Little Film Review - "The Adventures of the New Poseidon"

As I mentioned earlier, this film is a model of this year's box office failure. Waterloo, a remake of a classic old film, invested more than 100 million US dollars. The film was like a cucumber hitting a gong as soon as it was released. A terrible word. Comrade Wolfgang, who once had glorious achievements, was dizzy and dazzled by the monstrous waves he created, and he was so famous that he sighed with embarrassment. Why rely on the two magic weapons of technology and capital, but the effect is far less than the old version more than 30 years ago? I think it is probably because the length of the film is too short. In order to speed up the pace, the characters are not deeply portrayed, and the script writing is not solid. It is superficial and loses its essence.

Nonetheless, the new version of Poseidon is not useless. The plot and performances are underwhelming, and the special effects can be considered thrilling. After all, the more than 100 million US dollars are not wasted, you can get the effect! At this point, Wolfgang, who is a commercial film director, still has two brushes, and the 90-foot-high wave is more perfect and scarier than "The Perfect Storm", plus Josh · Lucas has always been my admiration. With these two selling points, it is worth the 20 yuan ticket price.
