At the same time, it also allowed the media and film critics to give Out of unanimous praise.
has fans calling out "This is a very spectacular epic" and "one of the best science fiction films ever. It will take you into a visually stunning world, and the film is very deep." Screenrant said "Alita is a fascinating feat in movie history"; "Empire" magazine praised "the action scene is very shocking"; Polygon commented ""Alita: Battle Angel" is the first great and successful live-action comic. "Changing the movie"; Comicbook said, "Road Director and Weta team put unique, female-led action scenes on the big screen, comparable to a visual feast"; Slashfilm also praised: "Cameron’s mark is everywhere , Worth watching 3D"; Screencrush directly commented on the film "this is a Cameron movie." The wide acclaim of
media critics and fans has once again verified the law of film special effects without borders, and good movies will be favored by the public no matter when and where. Hollywood’s top technology god James Cameron is a benchmark that can be applied everywhere, whether it is "Terminator" 30 years ago, "Titanic" 20 years ago, or 10 years ago "Avatar" has always been ahead of his peers by an era, and is always a lonely master on the big screen.
This time, "Alita: Battle Angel" still shows who is fighting with the domineering, behind the domineering, there is the magnificent world view provided by the original Japanese comic "Gunmen", as well as the number of Kashen and Weta Studios. Ten years of performance, as well as the extraordinary work of the genius director Rodriguez, joined forces, and in one battle, it became the battle angel Alita who is invincible in the special effects arena. Does
really have no opponents? How strong is the fighting angel in a game?
So, James Camron has been immersed in building for many years, and how strong is the fighting angel who was on the same desk with the "Avatar" series, in fact, through a simple comparison Can draw conclusions.
takes the new benchmark of superhero movies "Aquaman" as a comparison. The DC masterpiece directed by Wen Ziren uses real shots and green cloth special effects to create a turbulent underwater world. A series of shrimp soldiers and crabs led by Aquaman fights It looks very fierce, because many glittering images are jokingly called every frame of money by netizens. But if you want to observe the details, you can see that there is still a sense of model in the picture. The visual scene is very large, but the presentation of details is lacking, and there is no new technology. It can be seen that stacking money is not the highest level of visual effects.
Looking at the vision of "Alita: Battle Angel", the picture is more layered, depth of field and composition, eachThe texture of the details is not critical. Although the heroine Alita uses motion capture technology to perform, her eyes are more brilliant than real people. According to the data, you can feel how precious this technology is. With just one hair item, more than 130,000 hairs, 2,000 eyebrows, 480 eyelashes, and nearly 500,000 girls’ exclusive "peach-colored fluffs" on the face and ears were made. ".
These are not listed by copying and pasting, but the pore growth technology developed by the engineers of Weta Studio, which is placed in each pore separately, no one is the same, and has more personality than real hair.
After reading the hair, look at the eyes again. Both the eyes of Neptune and the eyes of the virtual characters in "Aquaman" are the same as the previous movies. They are barely enough to see, not worthy of careful examination, but Alita's eyes are flowing. A kind of blue-wave clarity, each eye is said to be composed of 9 million individual pixels, no wonder it is so vivid. In addition to the strongest performance capture in history,
uses the teeth and gums of actor Rosa Salazar to make molds to build models, forming a flesh and blood image from the inside from bones, muscles, and fats. Delicate to the looming muscles and blood vessels under the skin, the texture and light transmittance on the fingertips, and the crystal structure in the eyeballs, it truly realizes the crystal clear look. Compared with "Avatar", it is not too much, and the golden light is rough. Compared with Han Haiwang, it is more judgmental.
Even the underwater play that should belong to "Aquaman", "Alita: Battle Angel" does not show any weakness. The production team tried for the first time to simulate the real state of hair and clothes after soaking in water, allowing divers to hold their breath in the water In 8 minutes, the scene of Alita falling into the water is simulated in all directions. The blurred light underwater, the soaked hair, and the immersion of the characters can withstand the research of a magnifying glass and even a microscope.
Card God and the director and Weta insist on spending huge sums of money to keep improving and polishing the special effects. Only by restoring all the details from the inside to the outside, will the final effect be more realistic, just blindly imitating the outer layer. Is untrue, because the outer layer's performance is most fundamentally due to changes in the internal structure. The highest level of special effects of
is to surpass reality and imagination.
If the special effects of Marvel and DC’s superhero movies are close to reality, then Cameron’s "Alita: Battle Angel" has surpassed reality. The mission of the film should not be to just restore the reality, but to challenge the limits of vision, challenge the peak of imagination, and use the best pictures to let the audience get shocks and shocks that cannot be felt in the real world.
is not an exaggeration to say that at this point, Cameron is a true master of the generation. His movies can create spectacles that ordinary people can't imagine every time. Only by letting colleagues chase for more than ten years can they achieve similar results.
has no suspense, "Alita: Battle Angel" has become a monument to Cameron. Although the director of the film is Rodriguez, Cameron has been writing the initial script since 2005 and building the whole The world view, all technical problems are overcome one by one, and the latter will complete the final story.
What the special effects of future movies will look like, we have no way of knowing, as far as it is now, James Cameron and "Alita: Battle Angel" represent the highest level of special effects at the moment, at least before the arrival of "Avatar 2". The status should be something no one can shake. This work is worth seeing!
