Никола Тесла was Serbian, so I expected the actor that played him to speak that language but oh, surprise, he speaks ... English. Why is Nikola Tesla singing _"Everybody Wants to Rule the World"_ by Tears for Fears? This movie is insulting to Tesla, and I'm sure he is turning in his grave.

An atypical biography that incorporates anachronisms (Google, mobile phones ...) that introduce some of the inventions developed years later from Tesla's research. It is a risky bet, sometimes confusing, but which achieves a sense of unreality that fits perfectly into that world of materialized dreams. It is the story of a frustrated creator, which is, also for the viewers, frustrating.

There's little reason to try and beat Bowies Tesla (Christopher Nolans "The Prestige" 2006) but Ethan Hawke doesn't even try. I expected better from him. This was either made by the hands of a depressed director or an unqualified producer -- or an AI deepfake movie making program. It feels like somewhere within the tesla coil of this film production schedule a major aspect got gutted from an original version and boiled down, like a transylvanian bat, to this tortured piece of crap. Think Welsch Rabbit in a Duck Soup.

According to this movie, Thomas Edison (MacLachlan) and Nikola Tesla (Ethan Hawke) were like Mozart and Salieri if Mozart and Salieri had been anything like they are portrayed in Amadeus – but then Tesla has as tenuous a hold on reality as Amadeus does, sans all the things that make Milos Forman's More
