1. Special effects: It can be said that the special effects made by 10 million US dollars can reach this level, which is far beyond my imagination. I wonder if those who spray special effects are too picky. Of course, there are also people who criticize the small investment and the short shooting cycle... There is no way... Poverty is the original sin.
2. Plot: Those who spray the plot are nothing more than the lack of scenes, the lack of actors, the motives of aliens, and the ending is not fun enough, but the storytelling perspective of this film is originally focused on the ignorant civilians. It shows the helplessness and despair of the common people (and the whole human being from the small to the big) in the face of the catastrophe in the sky, as well as the sigh of love, the delicate flower in hell (the last shot is also a romantic metaphor, although A bit irrational, but still touching). The whole plot is to express these two themes. Those friends who are used to watching a few popcorn movies of the US military beating aliens may not be used to this. As for the small scenes, 1 is because the budget is small, and 2 is because the closed scenes can better show the theme of despair and fear. Similar films include "Dark Invasion", "Another Dimension Killing Array" and "Blair Witch". As for the motives of the aliens, I believe that those who have read Liu Cixin's "Three-Body Problem" will be deeply impressed by the principle of the "dark forest", which uses two self-evident axioms and strict logic to infer that the aliens know that the earthlings After it exists, it must immediately kill all the people on earth, and most of Hawking's warnings are due to the wise man inferring the same result. On such a basis, the actions of the aliens in this film are undoubtedly the most real. Undeclared war and killing you are obvious. What's more, this film was shot from the perspective of civilians. Even if the top level of the Earth Army knows the intentions of the aliens, what can a few ordinary people know? You ask the motivation of the 37-year-old peasant Japanese army in North China? They only know that the robbers are coming, and they want to save their lives and their families. Do they really need to be so clear about the reasons why the aliens killed the people on earth? The ending is a suspense ending. From the few pictures at the end of the film, it can be seen that the male lead leveled a guard and ran with the female lead on his back. Of course, this may be for the sake of the sequel, and the whole healing ending like "War of the World" comes out, but This is too bloody. I still think that the male protagonist is torn apart by the monsters, the female protagonist also hangs up, and mankind perishes. Don't make a sequel, this is the most sci-fi flavor. But since there is a suspense ending, I hope that the director can pull out something in the sequel.
3. Injury: This is the most criticized point, including the following points:
a) The hero's protagonist's halo is too NB, not to mention killing aliens with his bare hands, and finally he can control the alien BB. In fact, there was a foreshadowing before, saying that the male protagonist is a genius brain or something, and then indeed the male protagonist took a few blue light shots, and his body mutated, and there was also a foreshadowing in the building, and his strength increased greatly after the mutation. And in the end, the octopus was killed because the female protagonist dug up the alien's brain battery (the alien's small tentacles glowed, and she opened her mouth to swallow the male protagonist's brain, probably because the battery was almost exhausted, and the female protagonist took the opportunity to chop off the brain inside. ), the male protagonist took the opportunity to tear open the alien's mouthparts, and then exploded the seeds to kill. In fact, I think this design is to emphasize the potential of people in the face of love. Of course, this potential has not been able to reverse the situation, and in the end, it cannot escape the tragedy.
b) The aliens actually use the human brain as a battery? This setting is really nonsense, but it can be broken even if you want to break it. At present, there are two types of harvest theory and soul theory. One is that the aliens in this film are specially designed after fully studying the earthlings. A war machine that can better conquer the earth and adapt to the local environment (that is, the aliens in the film) can better adapt to the earth's environment after absorbing the brains of the earthlings, carry out street fighting and clean human beings. People have become tools of war machines, and this is also the basis for why the male protagonist's brain can directly oppose the customer. Another argument is that aliens feed on the souls of intelligent creatures. Of course, this argument is rather mysterious and not science fiction. I prefer the first argument. In fact, I think there is another possibility, that is, the aliens actually originated from the earth, similar to Liu Cixin's "The Devourer" and "Supporting God", human beings are very suitable for the appetite of aliens, and the aliens are taking The earth acts as a large feedlot, returning periodically to harvest. However, this setting is the same as the aliens wanting the blood of the earthlings in "War of the Worlds". It has no theoretical basis. It is purely to increase the sense of curiosity and horror, and in the last part of the alien spaceship, this setting brings The horror that came was really extreme.
c) Some so-called unreasonable actions of characters are mainly sprayed as follows:
1. The male protagonist is a FC male, and he refuses to take responsibility for his own GF pregnancy. Why did he explode in the end? The male protagonist is also an ordinary person. As he said, he was stunned by the fact that he suddenly became a cheap father. In fact, judging from his loyalty, this person is also a man. , As for the final explosion, one is a genius brain, and the other is multiple mutations by radiation.
