      Attack the Block

          Say it’s a science fiction movie. Aliens are just like a blind gorilla. It’s no science fiction. Say it’s a disaster movie. The whole movie has so few people dead, which is not too disaster. Say it’s an action movie. It's a child who is hitting, and the action is not wonderful; it is a B-level film, and the plasma is not used so much.
          A movie with a bit of difference, let's see it.
          PS: The heroine feels like a girl next door. Simon Peggy’s fat partner is playing...

      A social satire in a horrible skin

      First of all, if there is no nick in this film, it is estimated that the audience will be less than half. It can be seen that nick can also be alone now, ha ha.

      You can see a lot of British youth culture in this film, if the screenwriter doesn't write it indiscriminately. They play xbox, play fifa, and watch naruto. These are so similar to those born in the 90s in China. This film describes the marginal 90s. After all, they are all ages lacking family care and craziness. It's...

      Fighter in a bad movie

      A terrible and surprising movie, a group of teenagers beat alien chimpanzees violently. First of all, the five points of this film are terrible:
      1
           Creatures that fall on the earth from outer space will be killed by cold weapons and beaten to death by bats. .
      2 When the
           chimpanzee fell from the sky, his body was full of fire, and he didn't burn his hair. It was actually burned to death by two little kids with gasoline.
      3
          A nurse stupidly...

      Block battle-bullshit VS alien creatures

             The name of the film is actually very rustic, but the problem is not the domestic translation problem, but the film itself is such a simple name. The big reason for watching this movie is that Simon Peggy and the obscene fat man are very popular in the UK. The former "Zombie Shaun" and "Blood Men" let us treat him with his fat man. The partner has a deep impression. Although the absence of Simon Peggy in the film inevitably disappointed me, the film itself still made me feel...

      A group of gangsters team up to hunt monsters and save the earth. This is actually a mmrpg

      The theme is a good monster shape design is too simple, just a bunch of black + fluorescent teeth is a cost issue.

      This monster spawning team includes: swordsmen who attack at close range, rocket gunners and water gunners who attack at long distances, blasters, meat shields to lure the enemy to sacrifice, and magicians who can restore HP to trainee nurses who can analyze the enemy's attributes. It was these important professional roles that saved the entire block, and the...

      A small-budget sci-fi film with a thin plot but a tight rhythm. After watching it, I searched for the Wyndham Tower in Clayton Estate for more than an hour, but it turned out to be a fictitious place name. Who knows the name and address of that building? It's London Elephant & Castle's Heygate Estate? It seems that Islington also has a similar building. ....

    Movie plot

    Nursing intern Sam ( Jodie Whittaker ) decided to walk back to her apartment in a tower in South London, but halfway she was robbed by a group of children who covered their faces with masks. When a sparkling meteorite that fell from the sky and hit a parked car was distracting and upset, Sam took the opportunity to escape. Just after she left, the group was affected. It was attacked by a tiny alien creature that jumped out of the...

    Evaluation action

    The extraterrestrial special effects with low production costs and few appearances are indeed a bit silly, but the British peculiar realism street style and sense of humor make it very visible . (Timeline Review ) 
    "Attack the Block" not only shows a strong sense of creativity and joy, but more rare is that it is a "prophetic" work: the streets of London slums, robbery, drugs, hordes of teenage gangsters . The film was released in the...
