Go down to the peak, flutter in the off-season

The United States is the home base of today's science fiction, and it also has a profound science fiction culture; however, because of space constraints, in most science fiction films, those grand worldviews are simplified, and the focus is on showing visual wonders. The Wachowskis are undoubtedly good candidates for both. The "Matrix" at the end of the last century brought the two brothers who were brothers to the altar, and the subsequent "Matrix" trilogy established their status as contemporary masters. However, after the two became famous, the more they played, the more fun they became. On a whim, they could shoot a cartoon-style "Speed ​​Racer" to make up for their childhood dreams; when they came back to their senses, they would use a volume of "Cloud Atlas" that spanned thousands of years to wrap you around the clouds. In fog. However, these films that cost a lot of money have one thing in common, that is, they can no longer find the praise of the "Matrix" era, and they all lose money.
We often say that there are three chances in Hollywood, no matter how successful you are before, you have to pack up and leave after playing three times in a row. Of course, this has to be the treatment only for the big players. If you play a small role, it will be in vain if you fail once. And what we're talking about today, "Jupiter Ascending," is the Wachowskis' third chance.
The director of this year's Oscar-best film "Birdman" released a documentary to the crew before filming, what's the content? "The Tightrope Walker", the director said, this is the movie we're going to make, and if we fail, we're done. In many cases, success or failure is only a line between success and failure, as is the case with "Birdman", which has a slanted sword, and "Jupiter Rising", which has once again spent a lot of money.
Unlike Feng Xiaogang and Ning Hao, the two sisters' filming is not a lip-smacking verbal job, but a special effect based on real gold and silver. Let's say that special effects are worth every penny, and you can't cut corners if you want to be timid. Therefore, although the film party is pounding in his heart, the money on the book cannot be short.
What were the results? The film was originally scheduled to be released last year. I heard that the company executives cried when they saw the finished product. It wasn't because the quality was too poor to be able to handle it. So it was decisively postponed, and it was quickly returned to the furnace for reconstruction. When resetting the file, I didn't dare to face it again, but hid in the desolate spring file. It is a pity that the loss is still a mess, and various media also generously sent bad reviews. As the authoritative media "Guardian" said, "the film is like a weird cut version of a sci-fi TV set to avoid half a season being cut off" has been considered very polite.
How is the video quality? It can be seen that the brothers and sisters have made more efforts to be close to the people. They are not as profound as "Cloud Atlas", and they are not as young as "Speed ​​Racer", and they also incorporate a lot of humorous elements. It's a pity that the main story is too old-fashioned, and it is still an old stalk of a Mary Suja hero saving beauty. Even if it is packaged into the background of the interstellar dynasty, it is still uninteresting. The special effects are as good as ever, but they are implicated by the plot, like a fat man with five short statures wearing a gorgeous cloak - this layer of skin is blinded.
Although the film has few new ideas, it is still a rare heavyweight player in the off-season. If you are so bored that you can't find a better pastime other than watching a brainless blockbuster, you might as well watch it. And the Wachowskis, I found out that their next work was already a TV show.
