old-fashioned technology

Overall, I still appreciate the director's cult spirit. After all, it is not easy to make a cartoon that pays homage to the B-level monster movie in the 1950s. After all, DreamWorks is not owned by his family. No matter what director is asked first, it is to earn green tickets for the film company, not to please the fans. It's not even about earning naked statuettes for yourself. Not many people can play their own dark humor sandbox alone in a corner in a business-first society like the Coen brothers. It’s not easy to shoot, and it’s even harder to make it interesting. Just look at [The Day the Earth Stood Still], which is also a tribute to old movies, and you know that this bowl of nostalgic rice is not delicious. The director finally made this bowl of rice decently, how it tastes depends on the individual. But I think it kind of makes sense.
Thinking about the director is also very difficult, not only to strive for PG13 to attract children, but also to bring uncles and aunts to play nostalgic tribute cards that children can't understand. That's why there is such a strange combination of super-Q jelly and Seth Rogen. It's not like the director's luck if you don't make it four, but the director's tribute or parody of old movies is really everywhere. The command room in [Dr. Strangelove], the big aircraft in [Independence Day], the lines in [The Godfather], the pretentious president in [The Martian Playing on Earth], as for those monsters that are the key propaganda, there is no need to go into details. All of them are figures of the B-movie era.
However, in general, the film's lack of portrayal of characters and the lack of meticulous character modeling are still a major flaw in the film. DreamWorks focuses too much on the pursuit of technology, unlike Pixar's modeling of every character can be called a classic case. Maybe that's why Blake swears at Oscar.
By the way, did the Hulk borrow the giantess' super invincible stretch wedding dress. Compared with the old version decades ago, people today can't let go.

    Although it is only a short film, the rhythm is also poorly mastered. The story is also very interesting, that is, the characters become fun.
