is adapted from the works of Stephen King, a best-selling horror novelist, and tells the story of several friends who used the super powers acquired as a teenager to fight against aliens when they grew up.
It’s a pity that this film is a modest work in Stephen King’s adaptations, compared to the famous "Shawshank's Redemption", "The Shining", "The Green Mile", "Witch Carrie", "1408 Phantom and Murder", and the use of the MH370 incident. And the famous "Time and Space Crack" is indeed a different grade. The film is like a collection of many other films, the environment is like "Ten Days in Crisis", the characters are like "The Mist", the scenes are like "World War", and the alien image is like "Alien". This film is not a pure sci-fi horror drama. There are many flashbacks and consciousness scenes inserted in the middle, plus the element of super power, the overall feeling is nondescript. The film has all the elements but lacks prominent points. Science fiction fans will not be satisfied, horror fans will not be satisfied, suspense fans will not be satisfied, and brother movie fans will not be satisfied. Some details are unreasonable. For example, can an alien spacecraft still be unable to withstand the firepower of three Apaches.
It is said that this is the first work since Stephen King’s "Three-Self" policy. Although I have not read the original work, I have learned a thing or two through the film, and I am not interested in reading it.
For audiences who have not seen Stephen King’s work, this film is not a good initial attempt. You can learn about the author’s style through other adaptations.
