The LOGO of Legendary Pictures is like a magnet, always attracting sci-fi fans. At the end of 2016, when sci-fi masterpieces gathered together, whether the "Netherworld" produced by the old sci-fi legend could bring the year to a successful end has attracted much attention. However, after watching the whole film, I feel as if I have finally squeezed into a famous family. In a nightclub, I drank a glass of boiled water and watched the square dance for a while.
The scene setting of the film is destined to be a small "blockbuster": the world is alive Lei Feng The United States once again somehow intervenes in the civil war of a small Eastern European country (oh sorry, it hasn't reached that level yet, it should be an internal conflict, the scale is about the same in a scaled-down version of Kosovo), and a city in a part of the battlefield is the whole scene. In fact, except for a few large CG scenes, the depth of field of the exterior has never exceeded a street, and most of the whole story takes place indoors.
At the beginning, a soldier who was left alone (in the following plot, we learned that this gentleman is the elite among the elites. As for how the elites got left behind... Let’s use the battlefield to explain complicatedly), the elite brother art The master was daring, completely disregarding the headquarters' instructions to stay where he was, and went deep into a dim building alone. After walking past several corpses, he successfully found one invisible to the naked eye at the end of the dim passage and could only use electronic protection. What the eyepiece saw, glowing white light in a vaporized state...uh...ghost? (What about sci-fi?) The ghost strode through the elite brother's body, and the elite brother was stunned.
The camera moves to the United States, and the protagonist appears. After our protagonist, Dr. Dr., completely smashed and vaporized a piece of ice with a ray, he sternly rejected the in vivo experiment proposed by the military personnel who came to observe, on the grounds that he was only used for defense equipment, and the ray was only used to vaporize the opponent. the source of water, to force the opponent to surrender, rather than shoot the opponent's personnel. (God is above, I really don't know which is more inhuman between "pulling a hole in the opponent's head" and "turning the opponent's territory into a Sahara" Some.) In short, our protagonist succinctly explains to the audience that he is an honest scientist who can't bear to kill and, uh, a weapons maker. If you still have any visions of what role this ray will play in the film, sorry, this ray is limited to proving that Mr. Doctor is an optical expert. Soon, our doctor was told to leave the Rays alone and go to Eastern Europe to help.
The scene turned back to the battlefield. The confused Mr. Doctor and a group of reinforcements landed at the theater airport. They met the theater commander and the CIA female agent. After watching the last video left in the goggles of the elite brother, the doctor decided to Following the front-line troops to go deep into the battlefield to explore the truth of the "ghost", the female agent proposed to go with him. In order to capture better images, the doctor installed a huge optical camera on the military armored vehicle by himself. Note that he was alone, and in order to make room for the installation of the camera, the doctor also dismantled the original vehicle-mounted M2 machine gun. What? It is the combination of theory and practice, and the doctoral brother has made a model. Of course, the troops could not just take pictures of the "ghosts". The main purpose of this trip was to rescue the U team that was besieged by the enemy. The troops arrived at the target building in an armored vehicle, and the soldiers rushed into the building quickly, but only found dead bodies all over the ground, including enemy troops and their own. After searching, the "only" survivor was finally found under an upside down bathtub (this quote will be explained later), the survivor said that their U team was attacked by "ghosts", no one was spared, and they survived by hiding under the bathtub . At this time, many "ghosts" attacked, and the soldiers fired back but found that it was completely ineffective (inevitable). For a while, the corpses were everywhere. After the pursuit, he was almost wiped out in mid-air. The surviving brother fell from the position on the second floor to the platform on the first floor, then fell to the ground and was put into an armored vehicle (how much the director hated him) and survived again. The crowd retreated in haste in two armored vehicles, and landmines hit the road again, causing the two vehicles to overturn. After counting the casualties, it was found that the front driver was all hung up, most of the people in the car were fine, and the surviving brother who was chased by the "ghost" and fell off the building was fine, just because of a rollover and hung up. Useful information did not say, hung up.
