"Wolf Warrior 2", the film market welcomed a wave of visual effects films representing the high production level of overseas industries, bringing different flavors of experience to the audience. However, whether it was Luc Besson's "Interstellar Agent: The City of a Thousand Planets", or the hoped "Extreme Car Thief" and "Cars 3", the response was mediocre. Especially Luc Besson, a good friend of Chinese movie fans, this time, the big move that has accumulated strength for many years is like a punch on cotton and disappears into the water. The biggest controversial topic has never been. The feedback of public opinion on "Interstellar Agent" is surprisingly consistent on comments such as "strong visual effects, weak plot". Regarding this point, if you casually look through the online reviews, it is not difficult to find that North American audiences and Chinese audiences, elite movie fans and ordinary audiences have such a high degree of unity of thought on this film.
I feel that neither the visual effects nor the plot constitute the reason why "Interstellar" is so indescribable. Luc Besson has invested a lot of energy, financial resources, and even personal feelings. In "Interstellar Agent", he has a clear intention to build his own unique sci-fi world after "Avatar", relying on his imagination. But the film is far from that level. Putting "Agent" in the sci-fi franchise, it reminds me of Stanley Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey," which was released in 1968. Today, with the rapid development of special effects, the status of "2001 A Space Odyssey" as a "milestone of modern science fiction film technology" is still unbreakable. That year, the film won 4 Oscar nominations including Best Art Direction, Best Director, Best Screenplay, and won the Best Visual Effects Award. Objectively speaking, at least in terms of special effects, "Interstellar Agent" is higher than "2001: A Space Odyssey", not to mention the strong internal force input by technological progress in the film's special effects in the past 50 years, the latter does not actually advertise special effects, the data shows , only 205 shots in the whole film are special effects shots. In terms of the plot, "2001 A Space Odyssey" is not committed to providing a relaxed and pleasant experience. The first dialogue appears at the 25th minute, and the rhythm is slow, while "Interstellar Agent" can at least see that the creators have made great efforts to make the plot. The expression is more approachable, although not successful. Worthless by routine, but "2001: A Space Odyssey" is so effective at creating a fascination that opens a window from the cosmic gate to the human soul, John Strauss Jr.'s Waltz Waltz "The Blue Danube", Richard Strauss' "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" as the opening music, and many other classical music, are integrated with the picture and the plot, and the time travel is not out of date.
If it is said that because of the movie "2001 A Space Odyssey", the meaning of the audience looking up at the stars has never been the same. Then, the biggest sin of "Interstellar Agent" is mediocrity, and there is no trace of mediocrity. It seems that Rihanna's 1 minute and 40 seconds of drag dance can leave a little impression. It's hard for you to imagine that such a mediocre "Interstellar Agent", as well as "The Fifth Element" and "This Killer Is Not Too Cold", came from the same director. The special effects are strong, the investment is large, and the experience is rich, which does not seem to be able to score points for a movie. This once again proves that there is no credit for literary and artistic works, and every creation is like a new start, and the gains and losses are all in one mind. Speaking of which, although the level of famous directors is also in a screw-type trajectory, when compared to Luc Besson, Christopher Nolan is rarely mediocre and always brings some surprises, which makes me look forward to it. From the upcoming domestic release of "Dunkirk".
