A family adventure in a sci-fi shell

Recently, Hollywood seems to fall in love with this kind of hard film that uses high-tech props as the background to talk about the ideal of life. If the Forsaken World of War has described a sci-fi doomsday war from an unimaginable but still novel perspective, Returning to Earth can only be said to be a pseudo-sci-fi adventure mixed with Avatar, Warcraft Invasion and Home Alone.
The background of this film is that the earth is on the street. Human beings are struggling to survive on alien planets. It describes that Will Smith and his son accidentally jumped back to the earth during an official business trip to try to repair the relationship between father and son. In order to survive, father and son work together to destroy It is a story of a deep integration and inheritance of hearts and minds, and finally successfully cleared the level despite all difficulties. .
In view of the director of this film who has filmed the sixth sense of glittering, so the phenomenon of high synchronization between father and son telepathy that frequently occurs in the film will not be demolished. But there's just too much of this incredible stuff. . .
Bad Comments
1. Is the meaning of returning to Earth just to find a place to practice?
After watching this film, I really don't know what the writer's point of setting the plot point in a familiar environment like Earth is. Except for the Moby Dick, you can't see the slightest connection between human beings and the earth, and even the appearance of the earth is like an accidental pregnancy - oh, I accidentally got it - as if this is a random thing picked up in the vast universe. A terrestrial planet, and even I dare say that as long as the subtitles are not polite, some people must believe that this is just a planet very similar to the earth.
Originally, the earth is the homeland of human beings, and a little influence can make this blue planet resonate with countless viewers. Following the plot, more reasonable reasons for returning to the earth can be made up: for example, after the destruction of the earth, human beings enter space and Alien, due to the great changes in the environment, the fear of the unknown has gradually occupied the human mind, so it has repeatedly failed to face alien creatures with the ability to perceive fear. Will Smith, with firm belief and will to protect his family, found the courage to face danger that a pure man of the earth should have, and won many battles. After thinking about it, human beings feel that only by returning to the earth can they find their identity, regain their confidence, and defeat aliens. So Da Neng led the team, and the teenagers started the earth trial blablabla~ But the screenwriter didn't even bother to think about this kind of bloody plot, and a jump accident would be a success. I can't see the return of human thought, the inevitable connection between the growth of the male protagonist and the earth, the revelation of the current situation of the earth to human beings, and even the human beings struggle to survive in aliens. It's useless.
Then we can't help but ask, why did the title talk about the destruction of so many earths, and the war between humans and aliens? Why don't you just put the background directly on the alien planet, at least it's more convenient to code, don't even think about the alien environment and creatures?
2. The sci-fi background is too soft
. A similarity between this film and the Forgotten War Realm is that the technology of the future world is depicted as the ultimate experience of the existing tall, handsome and rich, but the Forgotten War Realm is apple-style, and returning to the earth is a mix wind. Of course, as a sci-fi film that does not focus on hard sci-fi, we do not require too many connections with high-end fashionable technologies such as theoretical physics. It also endures the same shape as the modern home furnishing in the spaceship with the hard exterior; endures the saber that can change twenty-two like the golden hoop; endures the magical fabric of the future that is as cool as the Tinkerbell props. But there are still too many technical flaws in this film. .
3. The inexplicable growth of bear children
Smith Jr. is one. . Well, a child who coexists with original sin and hard work, so he works hard to become stronger, to atone for his sins, and to surpass his father to become a man who can truly protect his family. But the reality is that he is a bear child, a bear child with survival and fighting skills but a very immature mind. What makes people speechless is that such a bear child has become a responsible, courageous, wise, and discerning young man within 100 kilometers of the earth. It seems that he is a strong child who has always been dissatisfied with his father. He insists on his own philosophy, and while forgiving and understanding his father, he instantly converts all his shortcomings into advantages on the spot. The hardships and pains he experienced seemed to have no effect on him, what should be done or what, but he had an epiphany at the end. . . Although reality and pressure make people grow up, it is really abrupt and unmarked to grow up. . . It's not too easy to find a slot

point as a pseudo-science fiction movie. I said that the earth environment should be put on an alien background. It is much harder to describe a strange but convincing earth environment than an alien. Of course, I continue to admire the guts of the screenwriter. Except that the earth's ecology is not suitable for human survival, it is actually similar to the planet we live in. The sky is still blue, the water is still clear, and the animals are still basically original. . I couldn’t help but ponder deeply: Why did humans escape from the earth? Even the species at the top of the food chain, such as big cats and carnivorous raptors, can survive, but humans can’t survive? That green forest yo~ Is the oxygen content in the atmosphere insufficient? What's up with the apparently higher animals that are alive and kicking with insufficient atmospheric content? You see, there are wild boars too! Earth species mutated? Human beings cannot survive on the whole earth, you say that people mutate? You only mutate for a thousand years? Your mutation is the mutation of the entire biosphere?







