Art house saves the world

Writer of sensational headlines. Writer of sensational headlines.
Because this movie does not mention the content of "saving the world" (but it is indeed related to the art "house").
The film was released in the United States last year, so online discussions about the film began in November last year. There are quite. Critic. More people shouted that they were fooled.
The main complaint here is that the movie is not the same as what the trailer implies, which is that they go to the cinema expecting to see a movie like "Battle of Los Angeles" or "Independence Day". As a result, scumbag..., they said.
It has to be said that "Sky Cataclysm" took a bad move in the announcement.

The film is actually similar to Cloverfield, taking a micro route (well, here comes Wuxia), but it's clearly not as smart as Ke. If you are interested, you may wish to review how a "Ke" was promoted step by step -, of course, "Sky Cataclysm" is far less than the former in terms of publicity funds, but if "Ke" is also regarded as the Japanese longevity "Brother" in the promotional packaging. If you make a monster movie like Sla, the box office will probably plummet. There will definitely be fans shouting, grass mud horse... scumbag.... The echo is very long and takes up 250 bytes.

The real storyline is this - well, let's spoil it a little bit. Artist J and his wife came to Los Angeles to attend a friend's birthday party, but they were attacked by aliens on Earth. They didn't have the ability to fight back. dare not go. So most of the movie's scenes are locked in the high-end apartment of Art J's friend. They don't fight back, there's no panoramic narrative, and the film revolves around the couple and their partner (in the same building) until the end of the film.

Cataclysm is actually a thriller.
We have already experienced all kinds of American-style disasters, and taking the alien theme as a disaster theme is not the first one. For example, Steven Spielberg's "War of the Worlds" is even more famous. Like Spielberg's masterpiece, "Clash of the Sky" is also set to be indestructible by the aliens in the movie, far beyond the capabilities of the primitive aliens with low intelligence and low-level equipment in "Battle of Los Angeles". There is no shootout here, there are a little bit of tentacle poking and other scenes If you run around and scream, "Sky Cataclysm" can completely satisfy you.

The emotional clues of "The Cataclysm of the Sky" are its weakest link, and the expression of the theme of "free will of the art house" is so obscure|-although the Statue of Liberty appears, and the aliens occupy the brain of Art J at the end of the film, J lost his body.... These bridge designs have been criticized by fans. This is also a big reason for the film's one-sided reputation. I will not analyze the details. For details, see "Just One 3D" (author : Reader) that post.

The purpose of posting this post is not to say how connotative this film is, but to say that this is a low-budget thriller, not "Battle of Los Angeles", let alone "War of the Worlds" ", more like a B-grade film like "Octopus". The perspective is not as wide as "Battle of Los Angeles", because it is a small story about a few couples, and it has nothing to do with saving the world. The scene is not as good as "The War of the World", but Not lost to the scary scale of "War of the Worlds", there are a lot of tentacles as mentioned earlier ❤...

Well, I have to go back to the origin of evil, right?


Tucao: The aliens in "Battle of Los Angeles" are here to grab water Drink, the aliens in "The Cataclysm of the Sky" are here to forcibly occupy (wash?) the human brain. As for the aliens in "War of the Worlds", human beings have not yet figured out, what exactly are you doing here? , they themselves hang because they can't stand the pollution of the earth.
