The theme of "The Seventh Son" is a typical Western fantasy. Yes, you can see many familiar fantasy elements in this film: evil dragons, fire magic, witchers, trolls, orcs, warlocks, wizards, magic Amulets, Transfiguration, Skeletons, Evil Spirits and more. More specifically, this film is set in the background of the evil era of witches, telling a story of hunting witches, which can not help but remind people of Nicolas Cage's bad film "Season of the Witch" and a very bad American TV series ". Salem.
The character setting in the film, the male protagonist's ability to often foresee the future is very similar to Cage's bad film "Foreseeing the Future", and his "apprentice and master" relationship with Master Grigory reminds the author of Cage's other A bad movie "The Sorcerer's Apprentice". Facts have proved that Nicolas Cage's title of "King of Bad Movies" is not without reason. His works can frequently become the object of other bad films citing scriptures and paying tribute or even imitating copycats. It is also a very high achievement. Think about how many. Can the works of a "master" get the same treatment?
The most important role of the witch and queen is simply a replica of the role of Angelina Jolie in the 2014 horror movie "Maleficent", and even the plot of her is the same - the abandoned ugly old woman looks for it. An old lover's revenge. In fact, this role is similar to the role of Rachel Weisz in the 2013 super bad film "The Wizard of Oz".
The style and atmosphere of the whole film, like 2014's French bad "Beauty and the Beast", oscillates between romance movies and thriller fantasy movies, and finally they are completely different. But the most bizarre thing is the identity setting of the male protagonist. He is not only the "seventh son", but also the descendant of a witch. He is born with the racial talents of two races, which makes it difficult to distinguish his characteristics from where come. Especially when the title of the film is "Seventh Son", there is nothing in the film that makes people feel that this "Seventh Son" has any special place, even if it is changed to "Sixth Son" and "Fifth Son". There would be the slightest difference, a completely meaningless and existential title.
But this film is not without a little bit of good, at least in terms of visual spectacle and 3D depth of field, it is still commendable, just like the 2013 bad film "Jack the Giant Catcher", although the plot is mentally retarded and simple, but the visual experience and The look is still worthy of the ticket price. From the perspective of the investment scale and visual experience of this film, this film can be classified into the category of "Alien Battlefield" and "Super Battleship": both are A-level big productions, and the visual effects are also good, but unfortunately the film is not bad. side.
Making this film an appetizer for a 2015 fantasy movie is really eye-watering.
