A masterpiece that was dragged down by the gangster

The sequel did not live up to the IP of the first one, and in my personal opinion, it is much better than the first one.

The shooting method is still the continuation of the success of the previous work. The advantage of the first-person perspective is that the sense of substitution is very strong, and the disadvantage is that it will greatly reduce the appearance of the actors (laughs).

In terms of plot, the routine of strange power and chaos is completely abandoned, and the authenticity is greatly enhanced. There are many twists in the plot, and the sense of suspense is very good. The emotional line of the male and female protagonists drags down the rhythm a bit, but it doesn't hurt. The characters have different personalities, and their different behaviors in the face of crisis are mostly logical. The atmosphere is created very well, and there is obviously a deeper sense of powerlessness and despair in the later part of the movie than in the previous work. The final ending is very scary, although the blood level is not high, but the horror degree is quite good.

I have roughly looked at the negative reviews on the Internet, and most of them are true from the perspective of technology. I think this is a bit tricky. First of all, isn't the greatness of top hackers lies in the black technology that surpasses the knowledge level of ordinary people? If measured by the limitations of known technology, the firewall of the military or police is impeccable in reality, but there are still top hackers who find loopholes and hack in. Furthermore, this is a movie, not a news report or a documentary, and there is artistic creation in itself. You can't demand it too much according to common sense in reality, otherwise, which of the so-called sci-fi disaster films can be established?

From a rational point of view, I think this is a good movie worth watching.

    My irritability about the low IQ of the male protagonist and the group of friends and various bugs finally reached its peak when I saw the villain use PS to make head-changing special effects on the video screen as evidence. An urban legend that has been branded too strongly by the times. The core crisis of this story, you don't even need to unplug the network cable and turn off the computer, just cover the camera. Of course, the screenwriter also knows that, so infinitely empowers the villain offline, but this dispels the tension and suspense of the confrontation game. The audience understands that they all have to die too early, and it depends on how stupid they die. Death is coming to you I also know that they will die, but the point of death itself is not whether the protagonist will die, but how to die. In terms of the subtlety and persuasiveness of the settings, the death is much stronger than this; secondly, it weakens the original setting that the crisis comes from the Internet. , just a random massacre by a secret society draped in the dark web. In the second half of the process, each wave of exaggeration shows the screenwriter's weakness and poor skills. It's a pity, and a good idea was wasted.

    After reading it, delete it immediately and empty the recycle bin. It would be a bit uncomfortable to put such a thing in the computer.
