Act 1
The opening is grandfather attacked. When the protagonist rushed to the scene, the grandfather told the protagonist to go to the island. This is a mentor role that offers an invitation to adventure.
The protagonist of course refused, and even went to participate in psychotherapy. In this flashback, I recall listening to my grandfather telling stories when I was a child, and being laughed at by my teachers and classmates.
At 15 minutes, the protagonist attends the party and gets a letter from grandpa. This is the messenger.
In 18 minutes, the protagonist and his father boarded the boat to the island.
The first act starts off well, with hints of monsters that hold the audience firmly. Then it fell into mediocrity, and there was nothing to watch and it seemed long-winded.
Act II
In 22 minutes, I saw the Children's Home for the first time.
In 24 minutes, I entered the children's home again to explore and meet my friends.
After 27 minutes, I entered the tunnel and crossed the time circle of 1943, and the colors suddenly became bright.
Eva came on stage with exactly the same makeup and acting as Depp.
In 48 minutes, I spent 20 minutes seeing the magical abilities of the little friends one by one. The artificial human PK part is quite interesting.
At 50 minutes, Eva resets the time for the first time.
The protagonist returns to reality, sees Grandpa's letter, and finds clues to the enemy. Back to the children's home.
In 64 minutes, the heroine took the protagonist into the sea, and it was very interesting to spit bubbles and drain the water!
In 69 minutes, the two peeked at Eva shooting arrows and killing monsters, and discovered the talent of the protagonist.
In 76 minutes, the protagonist chose not to fight, but led the wolf into the room, and the plot took a sharp turn.
In 85 minutes, Eva was caught. Guys, get ready for a defensive battle. There are planes bombing above, monsters knocking on the door below, the tension reaches its peak, and the climax of the second act comes.
At 91 minutes, the battle was over. The children's home was destroyed, and the friends set off by boat.
The reality part of the second act is far less exciting than the fantasy part. In the real part, the dialogue is unremarkable, the plot is straightforward, and the shots are mostly positive and negative. It just discovers props for the protagonist to promote the progress of the plot, and does not shape the characters. The role of father is an understatement, and the relationship between father and son is immutable, which is really dispensable.
The fantasy part gets a lot of extra points due to the various grotesque settings. The monster setting of "Eat Eyes" is so great that it will leave a psychological shadow on many viewers for a long time. The atmosphere of the climax of the second act is well-done, and it was shot well.
Act Three
95 minutes to reach London. Don't know what time it is.
100 minutes, through the playground to reach the time circle in January, the dock makes an appointment, and the skeleton soldiers fight against the monsters. Skeleton Soldiers praise.
In 104 minutes, the circus battles the eyes, the real and the fake protagonists, etc.
114 minutes, victory and departure.
In 120 minutes, the protagonist uses the time circle to find the boat, and the lovers finally get married.
The third act suddenly became rough, the scene was too petty, the villain's IQ was offline, and the previously powerful monster was quickly toppled. The character's motivation is a mystery, how did the last time circle jump? I felt that I was out of money or time, so I rushed to the end.
Overall evaluation, the reality part is weak and the fantasy part is higher than expected. Various foreshadowing, suspense, and thriller parts are well shot, and the story is relatively complete. Time looping and jumping is a setting that you can think about after reading it. The second scene is the best.
