war mecha, future sci-fi...
Speaking of these two words, it seems that only Hollywood sci-fi blockbusters such as "Pacific Rim" have nothing to do with domestic movies, especially Hong Kong movies.
But the model worker Gu Tianle , invested 450 million, spent five years of hard work to polish + make special effects, and finally fulfilled his childhood mecha dream.
also single-handedly created the first mecha cool film in Chinese, filling the blank area of domestic sci-fi blockbusters.
...
The above is the promotion point of the movie " Tomorrow's War ".
01
The plot is simple.
The future world is destroyed by war ecology, and the earth's air is full of toxins. The commander played by Zhang Jiahui created a "sky screen" to ensure the environment of the residential area.
As a result, a meteorite that hit the earth brought the alien creature "Pandora". On the one hand, it grows in water and squeezes the living space of human beings; on the other hand, it has the effect of purifying air toxins.
The air combat unit headed by Louis Koo decided to risk their lives to transform Pandora's genes with drugs, otherwise they would have to implement plan 2: use bombs to kill Pandora, but before the people were evacuated, 160,000 people would die.
However, their actions were blocked everywhere, and they were even chased by military robots. A bigger conspiracy behind them gradually surfaced...
This movie can be summed up in one sentence: is a Hong Kong-style police and gangster film dressed in sci-fi mecha.
is still in the 80s and 90s.
The plot is very weak, and the whole chapter is full of intensive slaps.
People fight, people fight robots, people fight aliens.
looks dizzy.
finally turned into brotherhood, catching ghosts and so on.
mecha suits are good, and the monsters are also good. But some places obviously look fake, a bit like game CG.
doesn't sound good, it has a sense of sight.
In addition, the ending song is actually "Reverse War", which is very in line with the temperament of this film.
is pure, earthy and secondary.
02
The last easter egg seems to want to have the rhythm of the second part.
even going to space.
Gu Tianle said that it has been his ten-year dream to use his team to complete a Chinese science fiction film.
For this reason, he was reluctant to rest and ran ten movie theaters in one night; clumsily tried live broadcasts and connected with Internet celebrities; "rubbing" Awards came on stage to promote the movie...
can now thisAs a result, still seems to have some regrets.
"Tomorrow's War" has been released for more than a month, and the box office is only more than 600 million, and the Douban score is only 6.4 points.
's investment of 450 million is doomed to lose everything.
The intensive action scenes and special effects bombing cannot cover up the clichés and childishness of the plot and themes.
In particular, we already have a gem like " Wandering Earth " before.
If you can't make innovations and changes. It's really hard to say whether
has a second part.
03
We know that Guzi really tried his best.
But trying really doesn't mean doing well.
may also be a gap between industrial level and capital.
For so many years, Gu Tianle covered Hope Primary School, helped the bottom actors in Hong Kong, participated in many bad films and set up special effects companies to transfuse blood for Hong Kong movies.
It can be said that many people go to the movie theater because of their personal favorability.
But the ambivalence that the audience both wants to refund money and hope he makes money, maybe Gu Tianle has this ability.
I still hope that the male god can learn a lesson and do better next time.
After all, creating value for others can bring value to yourself.
will always support him.
As for this movie ticket, rounded up and donated money to build a school for him.
