In 2019, various extreme weather hits, and a few sports cars fall down in a while,
Several stacks of banknotes fell down for a while, and several piles of credit cards fell down for a while, so that every household could count the money well and cramp, which seriously endangered their health.
As a result, 17 countries, led by China and the United States, jointly built a weather satellite network that can control the weather. To commemorate the great contributions made by a series of great historical figures such as Huangdi, Cangjie, Shangtang, Laozi, Mozi, etc., the satellite network will be named after their common hometown-Henan Boy.
The founder of Henan Boy is Jack (Gerard Butler),
He professionally saved the president for 100 years, "The White House has fallen" to save the American president, "London has fallen" to save the British president,
(Thanks to netizens for correcting, here "President of the United Kingdom" should be changed to "President of the United States")
"Global Storm" (indirectly) once again saved the President of the United States. At the end of the year, he will save the President of Russia in "The Fall of the Ice Sea."
Looking forward to Gerald Butler and (saving the Jews, saving the wife, saving the daughter, saving the plane passenger, the firetruck passenger) Liam Neeson, and (rescued by Matthew McConaughey, by Jessica Chastain Rescued by Jing Tian) Matt Damon worked together to make a movie.
I thought about the script. Let Matt Damon play the president. He was trapped by aliens, and let Gerald Butler compete with Liam Neeson to see who rescued him first.
In fact, no matter which country Gerald Butler goes to, the president will be kidnapped there, just like Conan will die wherever he goes. Maybe it will be fine if you kill him.
Back to the movie. Jack's little brother Max was unhappy. He fired Jack and took over the Henan boy himself.
I think, compared to Max, someone who also likes to save the world is more like his brother.
Jack didn't like his little brother, and his little brother didn't like him either. They just fought like this for three years.
Finally, the little brother who had been away for three years still came to look for Jack. The first sentence was: "Big brother, God?"
It turned out that extreme freezing weather occurred in the desert of Afghanistan, which caused 35 deaths. Jack needs to go to space to repair the fault.
No wonder everyone says that nature is an artist. It seems that this artist not only likes to play with art, but also likes to play with ice and fire.
As soon as the picture turned, Wu Yanzu appeared in Hong Kong.
I admire his courage and dare to stay in Hong Kong in a disaster film. Obviously he has never seen films such as "Transformers 4", "Super Warship", "Pacific Rim", and he doesn't know that Hong Kong has long been the most dangerous in the world. Hong Kong’s share of natural disasters and man-made disasters are indispensable in the region of China, so that the Bank of China Building has to be rebuilt three, four, five, six, seven or eight times a year after the disaster.
Sure enough, Xiaomi in that era not only sold mobile phones, but also began to repair roads. The concrete floor with its own 16-core processor can directly fry the eggs that fell on the ground.
I saw the sky and the earth crumbled, and tall buildings collapsed like dominoes one after another.
Asking you to speculate in real estate, telling you to speculate in real estate, is now retribution?
And Wu Yanzu drove his car to escape safely. Sure enough, it is the world that looks at the face, so handsome people don't have to die in the face of disaster. I don’t know if someone like me can live to the second episode of acting in a TV series.
Later, Wu Yanzu found out that there were many clues about this incident. He had just agreed to meet with his university classmate Max and was stolen by Han Geng's computer. Edison Chen was almost scammed like this back then.
I am very nervous seeing this. Wu Yanzu's computer has been stolen. Wouldn't his relationship with me be exposed before he got married?
Next, Daniel Wu came to Washington to have an interview with Max. Max said to his girlfriend Sarah across the road: "Let me introduce you. This is Daniel Wu, handsome?"
Sarah: "Ah! Daniel Wu is dead!"
Then Wu Yanzu died.
Don't ask me why he survived the 9th magnitude earthquake, but was hit and killed by a car. After all, the car didn't know Wu Yanzu.
It is worth mentioning that Sarah is the president's bodyguard. Earlier, when Max asked her "If I and the president fall into the water at the same time, who do you save", Sarah chose the president, which made Max feel dissatisfied because he felt that the current US president was so plump and fell into the water. It can float, and there is no need for others to save him.
