A slick but shallow adaptation of Ray Bradbury's classic dystopian tale that replaces the nuance with on-the-nose commentary about Trumpian politics. For a HBO movie, it looks nice. Michael Shannon is good casting as the villain. It seems to have good intentions but its routine revolutionary rhetoric is a poor substitute for the imaginative yet eerily plausible future that Bradbury created.
