Once upon a time, the book “The Da Vinci Code” looked innovative, and its adaptation was impressive – an action based on a chain of historical mysteries, references to many historical personalities and events, and all this was tied into a completely unique concept. Then it seemed to me that this can shoot only once, but the continuation of "Angels and Demons" also shot, the viewer without question took a ticket to the second round of the attraction. But with the third part, it immediately became clear that the concept had outlived itself. The same professor with built-in Google in his head, but without any physical training, gets involved in another awesome story, runs under bullets like James Bond, clicks riddles one by one faster than the viewer has time to comprehend the question itself, again he has a charming companion, again you need to climb temples, like in Assassin’s Creed, to find a powerful weapon ... You can't tell the same joke all the time.
Yes, the film has a good director, who managed to powder all assumptions and repetitions with an external gloss. As a result, you can even watch the film ... but it has as many as 5 opposing sides, several McGuffins, a whole bunch of flippers, and by the end the viewer does not understand who is for whom, where the characters know a lot of information, how they find each other, etc. The characters are helped by pianos in the bushes: what would the professor do next if the museum did not accidentally run into a chatty worker?
But the most wacky part of the film is that the villain didn’t have to hide the virus in a historical location at all, then be complacent when released, weave a system of riddles for his girlfriend to solve. He could just release the virus anywhere, in any unhistoric and ugly remote village, anytime.
The only thing I really liked was that the feeling of a person in a state of concussion was very well conveyed at the beginning.
