      Very good old movie!

      The first time I watched this film, I remember it was when I was in elementary school, around 86 years ago! At that time, the definition of black and white TV was even more terrible! The screen was full of snowflakes (received wirelessly) just like that, and I was still deeply shocked by the scene, especially when I seized the parachute at the beginning and 007 shot into space at the back. Young people who have been influenced by all kinds of big-scene movies may feel dismissive after watching...

      [Series Completion Project] "007 Eleven: Space City"

      "Space City" is the largest 007 movie invested so far, even surpassing the total of the first to sixth. The huge investment naturally brings good quality, at least as can be seen from the set-up and ostentation of the film. The two-minute skydiving shot of a single film only took five weeks.

      Since the last episode of "Underwater City", the 007 series has a strong sci-fi flavor, and this episode is even worse. From Venice to Rio, from the earth to the space, "Bond" has been tossing, if...

      DL

      Roger Moore's smirk from time to time makes it difficult for me to associate him with 007. It's true that I'm getting older and it's not suitable for "youth drama". The villain Drax acted too bluntly, almost all of the film was carrying his little hands, pretending to be a gentleman. In addition, the fighting scenes are indeed worse, and a Hong Kong master can be upgraded to several levels.
      But the story is indeed a good story, imaginative and compact at the same time. It's time for a...

      The best and worst Bond space city

      After watching the whole film, my feelings about this film are as follows:

      1. As a 007 movie with the highest box office in the past, this film contains a lot of gimmicks and high-quality action scenes, such as space battle, the return of the big steel teeth, etc., except for this part, the actual story told is lackluster. The villain’s big boss built such a large base in space, and no one on earth knows that the second degree of the plot cannot be explained by a sentence in the movie...

      Finished watching "007 11: Space City"

      Similar to the previous "Underwater City", "Space City" is superior in terms of imagination, and "Underwater City" is even more outstanding in terms of plot.

      To some extent, it can be said that "Space City" is the most sci-fi feature of the "007" series. The black technology in the previous series was at best the small black technology given to Bond by the Q branch and from other organizations. "Space City" was a fictitious manned space shuttle and space shuttle under the...

      I'm just saying that you often don't remember that the 007 series is actually a science fiction movie. It turns out that the big steel tooth is in this...

      007 in this episode feels like taking one step at a time, not very exciting. The big boss actually has countless opportunities to kill 007, but he didn't even do it and let him turn against a bad guy. However, the special effects are really done, especially the space part, but the close-up shots and driving shots of the cable car part are studio shots. The impressive thing is to turn the gondola into a car and drive around the Piazza San...

      A rather bullish 007 series of science fiction films, it is estimated that the space program is based on them. There are many handsome men and beauties, and there are many technological elements. It is worth...

      The special effects of this episode made me feel like watching Star Wars in a trance. In addition, the rebellion of the big steel teeth is quite...

    Movie plot

    The British space shuttle Moonraker transported by the United States was hijacked on the way, and there was no trace of the wreckage of the spacecraft. The Boeing 747 transporting the space shuttle was also reduced to ashes. This immediately aroused the vigilance of the two governments, and the British suspected that an illegal organization had hijacked the spacecraft Lunar Explorer. Bond, as far away as South Africa, was recalled to...

    Evaluation action

    In terms of the setting, Ian Fleming's Moonraker's design is very sci-fi film. From a scientific point of view, the film has a sci-fi meaning in many details. The film follows the trend of sci-fi movies and moves spy stories to space. The action is lively throughout the film, and there is a humorous effect in between, but a lot of insinuations from other popular movies are used to create jokes, which makes people feel like a mess....
