      selfish and selfless

      Well, the title of this time has nothing to do with movie reviews. I'm not good at naming names.
      I really like this kind of big production, but despite the existence of this buff, I'm still very dissatisfied with this movie. First of all, it's the music. Who really deserves it? The music is so bad, especially the music of the war scenes, it is completely out of harmony. It does not require war music to be magnificent, but it is too mismatched. It sounds very abrupt. I think this is a very...

      This is a sci-fi suspense movie

      The translation of this Chinese title is really misleading to the audience. The English meaning is the name of the hero, John' Carter, which translates into Alien Battlefield. It is true that most of the scenes in the film are set on Mars, but the focus of the story is actually the hero. The pursuit of a love. At the end, there is still a bit of suspense. Although the front is about the bizarre story of the male protagonist on Mars, the highlight of the whole movie is in the end.

      Overall performance is average

      The movie that was originally scheduled to be watched on Sunday was postponed to Tuesday. There are too many things, sorry . But tonight's performance in the Outer Star Wars is just so-so. It's a waste of a good mood. It's better to watch "Marry a 100% Man" or "Sister Peach", or else it should be a literary fan now.
       
          Not much to say, let’s talk about your own feelings after watching:

      Alien Battlefield John Carter

      Saw the trailer. I was shocked by the appearance of the white ape. But think about it later. Actually it's big. Didn't do it arrogantly. speak up. I think King Kong is a little more domineering than this white ape.
          There is nothing special about the plot of the movie. Maybe this kind of film is not the kind of highlight? amount. Looking forward to the appearance of the white ape for a long time. It's actually that little bit. I don't know if the director is afraid that the filming of...

      Redemption of life in different countries

      Although there is a suspicion of time-travel drama, but the imagination is very rich, I did not waste my time tonight. Completing the unfinished part of life in a different space is more than just a difference in the kingdom.
      I have always liked Spielberg's imagination, and the imagination of this film is not bad. Different space, different country. Of course, if compared with traditional Chinese time-travel dramas, the essence is the same, and people's emotions continue to be interpreted...

    Fashion Design

    When costume designer Mayes C. Rubeo designed costumes for "Alien Battlefield", the biggest source of inspiration was director Andrew Stanton. She said that Andrew's imagination came from Mars! It was as if he had been to Mars, and they had to try to record all the details in his mind.
    Working for a fantasy film also gave Mayes great creative freedom. He wants to reflect the sense of antiquity in science fiction, it must be a strange...

    Role conception

    With costumes, the responsibility of making characters a reality falls on the directors and actors. Of course, they also need the help of visual effects masters and makeup magicians to inject personality and characteristics into the characters. For the male and female protagonists Taylor Kitsch and Lynn Collins, they appear in human form on the screen, so they can perform directly; but they involve a lot of labor.
    For those actors who...

    Chinese Media

    Its plot is too earthy-a veteran who has lost his home on the earth "travels" to an alien and sharply increases his supernatural power to win the beauty of the country. Simple and rude inspirational stories, but also with a little bit of obscene taste, even the Qing Chuan Opera is more ups and downs than it.
    Whether motion capture, facial expression capture or animal capture, "Alien Battlefield" is skillfully used. The performance of...

    Movie quotes

    • John Carter: [sees Woola] Easy. Nice monster dog.

    • Kantos Kan: Ah, Zodanga, where the men are as limited as the menu and woman are as hard as the beds.

    • Kantos Kan: My name is Kantos Kan. I serve Princess Dejah.

      John Carter: Dejah?

      Kantos Kan: Uh-huh. From what she tells me, you can get us over... there.

      [he points to Sab Than's palace]

      John Carter: She said I could make that?

      Kantos Kan: We could always surrender. Is that what you do on Jarsoom?

      [John grabs a hold of Kantos and leaps into the air far enough to grab the palace's stone ledge and tumble into Dejah's bridal suite]