In fact, we can hardly see the impact of the end of the world caused by human beings on the vibrant earth. My dears, it has only been 1,000 years. So there must be gods on earth, and that big bird was raised by a man named Yang Guo. . .
2. What is the brother carving?
A bird, who treats food as a family member, is not afraid of severe cold, and sacrifices his life to save a bear child. What kind of morals is this?
It is said that the eagle brothers do not catch bear children for food, and the motherhood of animals has a time node, right? When their cubs are just out of their shells. What is the endocrine disorder of this eagle to think that a bird man who suddenly appeared in the waterfall area and flew around looks like a real son, so he brought it back to the nest?
Said that the eagle brother felt that the bear child saved the cub, so he wanted to repay his gratitude. Please don't make up the IQ of birds. Birds can't distinguish such a complex behavior. And then the complexity of the process of saving people. . Does this eagle often do this? How did he learn without a teacher? Of course, if you want to say that Yang Guo manifests spirits, that divine sculptures have spirituality, or that this is for love, I didn't say that.
3. The distress signal
spacecraft crashed and the tail drifted for a hundred miles, so I went to find the emergency signal bomb. Let me go, such a large military transport ship puts a flare on the bow and the stern? Is this a backup? Before the ship crashed, the signal was not sent out in space because of ion interference, and the bear child succeeded in climbing a mountain? With such a long distance, a small transmitter can send a distress signal. With such an explosive technology, the whole ship relies on a handheld handheld as the only distress signal transmitter?
4. Not to mention the unbelievable interior and exterior of spaceships and technology
spaceships and their uncoordinated shapes. What's the matter with this unergonomic design? The chairs and seat belts are not as comfortable as modern transport aircraft~ What is the same thing as the greenhouse insulation film floating in the wind! ?
Didn't the spaceship crash and break in half? What airtight means does Comrade Will Smith rely on to keep the air pressure and oxygen content in the open first half of the spacecraft normal?
When the spaceship encountered the Starburst crew, did those soldiers use hemp rope? What are they strengthening? Is this a spaceship or a medieval galleon?
Are there no weapons other than sabers on military transport ships attached to the army? It would be silly for such a melee monster to go up and chop with a knife. .
Look at the battle uniform again, there is no gloves in such a dangerous place, and the courage is enough ~ the life-saving injection behind the back is the only one, and it cures all diseases. . With this medical technology, there is no emergency equipment for trauma? The front part of the spaceship hasn't rotted yet, so there is no extra backpack and resource supply in the whole front part? It's so light to get a total insurance for the child, right? I understand that in this era, human beings have absolutely absolutely no habit of leaving redundancy and backup.
5. The inhuman body
Comrade Smith broke his leg because he crashed and the blood vessels burst. I don’t care if it’s an artery or a vein, it’s a big blood vessel anyway, from the crash of the spacecraft to waking up, to determining the plan and deployment, to the child Set off, and then this brother performed a simple and outrageous connection operation, and he had already bled to death. . .
6. A miraculous epiphany.
His dad described the process of epiphany to him. Well, this is an effective way of communication, but when the kid Mao had an epiphany, he really fell into the water, and the handling was too similar. . The whole family is of water attribute. Does falling into the water have an intelligence bonus?
7. Strange details
A. The military port subordinates, the whole routine is old and weird
B. Smith's military rank, there is still a phenomenon of becoming the army commander based on personal combat power in the future world
C. Little Smith, who is a paramilitary, repeatedly refuses to obey orders because of fear, and His father is also not to blame, you must know that his father is a public and private
praise point.
The display of family affection, the only bright spot, thanks to Smith’s blessing—because little Smith’s acting skills are really bad—created the image of a man who has become silent and is not good at expressing his feelings due to the tempering of reality. He has given up too much for the sake of mankind and owes There are too many families, but the love for the children in my heart is not lost to anyone (not to mention the husband and wife, because I think the husband and wife of Smith and Okonedo in this film are really more like brothers and sisters). Although Little Smith's acting skills are poor, maybe because he is a real father and son after all, sometimes his eyes are still powerful.

In short, apart from family elements, this film should not be too serious in other parts, and it is full of things that insist on mixing science fiction, military, and war into the relationship between father and son.