The "ghost" chased after him again, and everyone abandoned the car and fled in a hurry. In a hurry, the doctor still did not forget to remove the camera on the roof of the car and take it away. A group of people and others entered a nearby steelmaking factory. There was a circle of iron filings around the factory. The ghost stopped chasing, and the doctor and others were temporarily safe. The people who got a breather tried to contact the headquarters, but found that the radio was damaged. At this time, an uncle with an Asian face came out of the team. He called himself the signal soldier of the U team. What? Where did you come from?! When did you come?! Survival brother, come alive and explain?). The female agent suffered a slight head injury in the rollover accident and was dumbfounded. The sergeant who led the team kindly excused her: "She was just frightened." (Brother, is she a CIA field agent? How many people died when the car rolled over? I was terrified, the name of CIA will cry?) On a whim, the doctor flipped the circuit of the camera and converted it into a long-wave projection lamp (hands-on ability has evolved again, and it can be done without tools), and illuminated in the projection lamp. Next, the "ghosts" showed their bodies, and I saw a white mist-shaped human figure surrounding the factory! (Is he still a ghost?!) The ghosts wanted to attack, but they were entangled by iron filings on the ground and could not enter. The doctor pointed out that these iron filings were deliberately placed, so the atmosphere was tense, and the soldiers began to search the inside of the factory.
I found the door of an office on an unknown floor. Just as I was about to open the door, intense fire was fired from the door. Fortunately, no one was injured. When the soldiers threw flash bombs and rushed through the door, they found that there were only two brothers and sisters around seven or eight years old hugging each other in the house, looking at them with big, terrified eyes, and throwing an empty AK47 on the ground... .. (Not to mention how such a small child uses a large recoil AK to light up a shuttle of bullets, and the two children are not ordinary people without blinking even if they are hit by a flash bomb! Captain, shoot!) The female agent of Soy Sauce finally had a role to play. As a translator, she communicated with the two children. It turned out that the iron filings outside the factory were sprinkled by the children's father. The doctor believed that this person must be an insider and insisted on interviewing him. Helpless, the little girl took the female agent and the doctor to another room. There was a corpse lying in the room. The little girl said that this was their father, who was killed while throwing iron filings outside. The younger brother didn't know yet.. .... (This father has 160 pounds no matter how you look at it. How did a little girl move him in? He can use AK again, and he is not afraid of flash bombs... shoot it, captain!)
At this time, the unidentified Asian uncle reported that he had found the factory's radio and could contact the headquarters. After the phone call, the doctor and others agreed with the headquarters for a rescue gathering place, and the doctor also informed the headquarters of the ghost situation and the method of making the searchlight. In order to reach the gathering place, everyone decided to break out of the siege. The doctor pointed out that iron filings seemed to have a blocking effect on ghosts and should be equipped with weapons. So the soldiers found N glass cans from the factory and filled them with iron sand for self-defense. The collective MAX of hands-on ability. (It’s okay to remove the grenade detonating device and put it on the can as a grenade. Put the can into the N320 grenade gun and use it as a grenade? I don’t read much, so you’re lying to me!) Ahem, in short, after arming, everyone brings Break through with two siblings.
After untold hardships, I finally arrived at the assembly place and welcomed the support troops sent by the headquarters, but many ghosts also followed. The ghosts killed people, and even the tanks were smashed into pie. In the chaos of the army, the younger brother of the two siblings also died unfortunately. Seeing that the entire army was destroyed, everyone was about to take a break. In an emergency, the Osprey plane that was responding dropped from the sky. The ghosts were temporarily suppressed by the wind pressure. The doctors took the opportunity to run on the plane and escape. (Osprey, you came a little earlier, and the brothers below didn't die so badly.)
