      Nature is life and death~

      At the beginning of the film, it is said that it is a world where human civilization has reached its peak, so the whole film mainly focuses on this aspect. Of course, it is also necessary to watch beautiful women.
      First of all, it is the model of urban planning~ Dang! Then the interior design and architecture are all worthy of our professional reference~
      The plot is mainly a contradiction between two concepts - human beings should pursue a natural life; human beings have surpassed...

      common name


        1. Well, I admit that my English is not good, but I think the English of the person who translated the title is worse. It's a very good film, but it's so vulgar that I'm too embarrassed to write a Chinese title in the title.
        2. Obviously, many people think that this film has hot beauties, who are pretty, have a good figure, wear little clothes, and have high martial arts skills. Putting so many eye-catching things in a world that is both real and fantasy, it should be able to...

      Beauty plus action.

      Charlize Theron is finally back in her sexy attire as the tall, blond, slender-bodied and silky-eyed beauty finally ditches the disfigurement that got her the attention of fans and critics Styling. No need to gain 30 pounds, unkempt and disfigured to play a vulgar prostitute who turned into a serial killer, as in "The Devil," or "Destroy", which recently made her a second Oscar target. In "No Concession", she usually doesn't put on powder, and she is covered in coal dust all day long. She has a...

      How can you miss the Golden Raspberry Awards

      Did the cold-blooded prophet and the weird circular council in the camera already let you see the
                     lame plagiarism that this film has,
                     not to mention the modeled city, the monster with all four limbs is enough to disgust you                 Charlize Theron, who
                     has been in "South African Diamonds" for a while, can be regarded as the experience of "Black Pearl" Hayley Berry in "                Catwoman "                Her infamy, thanks...

    Shooting process

    Director Karion Kusama's consistent shooting style is an alternative film, and her films are very complicated when discussing issues such as human nature. Nowadays, although her transformational work is a film adapted from animation, judging from the director’s consistent guiding style, this should not be a low-quality work of dew-point fighting, but a dazzling high-tech action scene. A film that has its own core argument and at the...

    An extremely stupid movie. (Comment on "Variety") 
    "Magic Warrior" should undoubtedly be elected the most bad film of the year. ("New York Post" review) 
    It is no longer difficult to find the source of inspiration for the original animation master Peter Zhong in "Magic Warrior". The film adaptation of "Sin City" at the beginning of the year successfully restored the original comic style, and a strong cult film was born from this....

    • Claudius: We're sick. And Trevor's trying to cure us. That's all I know.

      Æon Flux: [reaches for a vial concealed in her high heels] Trevor tried to dope me. Tell me what's in this.

      Claudius: [examines the vial with a glass contraption] It's a message.

      Æon Flux: Well, what does it say?

      Claudius: You have to drink it. That's how it works.
