A child's world

I haven't seen a movie like this in a long time.

Friends said that this film is a movie experience version of Temple Run. I didn't watch the first one, but I guess the first one must be super good, and it gave the production company such audacity to put such a bad script on IP and force it to shoot. It's obviously a great production, and the actors are also good, but make no sense! The initial setting of the characters is memoryless, probably because the screenwriter knows that he is not good at character background setting, and just wants the characters to do cool things. Once some characters have a background, their behavior becomes very unreasonable. .

The male protagonist acts like a silly bitch who has never learned to choose between setbacks. The female protagonist dominates the character's actions with the interests of humanity first. The other teammates of the male protagonist have unknown goals and just want to challenge themselves with the male protagonist (death); The villain's behavior is inexplicable and has no background and no foreshadowing, and all the characters' inner descriptions are superficial like a few-year-old children.

In the third part, the male and female protagonists kiss in a sea of ​​fire, especially like a warm-colored version of the classic Titanic picture, so one is destined to die. However, my heart didn't waver and I even bid farewell to the hero and heroine in advance. I really can't understand how the characters in the film did it to such an extent that they made myself so down.

By the way, based on my limited observations of the characters in the second and third episodes, I think the female protagonist has no love for the male protagonist. She hugs the male protagonist like a child and holds her puppet. Possess only. As for the male protagonist, he certainly doesn't like the female protagonist very much. After being betrayed in the second part, he did not clearly explain the changes in his mood towards the female protagonist. It is common to hate the female protagonist because of love, and there is no hatred.

There are a lot of people in the show who were deliberately killed without knowing why, people who didn't know how to be resurrected, and people who tried their best to do cool things with their lives without knowing what their purpose was. The last villain in the film, Jason, said that the male protagonist is naturally immune to viruses and cannot understand the difficulties of ordinary people. He was wrong, he didn't understand at all how hard the male protagonist made to create difficulties for himself and his friends (and sacrificed his friends to overcome difficulties and survived with the aura of the protagonist). I originally wanted to give two stars, but I thought about the fact that there are people who are so arrogant and can't understand with their minds. These people have all contributed to the thrilling action scenes in the play. If you only pursue the picture and story rhythm, this movie is probably worth four points. The pictures, emotions, and rhythm are very commercial, and the excitement is enough for ordinary audiences to experience. But I still can't connect all the plots logically, the characters' behavior has no reason, all the plots are superficial, and it is difficult to generate memory points. But all of these may be the screenwriter's reflection and reflection on real life in a sense. Life is so inexplicable and untraceable, and drama is like life. So give one more star.