During the flight, the doctor learned that the combat headquarters had also fallen, and would rush to the shelter. In the sanctuary, everyone felt desperate about the battle situation, and the doctor finally revealed the true face of the ghost after not very difficult thinking: Bose-Einstein Condensed Matter, hereinafter referred to as Bose. (At this point, many hard science fiction fans should have left the stage collectively.) To generate so many Bose requires a lot of energy, and a nearby nuclear power plant is fully qualified, and the female agent also took out photos to prove that the power plant has long been used as a Weapon research and development (why did you go earlier?), everyone decided to raid the nuclear power plant, success or failure is here! Knowing the true face of the enemy, it is natural to have corresponding weapons, and the doctor's optical expertise can be brought into play (the opening ray-kun, rest in peace~), using the parts found from the materials, quickly assemble enough for the entire commando. A large number of ray guns (hands-on ability god-level evolution). After the uninspiring pre-war mobilization of the theater commander, the commandos arrived at the nuclear power plant. The soldiers fought to the death with many Bose, while the doctor and the female agent took the opportunity to sneak into the core of the power plant.
The doctor and the female agent finally reached the core area and found a large number of Bose used for experiments. They also learned about the process of Bose manufacturing. It turns out that each Bose is copied from a living person, and the core area is where Bose is made. assembly line. After several tossing and turning, the two found the main console. The doctor asked the female agent to translate the closing method on the control panel. The female agent said that half of the words on it she did not recognize... (What the hell are you doing here? Are you Ling Lingqi sent by the CIA? Where is Da Vinci?) The doctor estimated that the psychological shadow area was too large, so he had no choice but to ask what the other half wrote. The female agent recognized it as a detailed closing method, and there are more details. The animation diagram of , even the mentally handicapped can understand the animation diagram.... (What is the other half? How to open it?) The doctor climbed up the console with difficulty and dismantled the connections one by one, and the troops fighting outside were gradually unable to support Live, and a large number of Bose poured out to the two doctors! At the critical moment, the doctor finally pulled down the last lever, and the Bose stayed in place and dissipated with the wind...
Just when they thought that the flowers were scattered, the doctor and the female agent found many cabinets, and each cabinet contained a complete human brain and all nerves. The doctor found that these "people" between life and death are those Bose prototype, he decided to let these people rest in peace. When the doctor was about to unplug these people's life support tubes, the female agent finally remembered her duty, stopped the doctor, and reminded the doctor that these were the purposes for which she was sent. The doctor only said a few words about the value of life indifferently, and the female agent gave up the task and pulled out the tube with the doctor... (The name of the CIA has been crying faintly in the toilet), these imprisoned lives finally got Relief... The scene returns to the shelter, the war zone commander bids farewell to the doctor with the female agent and the little girl who was rescued before, and the doctor embarks on the plane home, ending, scattered flowers.
Overall, this is a film with top-notch visuals, a mediocre plot, and a terrible cast. The director has completely failed in character creation. He has added contradictions several times but has been inexplicably cancelled halfway through. Every character has almost no character, even the male and female protagonists are no exception. In terms of actors, the male lead's performance is quite satisfactory but not brilliant, and some areas that should show strong emotions are not strong enough; the female lead can only be described as "collapse", she has been playing soy sauce throughout the whole chapter, and all the rare highlights are also smashed. , Wenxi is like a puppet, and martial arts is like a frightened housewife. I don't know what happened to Emily, who has a good reputation in her performance; many supporting roles... Forget it. In terms of the plot, the main line of the narrative is decent, and the concept of "Bose-Einstein Condensed Matter" as a military biochemical weapon is not a bad idea. It's a pity that the screenwriter's homework is obviously insufficient, and there are many obvious mistakes in science. Since If you want to go the hard science fiction route, you still have to get the basic scientific knowledge right. The details of the plot are simple and rude, full of loopholes, and almost copying "Source Code" at the end is the biggest failure. In terms of visuals, after all, it is a work created by Legend, which continues Legend's consistently well-made style, which is almost impeccable. If one mistake counts as a BUG, then this movie is an aggregate of countless BUGs, which is quite commensurate with the principle of "Bose-Einstein condensed matter".
