After watching the 2018 Predator, I have to sigh that this IP has been difficult to restart. The 2010 version is not satisfactory. It is still remarkable as a cool film, but this Predator 8 years later can only be said to be an old series. Spiritual sequel. It's hard to find a place to praise the script and setting, and even say that after 60 minutes, you can guess all the dialogue and development - the down-and-out mercenary took his team of lunatics, and after killing the iron blood, he started again. To win the national commendation, replace the two terms mercenary and iron and blood with other words, and you can piece together dozens of science fiction action movies in the United States in recent years. Although good films are still emerging one after another, there are also a lot of low-conscience sci-fi films bound by the inherent framework, which also makes me think of the controversial Wu Jing's famous sentence in the interview - "Look at you. Go to the American movies", and this is probably the American movies that Comrade Warrior Wolf talked about
The most intuitive feeling that gave me after watching Jagged Blood is that the American Wolf Warrior, or the North American branch of the Warrior Wolf Squadron, changed the protagonist to Leng Feng, the location to Africa, the FBI and the soldiers to mercenaries, then he really Much like Wolf Warrior 2, but with the addition of a final villain called the Predator. Most of the humorous places are slightly embarrassing, and the setting of the characters lacks new ideas - autistic prodigy, Nige who loves to talk about guns, white uncle who is in charge of complaining and funny, watching the script - killing soldiers, killing iron blood , sacrifice, desperate, the goddess who suddenly appeared, and was finally commended, which means that there is a foreshadowing ending for the next one, not just the new Predator, similar designs have happened in too many recent movies, when many people go to Brainless to criticize the "God" setting of Wolf Warrior 2, to criticize Wu Jing's "sarcasm", and to put aside patriotic kidnapping, if he compares with other movies such as New Jagged Blood, he does not have much problem with the narrative of American movies. .
If you talk about Jagged Blood, you have to mention Alien, then in fact, taking out AVP is enough to show the level of the two major IPs. For Jagged Blood, AVP can be said to have the highest rating, and it can also be said to be one of the best. Alien, AVP is the beast-fighting movie that Lao Lei criticized, but it goes against the frame constructed by the original Alien. Speaking of restart, the 13-year Prometheus and the 17-year contract have created a new and broader alien universe on the basis of inheriting and supplementing the old work, whether it is the popular one who has been praised in the altar or has a good reputation Contracts are all at a height that Jagged Blood is far from reaching, and these two IPs have long lost their comparability.
When the number of movies viewed by the audience increases and the quality control increases, the accumulation of special effects can no longer make up for the huge gaps in settings and plots. A good sci-fi movie can resonate in people's hearts, not just popcorn. ", from the unfinished end of the Transformers series and the violent death of the new iron blood, it has directly proved that the current threshold of science fiction movies is higher than imagined. Science fiction movies should also have thinking. Whether it's a horror-type monster work that directly addresses the inner fears and childhood nightmares, or a work of a dystopian dark future, or even just a cool movie, it can quite cater to the audience's favorite popcorn, as a future or fantasy. Science fiction movies, if they lose their minds, have already declared their own failure in advance.
