The first 40 minutes was really boring. The setting of Mechanical City was not a sci-fi but a fantasy. It was not touching, but it made people play. The acting skills of several actors were particularly worrying. Maybe all the money was spent on special effects. Well, it was finally when the zombies that looked like Terminators appeared, which made people's eyes shine, but it ended abruptly after a while, and it was difficult to justify the emotional drama. It is a collection of live-action versions of Hayao Miyazaki's movies, Castle in the Sky, Howl's Moving Castle, Red Pig, etc., plus Terminator, and several horror movies are pinched together, the director and screenwriter must see more Japanese comics It's full of the style of the late second-stage disease.

In short, it can only be regarded as an unqualified popcorn movie, but in the end, it didn't make me happy. After watching it, I was only left with tiredness and various question marks.

    This idea is great, but unfortunately the story is so mediocre, almost all characters have no sense of existence

    #Annual sci-fi masterpiece# A neglected sci-fi masterpiece, the score is slightly lower, the scene pattern and the degree of completion are very pleasing, of course, it is related to the escort of Peter the Great. The first impression is that this is a "steampunk" work, the moving city in the wild world, the resurrection of nuclear weapons in the future, and the dystopian story make this film unique and alternative, Hugo Weaving's The villain has made another breakthrough in "scum". The most touching scene is the father-daughter relationship between the "zombie warrior" and the heroine. The most impressive thing in the film is the "anti-traction warrior" played by Jin Ji. The whole process makes people's eyes inseparable She, maybe she's Asian and so cool. Many scenes are easy to awaken the memory of watching TV animations when I was a child, which is full of imagination, and later the female protagonist's sentence "I'm coming with you" to the male protagonist is simply touching.
