      "The Loch Ness Monster", which is in great contrast to imagination

      Text / Huang Da

      originally saw the title of the movie and thought it was a horror and suspense movie, and guessed that the plot must be bloody, like "Alien" and "Godzilla".

      After the movie started, on the night when the water monster hatched from the egg, there was lightning, thunder, and wind and rain, creating an atmosphere of disaster. When the boy reached out to the little monster, I thought tragedy was about to happen, and the following scene must be the boy being torn...

      Cherish love...

      I still went to see "The Loch Ness Monster - Legend of the Deep Sea", because Jingjing said that it was okay to watch it on the spot, and I agreed with it after watching it last night. Although it is a movie with a child as the protagonist, it is more suitable for adults to watch.

      Very bird very ambiguous

      When I went to the cinema to watch "Yangtze River No. 7", the trailer of the film was shown at the beginning. It felt okay at the time. Adong said that this movie seems to be better.

      I finally saw this movie after a month. Is this a movie for all ages?
      The beginning is rather boring. When I saw the middle, it gave me the feeling that the child's mother was in heat, flirting with the helper, and flirting with the captain. The maid flirts with the cook~

      Thriller + Children's Movies + Science Fiction + Romance Movies

      The music of a thriller is matched with the plot of a children's film, and the posture of a sci-fi film is matched with the content of a sci-fi romance. In the terrifying shot, there were actually little girls laughing around. This movie is so weird.

      1. The plot is rigid and not smooth.
      A water horse that looks similar to Shrek was thrown alive against the background of a war, very rough and bad. The bombardment and shooting seem to be unknown, but it's just a water monster that...

      a century of bravery

      I still forced myself to finish reading it..
        I still received a gift from the persecution..
        
        A story about war. About human emotions. A story about bravery..
        Once again, those so-called wars are emphasized. .also tells us again that those things are meaningless..but only because we
        are human.a kind of creature with strong desire Recalling the conversation he had with his father..the atmosphere was very harmonious..like in heaven..a pair of father and son..a...

    Visual effects

    The special effects of the film are in charge of Weta Data and Weta Studios. The first step of the process is to design this mythical animal. Because no one has ever seen a water monster, there is plenty of room for imagination. When conceptual designer Matt Codd set out to design, he referred to a variety of different types of animals and creatures. Because the creation is the legendary water monster that I imagined as the "water...

    Evaluation action

    The unconstrained imagination stirs the mind with the help of excellent CG technology. The relationship between the teenager and the dinosaurs and the teenager's psychological activities are not flattened, and they are intellectual, humorous, and sincere. The outstanding performance of the actors headed by Emily Watson is impeccable   . (Sina Entertainment Review)
    In "The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep", the relationship between the...

      Female Tourist: What is that?

      Male Tourist: It's a famous picture of the monster. But it's fake.

      Female Tourist: How do you know it's fake? It looks real.

      Old Angus: Oh, it's fake alright.

      Male Tourist: Of course it's fake. Everyone knows that.

      Old Angus: We'd know, son. There's more to that photo than meets the eye.
