I went to see it after reading Zhihu's recommendation, and it was generally in line with expectations, no surprises or disappointments. Let's talk about the advantages first. The biggest feature of this film is the story structure-reasonable layout and clear coherence; releasing suspense, maintaining suspense, unraveling suspense, every step is just right, making a sci-fi film abruptly shoot the atmosphere of a ghostly suspense drama, It is also really admirable. As for the film's shortcomings, I think it is the characterization. From the protagonist to the role, there is not much difference; if you take out each character list, there is no change from the beginning to the end. The background of the story is actually very suitable for the shaping of the characters' personalities. Only under pressure can human nature be fully exposed. This film has created an atmosphere of despair and depression. The director can use this atmosphere to paint a completely different picture of all beings. However, what we see is a team of thousands of people. Everyone's emotions are synchronized. They fear together, cheer together, and sacrifice their lives together. It is inevitable that people will be disappointed. I still have a problem with the characterization. The male protagonist is a scientist, the female protagonist is from the central government, and the male supporting characters are frontline soldiers. These three background settings are obviously for the purpose of character building. The pit has been marked where it should be dug, but why was it not dug deeper? Is it because the director, screenwriter and producer did not reach a consensus in the end? In addition, as a sci-fi film, this "Netherworld" itself is still a bit logically flawed. For example, a scientist can fiddle with dozens of powerful weapons to crack the enemy's black technology overnight, and this efficiency is probably much better than Tony Stark. However, as an ordinary audience with average scientific literacy, I didn't make such a show. Maybe sci-fi enthusiasts will watch the embarrassment attack. All in all, "Netherworld" is a work worth seeing. However, audiences and friends who prefer the delicate portrayal of characters and the majority of science fiction fans should detour, you will not like it.
