"Pacific Rim 2" - full of grooves from scratch!

This film is still the plot of the traditional rebellious protagonist to save the world. In the last film, the son of the black man who did his best was re-recruited as a driver, and he had all kinds of friction with a new girl, and finally succeeded under the obstruction of big and small bosses. saved the world.

Compared with the previous one, this film obviously leans a lot towards China in all aspects. There are three main Chinese actors: Da Tiantian as the noble and cool white and rich beauty, Zhang Jin as the domineering general, and Hong Kong actor Huang Kaijie as the handsome and friendly little brother "Ouyang Jinhai"; most of the story takes place in China "Mo Yulan" military base; the huge "Jingdong" logo in Tokyo, the main battlefield (inexplicable joy, perhaps this is a stalk).

In fact, as Jing Tian's township party, I have a good impression of Jing Tian. After watching many of her films over the years, I feel that although there are no bright spots in her acting skills, there are no special black spots to speak of. If there is a black point, it should be "obviously lacking the appropriate ability but possessing excellent resources". However, this article is not to discuss this issue. Returning to the character itself, Jing Tian has entered the image of "Bai Fumei, who has a noble identity and IQ crushing and dominates the situation" since the movie "Warring States". This is still reserved in "The Great Wall", but it is fully in the Pacific Rim showed. It's a bit surreal to be a company leader who is also the top technology person in the company and in the world at the same time. The most powerful thing is that this person is no more than 35 years old, and he is very domineering, which is very magical.

As a company leader, Sister Tiantian doesn't like shaking hands with others; as a technician, she changes her clothes and hairstyle every time she appears; A gave equipment to the male and female masters, and was unscathed after rolling around on the ground in the mecha. This is Miss Sweetie! A woman with a miracle!

Zhang Jin is really handsome! Moreover, compared with Sister Tiantian, Zhang Jin's acting skills are obviously a level higher. The expressions and gestures, the voice and rhythm of the lines, etc. are all more comfortable and will not make people play. The only point to complain about is that, knowing that the enemy was coming, the protagonist and his party had just climbed up from the ground, and the General had already gone to the most conspicuous and vulnerable command center in the base, and was knocked out by a single shot. Maybe it's just the paycheck.

Ouyang Jinhai, the name is very mysterious. However, the little brother is indeed a great dragon role. He has good looks and figure, and his acting skills are not enough. However, because there are not enough coffee spots, he can only play soy sauce.

Looking at the whole film, there are too many things to show, the rhythm of the plot is very fast, and the waves are not settled; at the same time, the amount of information is also very large, and new characters and new terms are constantly added, which makes people a little bit. Overwhelmed; but the overall plot line is still very flat, without any surprises. Compared with the previous work, this drama lacks a lot of details that make people make up their minds, and put everything under the sun, swearing! smash smash! Although there are very few other mecha scenes in the previous work, it highlights the image of the protagonist's mecha; in this play, four mechas are given, but the importance of the protagonist is weakened.

In addition, I don’t really understand, there are so many weapons that are not good enough to use, and the robot has to go up and fight against the thick-skinned monster; obviously a knife can cut off a leg, and it has to use an electromagnet to suck up a bunch of houses Smash the car. It seems that after the appearance of the monster, everyone's thinking has returned to the primitive society, and they can't use tools?

I also don't understand, why the first aliens made a big fanfare to create a wormhole teleportation monster to destroy the earth, and the second one directly controlled a geoscientist and planned to destroy the earth? Isn't this too random? What if a scientist chokes on water?

It is mentioned in the play that nothing has happened for ten years, and then everyone honestly guarded the remaining few mechas in these ten years, and did not build new spares, nor did they assemble advanced weapons on a large scale. Waiting for Sweetie to build a drone to save the planet. After the appearance of the monster, the only difference from the previous one is that there is an extra jet flying device, and at first glance, the pilots of the professional soldiers have been replaced by a few recruits who obviously only joined the army two months ago. I have to say that the people of the future are also very big.

Originally, the drone armor of the sweet sister company rebelled. I thought that sweet sister would become the villain, so this drama is really a surprise, but how could Wei Guangzheng's miraculous incarnation of sweet sister make mistakes? So scientists took the blame. Moreover, the scientist slipped out of the company where Sister Tian Tian was guarded by layers of security, and went to Tokyo. After the scientist hacked Sister Tiantian's drone armor, everyone pretended that nothing happened, regardless of the fact that the main battlefield was in Tokyo, let the scientist hack Sister Tiantian's Tokyo factory, and released a bunch of robots for the monsters to come. a combined...

I was wondering if the mechas would come together and make a big wave, and the hero and heroine smashed the mecha on the monster's head? ! I thought it would hit Mt. Fuji directly and smash the monster like a meteor strike, but apart from the death of the monster, there is nothing unusual about it? ! Einstein! The conservation of your quality is not working! The monster was hit and killed, and the hero and heroine came out to fight in a snowball fight unscathed? Is Sister Tian Tian still in the rice cooker?

But in general, the operation of "Chinese elements integrated into the world background" finally looks a bit interesting, not as abrupt as the stupid and rich people in "Transformers 2". For this direction, it is a bit of a surprise made progress.

Anyway, as a commercial popcorn movie, watching the special effects is right!

    It looks better than "Transformers", and finally came out a combination King Kong, which is better than the movie version of Hercules!

    Why in broad daylight, there will be no charm. Is the technology substandard, or is it a breeze? I'm afraid it's the overall reason why the overall tone, visual atmosphere, and even the mecha & beast-loving feelings are not up to standard (I still can't forget the picture of Rinko Kikuchi holding an umbrella at the Tsing Yi base). As for the B-grade movies that moviegoers talk about, in fact, this kind of B-grade popcorn is the sequel.
