Sexual first attempt. As of September 6, the total box office has reached 650 million yuan, and it has entered the top five of the summer movie box office.
From the overall point of view, the action pictures, special effects scenes and novel types of mecha are quite interesting, especially the brotherhood and the struggle to fight until the last moment, which captured the hearts of the audience. 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. poison gas. However, a meteorite fell from the sky and brought a very aggressive creature "Pandora" that 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 incomparably thrilling task was handed over to Gu Tianle's Air Force team, and there was still a "dark battle of life and death" 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 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. 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. In the
film, when Gu Tianle and Liu Qingyun showed their faces in the mecha, they still moved the audience. These filmmakers, as we know them, have been breaking 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".
