In 2016, Ang Lee tried high frame rate stereo vision technology for the first time in "Billy Lynn's Midfield War", and used the same method in this science fiction action thriller to make the picture clearer . If viewed in HFR 3D format, the impact of the film is obvious from the beginning. We can not only see Henry Brogan, a special forces assassin, played by Will Smith, climbing up a grassy mountain on an express train to assassinate his target. The degree of visual detail, and the clarity and conciseness of the film is also surprising, although some people may not be so fascinated by the effect of the film.
In any case, there is no doubt that the most shocking technical achievement is Smith's digital de-old technology, which allows the 51-year-old actor to play a role 25 years younger than him. The character's name is Junior, and it is a clone created by the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) agent Clay Varis (Clive Owen) under the morally questionable "Gemini Project."
The theme of "Gemini Killer" has been in preparation since the 1990s. Harrison Ford, Clint Eastwood and Sean Connery have all been like this until Will Smith Just become the protagonist. Thanks to the contribution of Weta Digital, Ang Lee completed the script for the director Tony Scott (it is said: This is due to three famous Hollywood veterans, including the author of "Game of Thrones" David Beni Off and "The Hunger Games" Billy Ray).
is as attractive as the idea of aging killers. The goal of aging killers is to clone themselves. The concept itself is flawed. In fact, it does not require a genius to realize that just because two people have the same DNA means they will have The same ability. If the movie itself is just a popcorn blockbuster, this logical gap is easy to be overlooked; unfortunately, the book itself is also a thriller by a thinker, telling the story of the long-standing innate and acquired Contention. In fact, Brogan did not kill the opponent directly, but decided to play a cat and mouse game with Junior. He thought that if Junior knew his true origin, he might become another person.
Why Brogan has a good impression of his clones? In the movie, or even at the end of the film, there is no satisfactory explanation, except for Smith and Smith in the storyline, and then let the two of them fight against Owen. Resident villain. However, because Irving is not an action star, the final outcome is disappointing, leaving only two battles involving willpower to attract your attention.
Fortunately, due to Li Ang’s skillful display power, their performance was quite wonderful. One of them took place on a picturesque street in Colombia, spreading along the roof, and finally ended with a dazzling motorcycle chase; One happened in the dark catacombs of Budapest. Two men kicked and beat each other violently until one almost drowned the other.
Even so, these shots are not enough to compensate for the complete inertia of the rest of the film, which is full of crappy banter and a lot of highlight. Even though Mary Elizabeth Winstead is the partner of a rogue dragging DIA agent and the benevolent pilot of Huang Benedict, there is hardly any fun in their team dynamics. Not only is the high degree of scientific suspicion, the whole story itself is frustratingly thin. There is only the simplest excuse to explain why they must go from Colombia to Hungary before returning to Georgia, and even how they can borrow a Gulfstream aircraft to fly from one country to another. one country.
In fact, in two hours, you will find it very boring, because there is almost no story to speak of except for the actions. Ang Lee's attempt was not so much because Smith didn't try his best to express his two aspects, but because the character development here is so straightforward or even almost without problems. Whether it is intentional or not, this movie almost revolves around these five characters, which can't be an excuse for being completely lazy in the plot and characters.
Although we are happy to accept Lee Ang's new technology, "Gemini Killer" is ultimately a high-concept failure. As we said, this premise itself is flawedYes, the rest of the movie didn't help itself because it thought it was smarter than it really is. Worse, it didn't even try to be credible, which is irreparable to Smith's charm and Lee's filmmaking originality.
HFR Realism and digital forgery, having two Smiths in the same movie may sound attractive, but you will be a little disappointed after watching it.
