Peter can obviously do better

I was entangled for a second whether it was 6 or 7 points. Due to the influence of the plot, my hand shifted to the left. An apocalyptic story wrapped in a steampunk coat, the adult version of "Howard's Moving Castle", produced by Peter + screenwriter, the music style is very similar to The Lord of the Rings (the music at the end of the film is responsible for Tom Holkenberg not Howard Shore), the pictures and shots are all Very sophisticated, is a big production.

I haven't watched the original story yet, but the plot of the movie is a bit cliché, a story in which the villain is obsessed with radical development, and the decent men and women come together from opposites to join hands to save the world. However, the story line is many and logical, and occasionally it can be unexpected, which adds a little point to the plot. The opening scene is very eye-catching, and several screen transitions sort out the time and positioning at once: Human beings self-destruct in 60 minutes, modern cities are built on wheels, and among the strong prey between cities, London is a big man. The next few story lines appear one by one: the heroine's assassination of the villain stems from the fact that her mother was killed by the villain when she was 8 years old, the hero's status in London is not high but he has a dream of a pilot, the anti-traction alliances wanted by the city of London and the girl The hero also has a lot of origins. The villain is obsessed with collecting antiquities to build a big killer. The growth of Shrek and the heroine... The ending is too hasty. The villain's daughter resolutely abandoned her father and chose to save the world. The villain's plane just crashed Just happened to be run over by London.

I saw a comment saying that this is a proper big female lead film, and I thought maybe Peter didn't mean it like this. The male lead is so handsome, but his acting skills are too exaggerated. Shrek zombies' feelings for the heroine reminded me of the Tin Man in "City in the Sky".
