flashed with deep sadness after the end of the opening introduction and laid a color movie tragic, "Pompeii Doom" Although not able to deduce how an otherworldly love, although the story begins shortly already guessed, though In order to create special effects for the eruption of the volcano, there is no shortage of funnels, but the love between aristocratic girls and gladiator slaves that transcends identity and life and death, the kiss of true love under the eruption of Pompeii, this doomsday love is still moving under the unbearable plot. .


One of the characters that cannot be avoided when talking about this movie is its director Paul Anderson, because if you go into its plot theory, the film can be described as a lot of grooves. He is famous for directing the action movie "Resident Evil" series. He is not good at creating the atmosphere of a romantic movie, so "Pompeii Doom" uses the most commonly used topic of the European Roman film Gladiator as the most breakthrough point to spread the movie plot for it. The action scene is Paul Anderson. It never disappoints the audience. The gladiator is not blindly bloody but a skill-based life-and-death battle, which supports the only highlight of the film before the end of the day. The portrayal of the love branch is extremely general. The biggest problem with Anderson’s "Titanic" romance film is that the accumulation of the characters’ feelings is pale and weak. The feelings between the noble lady Cassia and the gladiator Mylow are more like being bluntly pieced together, even if it is love at first sight. It also came too fast. The film put too many shots in the story of the gladiators, and hoped for a touching story. The director was too ambitious and greedy for more completeness, and hoped to show too much. However, it is difficult to cover everything and there is no focus, which is the regrettable aspect of this epic movie.



After nearly an hour of unreliable storytelling in "Pompeii", the highlight of "reliable" finally arrived. The sun and the moon were dark, and the volcanic eruption with landslides and cracks was shocking. The special effects of light and shadow The catastrophe, compared with the recasting special effects of Pompeii, which was often seen in the previous paragraph, the film can be said to have met with sincerity in the scene of the destruction of the city by the volcano. The Beiren also hoped to use the boat to leave, and the molten rock that erupted afterwards destroyed the ship, the ensuing tsunami made people flee to the inner city, and the final big explosion collapsed everything, although just The process is somewhat contrary to the original appearance of the Pompeii volcanic eruption, but it should be understood as a fiction of a movie service plot, but at this time the unreasonable plot of the movie is particularly prominent. It is not enough. Forgetting you and fighting each other, Paul Anderson is really trying to penetrate his action scene to the end. Even so, he was finally moved by the scene of the two abandoning their horses and embracing and kissing. It can only be said as an explosion. The rice flower film "The End of Pompeii" is reliable and emotional at the same time.


Paul Anderson's win or lose, the movie won the special effects, lost the plot, and the magnificent catastrophe shows the sincerity of "Pompeii Doom", but for an action director who has already been finalized and relied on filming as a sequel to the Nuggets, It's hard to expect a breakthrough in the plot.
