three hours to read Principal Gu's new movie " Tomorrow's War " twice. Not to mention how the plot is, it's very moving.
, the filmmakers we know well, have been pushing out of their comfort zone. The development of Chinese science fiction films is inseparable from the unremitting exploration and experimentation of filmmakers. It also requires more filmmakers to have the courage to pursue their dreams, so that Chinese science fiction films dare to be hard-core "bright swords". The background of the story of
is that in the future world, high-tech wars and excessive industrial development have caused global poisonous gas, which has greatly polluted the surface of the earth. Internal purification of poison gas. However, the meteorite fell from the sky and brought the creature "Pandora", which is very aggressive but can purify poisonous gas. Human scientists hope that by modifying Pandora's genes, its aggressiveness will disappear and only the poisonous gas will be purified. This extremely thrilling task was handed over to the Air Force team of Gu Tianle , and there was still a "life and death battle" between the two factions. As the mission unfolded, the air battleship "Giant Whale", the escort aircraft "Flying Fish", the mechanical beast "Qianqi", and the heavy killer "Xingtian" appeared one by one. More than 1,700 special effects shots such as "The Battle of Xingtian" make the main scene of the big scene full of enjoyment, the scale is grand, and the technical means are superb. It can be said that "Tomorrow's War" shows the futuristic sense of science fiction films and brings a shocking viewing experience to the audience. As the first work of local mecha sci-fi, "Tomorrow's War" is remarkable in terms of special effects and action design. Especially in the mecha sci-fi elements and special effects, the main creator insists that most of the content is produced by Chinese companies, showing the industry standard of the local film industrialization . There is a 48-second 360-degree special effect in the film, which took 576 days to complete. This ultimate pursuit of technological effects is an aspect of the ingenuity of Chinese hardcore sci-fi films. What is even more gratifying is that many action scenes in "Tomorrow's War", including the battle between mechas, gradually got rid of the stereotyped collision of steel and iron bones, and integrated into the Zen-like oriental martial arts. The cold big man with an exposed sense of strength also became reserved and restrained.
On the subject matter, on the performance of the actors, on the special effects of the film, this movie can be said to be remarkable, Louis Koo, Lau Ching Wan , Zhang Jiahui, Carina Lau , Jiang Haowen , Xie Junhao , these are all big names . Although "War of Tomorrow" brings a new feeling to the audience visually, there is still some gap from the classic, especially in terms of the plot is slightly thin.
and the average age of 's characters is in their 40s, and they are basically veteran Hong Kong stars. I have a good impression of Louis Koo, Liu Qingyun, and Xie Junhao. But I have to say that the actors are really old. Although their acting skills are superb, they always lack passion and vitality.
The biggest problem with this movie I think is that is flat .
is so bland.
1 You know the villain from the beginning, there is no suspense, and there is no reversal in the end. The main reason is that there are only seven or eight people who shoot and shoot, and there is no way to reverse it. The general plot of this movie can be understood in five or six minutes after watching it.
2 Characters lack charisma and are fascinated. You can find a lot of characters that are homogenous to this film after watching a few movies.
Carina Lau's character is equivalent to a tool person and a vase, but as a vase, she is still too old to be amazing. Wu Qian As a young woman, she can only say that she really lost a lot of spiritual energy after giving birth, and she also has a relatively dull appearance. All in all, female characters lack sex appeal.
As a villain lover, I attach great importance to the portrayal of villains in movies. The villain of this movie believes that although the whole process is very tight, his behavioral logic and strategy are really naive and lack pattern.
3 The storyline is slightly thin, and there are basically no side stories. This movie can only be said to tell a story in a straightforward manner.
4 As a technology film, it lacks imagination, persuasion, and logic.The fulcrum of the series can't stand, the whole story has a strange sense of absurdity, and you can't really believe that there is such a thing after watching the whole film. I feel that this kind of unstoppable sci-fi film still has to use unfamiliar languages to create a sense of distance. To describe it in Chinese, which we are most familiar with, feels like talking nonsense to you in a serious manner.
5 None of the main characters died. I could have raised the heroic feelings of giving one's life to death, but in a blink of an eye, that person jumped out again and lived well. I still think a proper sacrifice helps to sublimate the theme.
6 The mutant plants that need to be processed are translated into Pandora, which is really dramatic and funny. I'd rather you read English, pandora.
However, this film is also a sincere work in the same kind of film, which fully represents the level of the domestic hardcore special effects industry.
is also a pioneering work in the theme of "learning to walk before learning to run" in the theme of domestic mecha.
Gu principal is also full of sincerity. Although it is not so perfect, it also shows us a major breakthrough in our country's film and television industry.
, a "Chinese style" mecha sci-fi film, will definitely open a new chapter for my country's sci-fi films.
