Gemini Man movie review: not a bad movie, but a parallel import

As of today, "Gemini Man" has 37 points on Metacritic, 31% on Rotten Tomatoes, and 5.2 points on IMDB (2000+ votes), so I didn't expect much to enter the show (don't say that foreign countries can't understand the East) style, this is a bunch of American popcorn routines), and after reading it... one word: "water".

I'll give spoilers to my heart's content, so please avoid them. The plot is very simple. The protagonist is the worst killer of the government. He can snipe at a certain target in a bullet train. When he wants to retire, he is told by his friends that the target is not a terrorist, so that the protagonist will be chased by the black hand behind the scenes. When he escaped with a heroine who came to monitor him and a friend who was a tool man, he encountered a young clone agent secretly copied by the villain with the DNA of the protagonist. Then the plot of the plot, the protagonist group told the young version of Will Smith after finding out the truth, and then the young version and the villain had a bloody dialogue and decided to join the protagonist. That kind) teamed up to defeat the swarm of fish and the second clone Will Smith (painless and emotionless version), and everyone was Happy Ending after the villain died.

It's not that I scribbled, the plot is this kind of routine, and even some in-depth lines are lacking. To tell the truth, after reading it, I think it is better to re-watch "The 6th Day" by the governor 19 years ago. OK, the plot didn't blow up, let's take a picture (in fact, there are a lot of character behavior logic problems), sorry, there are no surprises, except that the young version has a scene where the grenade is bounced back with bullets, and the last two British and one female battle is painless Except for the emotionless Will Smith, there are no major highlights in the rest of the action scenes, only a "routine" feeling.

Rating: 5.5 points (whether it is the theme or the picture, there are no bright spots)

    Wow, relying on this dazzling technique, the true and false CG of Smith’s fights are not said. This is a 3D movie with low-light scenes two-thirds of the time. It not only has 120 frames, but also slow motion 120. Frames (but there is no 4K 120-frame screen in the entire Netherlands, I only watched 2K 60-frames. Some scenes are very amazing, such as the wide range of sea water, the silky high-speed action scenes at the moment, and even the first-person perspective shots on motorcycles. It’s amazing that technology has really expanded the possibilities of image language. But the effect of this novel expression is still very limited. The script and lines are not so bad as expected (the core of the father-son relationship is OK), but more likely It's a compromise to technical ambitions.

    The essence of the three scenes of passing the train, chasing the car in the alley, and fighting the second generation at night, the rest of the bridges are made up like some domestic parent-child sitcoms in the past.
