No reason to go anywhere near the production / distribution history of this film, as it takes away from the fact that it's worthy of your time.
A good, and interesting film, seemingly afraid of its own turf and the technical issues at hand, it comes across with layers of CG fx and
digital technical wizardry and cutting to hold the audience in place. And it does it pretty well.
Edison (he who patented the sprocket hole, and attempted to hold the fledgling motion picture industry to himself, and apparently, not a very nice guy), Westinghouse and Tesla in a race to light up the earth, at the top of the world.
Universal's Blu-ray is the Director's Cut, which is seemingly the only one available.
Shot with an Alexa XT, using Panavision optics, and finished in 2k, allows for a gorgeous Blu-ray.
Alfonso Gomez-Rejon directed.