At the same time, Henan boys were infected with the virus, and natural disasters occurred all over the world, and the extra-large Haagen-Dazs was dropped in Tokyo;
The chocolate-flavored wheat whirlwind of Golden Arch appeared in India;
And Rio de Janeiro began to hang (guā) old Beijing popsicles,
One girl managed to survive after dumping her boyfriend.
Residents all over the world saw free ice cream to eat, and many people ate to their deaths and suffered heavy casualties.
Only mainland China is lucky that no disaster has come because of the smog as a natural barrier, but unfortunately everyone doesn't even know what's happening outside, after all, Facebook and Twitter can't be opened.
In fact, if you watch all the trailers once, you have almost watched all these disaster scenes.
In addition, the Henan boy started a self-destruct procedure.
The self-destruct program of large facilities in science fiction films has always had only one purpose, which is to be used by the villain to deal with the protagonist. So which is the second design of this self-destructing program?
On the other side, Jack and scientist Ut Fassbinder are going to space to get a hard drive. The latter and another person named Fassbinder have also dealt with spacecraft and space for many years.
Unexpectedly, after Jack succeeded, he suddenly began to perform hip-hop with a disagreement, and finally escaped his life from danger. It seems that once people go to space, they are prone to contracting the strange disease of awkward dance.
Jack and Ute watched the 2TB love action movie in the hard drive overnight. They learned a lot of postures. They learned that a 360 antivirus software was installed for Henan Boys, which can be used to eliminate viruses. The only difficulty they face now is to find 360 activation code, and such a noble thing as 360 activation code is undoubtedly a symbol of status, only the president has.
Jack finally found the villain Duncan. Duncan is as stable as the previous villains. Their only role is to fully and completely explain to the protagonist and the audience his motives and process of committing the crime when pointing a gun at the protagonist. , So as to miss the best time to kill the protagonist, and then be successfully killed by the protagonist.
The following plot is still very old-fashioned, the least likely to be the role of the big boss is the big boss.
According to this rule, I had long guessed that when Wu Yanzu was visiting the supermarket, the cat hiding in the refrigerator was the murderer.
It is precisely that it wants to lead the cats to invade the earth, so it instructs the Secretary of State to kill all the presidential candidates, so that it will be the cat's turn to be the president of the United States.
In order to prevent the president from being kidnapped by others, Max and Sarah took the lead in kidnapping the president. It is simply crazy Max.
They fled in a small yellow car,
The little yellow car was blown up by the Secretary of State before he could transform into a Bumblebee. He was not only an undercover agent for the cats, but also an undercover agent sent by Mobike. Unexpectedly, the witty Sarah, Max, and the President were all tricks. The little yellow car was just a bait. They had long been replaced by a Mobike in the middle, and then quietly approached the Secretary of State and arrested him, and then gave Jack the activation code of 360. .
At the end of the story, the Mexican rescued Jack and Ute. What? It was not the Chinese who saved the world? Negative Ratings!
-------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- --------------------
The Chinese have always had a special affection for disaster films, from "The Day After Tomorrow" to "2012", to "Tsunami Miracle", "Doomsday Collapse", and this "Global Storm", we all love it. "Global Storm" and "Blade Runner 2049" were released in China on the same day, but the former was far ahead of the box office.
In general, "Global Storm" is a movie with obvious advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage is of course the visual effects. The apocalyptic sense of crisis gives people a strong impact. The shocks of extreme weather such as hurricanes, landslides, landslides and tsunamis are hard to describe in words.
The movie is divided into two parts: the ground and the space. The story of the two spaces is going on at the same time. Jack is responsible for saving the space, and the younger brother Max is responsible for saving the ground.
Some of these clips are still very impressive. For example, Hong Kong's surface cracks, high-rise buildings collapse, and Zheng Long, played by Daniel Wu, flees in a car in a super earthquake. It is not difficult to see that this is a tribute to "2012".
Another example is the song of ice and fire written in the Afghan desert, huge hail in Japan, rapid freezing of Brazilian waves, airplanes falling from the sky, Indian tornadoes, sudden temperature rise in Russia, melting buildings and other fragments are amazing enough, and Jack and Ute survived the explosion of the space station, reminiscent of "Gravity." The whole movie is a combination of "The Day After Acquired" and "The Martian".
At the same time, the shortcomings of the movie are also obvious.
