — 3 hours of actual adult moral weight. Slop Score: 52.