2. First, I thought that Xiao Hei was the protagonist, then Xiao Hei hung up, and then I thought Fatty was the protagonist, and Fatty also hung up, and finally the male protagonist exploded. Whose face has the words "protagonist" written on it? Why does a movie have to have an undead protagonist at the end? The unexpected and expected death of the characters highlights the desperate theme of the film, and the director has a good grasp of the rhythm. Except for the slightly bland part of the previous memory, other plots progress quickly, basically It doesn't let the audience rest, and plunges deep into the cycle of hope-despair-hope-and-despair.
3. Why is the US military so mentally handicapped? What about missiles? How come even the individual soldiers were sent in at the end? Don’t forget that the perspective of this film has always been on those few civilians, and the resistance of the US military is also shot from the perspective of civilians. Generally speaking, nuclear bombs are dropped by planes on the second day, either because the missiles are strongly interfered and cannot be accurately guided, or they are intercepted, so the nuclear bombs are dropped by suicide methods (I prefer the director who wants to provide special effects benefits to the audience... ...), then in this way, the purpose of sending individual soldiers in the later stage is also very clear, that is, they hope to provide reconnaissance, or even laser guidance, as in the Battle of Los Angeles. Later, they attacked the aliens to protect themselves after being discovered and to rescue civilians who survived by accident. In fact, from this film, the ideological education and tactical deployment of the US military are quite logical. Take a step back and say, does the US military in this film have the mentally retarded poor aliens in the Battle of Los Angeles? Is there a strange alien computer in "Independence Day" that was finally invaded by the computer virus of the earth people, even the data format and instruction set are set to be the same as those of the earth computer? Is there anyone who can travel thousands of miles to the earth and survive the absolute zero in space, and finally did not survive Megatron, which is dozens of degrees below zero in the Antarctic?
4. A group of people are arguing in the building, hysterical, jumping up and down, and headless flies are generally going east and west for a while. It's not a bad injury, is it? Do you think that civilians are as decisive and strong in the face of the unknown as Rambo, and take out invincible plug-ins? Put yourself in the shoes of yourself, where would you be better off in that environment?
To sum up, this film is the purest sci-fi movie in the movie I watched this year (the 2011 domestic version, which is half a year late, overseas comrades should not spray it). First, it strictly follows the guidelines of sci-fi movies (a fictional one Consistent with the starting point of scientific theory, and then strictly deduce the plot), except for the alien brain sucking and the protagonist's skeleton, there is no controversial thing, all plot development and atmosphere creation are based on reality and fiction The basis of the derivation is deduced, and there is nothing illogical in the derivation process. Second, the most logical result is obtained - the earth's people are completely destroyed (if even this ending is sprayed, there is no way...), and let The audience took it in and experienced the feeling of the earth being invaded and destroyed by aliens. Naturally, this feeling is not very pleasant, which makes the audience who are accustomed to the immortality of the earth a little uncomfortable.
In fact, the biggest flaw of this film is his trailer. Why did it make everyone think it was the main theme film of Chunge fighting aliens like the Battle of Los Angeles? Directly and honestly publicize it as a thriller sci-fi film like an abnormity! ! In order to deceive the public at the box office, he did not hesitate to falsify the trailer, and he was sprayed into slag, and the audience who liked thriller science fiction films was also misled! Isn't this self-inflicted? Deserved!
Finally, as a sci-fi fan who is concerned about the future of mankind, I would like to appeal: under the current knowledge theory, the dark forest theory is the most credible theory to describe the possible actions of aliens to earth people, any attempt and aliens The act of contact is undoubtedly a gamble with extremely high odds on the future of all people on earth. Please don't try to contact aliens!