First of all, there is still a gap between this film and epic giants such as "2012". The production cost of "2012" was 200 million US dollars. "The production cost of "2012" is 120 million U.S. dollars, which is almost half of "2012". Therefore, it is obvious that there are not many disaster clips in "Global Storm", and most of them are storytelling.
In the disaster film, the visual effect of "Global Storm" is at the upper-middle level, but if you watch this movie with the mentality of watching "2012", you have to lower your expectations.
In fact, "The Day After Acquired" and "2012" are the best in disaster films, not only because of their visual impact, but also because of their humanistic spirit.
In "The Day After Tomorrow", people's true feelings in front of the disaster are moving. The images of the flag freezing and the Statue of Liberty extinguishing are quite shocking.
In "2012", the bridge where the Tibetan bell-ringer was swallowed by huge waves and the car was traveling in the collapse of the sky also made tears in the eyes.
As for "Global Storm", it is relatively lacking in this respect. Most of the shocks it brings to the audience are superficial, and there is not much spiritual shock.
In the past, most of the disaster films called on the audience to be in awe of nature and advocate environmental protection. "Global Storm" took another route. It attributed the blame for the Dutch boy's failure to human operations, and villains were made globally. The purpose of the bad weather is to seek power and usurp the throne, it is for one's own official career.
This kind of treatment is innovative compared with previous disaster movies, but the exploration of human nature, workplace, and politics is not deep enough. The blackening of the villain is too abrupt and there is no reasonable spread. It feels that the person closest to the protagonist is forced to be the villain. , To achieve the unexpected effect of the audience. If he is fully prepared and portrayed for his criminal motives and character experience, then the role of this character may be more successful.
Moreover, the villain feels a little anticlimactic. At first, he was very powerful and used endless methods, but he was discouraged later and was beaten by the protagonist every minute. The villain had previously devised various conspiracies, which seemed to be very superb, but the protagonist was relieved of the crisis easily. In this way, you will feel that the protagonist won not because the protagonist is strong, but the villain is too weak.
In addition, the movie also has many logical loopholes. For example, the opposition planted a virus to the Dutch boy, taking the opportunity to cause global natural disasters, and then even launched the Dutch boy's self-destructing program. Such plot arrangements are very slothful. point.
When people create Dutch boys, they should consider that they may be used by bad guys, and there should be corresponding preventive measures. Therefore, the script has a lot of room for improvement. For example, the Dutch boy has multiple security protections, while the villain continues to collapse, and the protagonist continues to strengthen protection, so that the plot will not be too dull and boring.
And why the founder wants to add the self-destruct program to the Dutch boy is also very doubtful. Even if the Dutch boy makes a mistake, he should not self-destruct, otherwise it will become space junk. On the contrary, it will be used by the villain. In other words, the self-destruct program is possible from the beginning. A time bomb for the villain.
The whole movie can be said to be 2 hours of plot and 10 minutes of special effects. We must admit that the special effects part is really amazing, but other times it is boring, and the cold humor that pops out from time to time is not interesting enough, and various disasters such as high temperature, extreme cold, tornadoes, etc. happen in different countries and regions. Unconnected, it is not shocking enough compared to films such as "2012" and "Doomsday Collapse", which are progressive and increasing disasters.
In 2012, "2012" was converted into a 3D version and only released in China. This motivation is not simple.
Coincidentally, "Global Storm" is cold in North America, and the Chinese market may become a life-saving straw.
The film began to be released globally on October 12, and in North America on October 20. As of October 27, the North American box office was only 17 million U.S. dollars. As a sub-A-level production with an investment of more than 100 million U.S. dollars, the film’s box office was only a week It is one-seventh of the cost. In the future, North America will continue to release popular movies such as "Thor 3" and "Justice League". This set of disaster movies.
The "Dutch Boys" weather network in the movie was jointly created by 17 countries, but the main countries mentioned in the movie are only China and the United States. You can even find that the movie posters are all in Shanghai, and there are many scenes in the movie in Hong Kong, and Chinese movie star Wu Yanzu joined, all signs indicate that the movie has a tendency to please Chinese audiences.
Of course, if it is purely for watching special effects, "Global Storm" is still worth the price; but for demanding audiences, it is not worth spending 2 hours to watch disaster scenes that add up to only 10 minutes.
