First of all, the picture can only be described as "impeccable", which of course is measured by the current level. As a pseudo-old player who has played games for more than ten years, basically 90% of the CGs of world-renowned manufacturers and studios have been watched, and "Sword of Kings" can indeed be called the top. From the texture of the clothes and buildings to the skin and hair of the characters, you can see the degree of fineness. You can easily see the hair and even the capillaries of the characters in the close-up. Of course, the translucent physical effect of the skin may be too much pursued, the heroine. The skin of the game looks too blown and it can be broken; the overall picture makes me fully feel the power of global illumination and ambient light occlusion, which makes many scenes enough to be fake and real, especially compared to "The Advent of the Son". Obviously, the lighting effect of "The Advent of the Son" is obviously weaker than that of "Sword of the King", so although the texture of "The Advent of the Son" is also very good, it will tell you physiologically - this is fake. So just from the quality of the CG movie picture, I personally think that the full score of "Sword of the King" is not an exaggeration (please ignore me if you are white).
After complimenting, I have to talk about some shortcomings. It is undeniable that the picture quality is really not picky, but there is still a lack of enthusiasm in the shaping of some big scenes. First of all, in the part where the male protagonist and the general are fighting, the special effects are in place, but it always makes people feel that they lack the expressiveness of the picture, and there is a feeling that they cannot be used powerfully. It is very embarrassing to watch. In the end, Claude zoomed in and moved to KO Sephiroth, which is really not shocking enough; the last "Old City Wall" VS Demon is a very shocking duel in itself, but the overall picture processing is messy, it was originally dark tones, which made the background and the main body. It's a pot of porridge, and it's unbearable to watch...
As a "game trailer", I think "Sword of the King" can get full marks, but it is a movie, and if it is a movie, I have to say its skeleton— - The plot is over.
Personally, I think "Sword of Kings" is barely passable in terms of the plot. The most touching thing about "Sword of Kings" is that it finally gave up the problem of pretending to be in the Final Fantasy series. The noun and then use all kinds of obscure explanations to promote the problem of the plot, which is especially obvious in "The Advent of the Son", so I remember that the media gave "The Advent of the Son" the label of "absurd", it is true, Comrades who haven't played the game can't understand why watching "The Advent of the Son". Fortunately, "Sword of Kings" has tended to be normal at least in the screenwriting area, and can explain the plot clearly.
However, although the story is well told, there are still too many points to complain about in the plot. Let's talk about the main line first. Although the story is clearly explained above, it really seems to be very backboned and weak. It feels like the routine of a standard assembly line popcorn movie. There is really not much value for pondering. There are also many flaws in the plot. First of all, others suddenly retreated after the army was overwhelmed. Then I talked about the treaty. Since you King Lucis knew that the treaty was not signed, it was considered a war. Keep your life-saving crystals well! I can see that I am very anxious, there are only a few security guards... The weapons are especially close combat... This is simply incomprehensible. Then the mutiny of the King's Sword Team is also very abrupt. It stands to reason that since the King's Sword team directly accepts the power of the king, it is the Royal Forest Army, and its loyalty is too poor, because the hometown has become an enemy-occupied area and then the country Rebellion without the ability? ? This reason is too hard, hard wound. The anti-government armed forces are also angry with their sense of existence. It is estimated that the screenwriter wants to highlight the internal and external troubles of Lucis. The amateur anti-government organization with only a few people is simply cooperating with the imperial gods. It's almost comparable to "London Has Fallen". Without the cause and effect, it really makes people feel a pain in the egg, and finally gave the anti-government trash fish a forced "freedom" irony, which is also hard! too hard! !
Let's talk about a few characters. The mage girl was originally a character I liked very much. Then he died later. In fact, if it was to promote the plot, it would be fine. After reading the cause and effect, the death of the mage sister was only to cause some suspense atmosphere in the early stage. It was too painful. The bento makes people feel like they have eaten flies. Then there is the characterization of the captain, my God, this is completely telling the audience: Well, this is an undercover ~~ powerless to complain, too facial, it makes people feel very blunt. Let's talk about the king, the character's personality is not bad, and the feeling of being strong and steady is in place, but I don't know if it is because of "the kingdom of one person", the old king's political sensitivity is too low in the performance of the plot. As a result, the empire later succeeded easily, and the old king had to carry the pot, but considering that the old king could not resist for a few years, it is understandable to slack off in his mentality, but the obvious hook of "saving the princess" is too late. Guarantee. Many people criticize the old king's last line of defense for not protecting himself. I think this is reasonable. That thing can only be protected for a while. It's still life-threatening to go out. The old king already knows that it's not enough, so let's force a wave of apology with death, too. Very tragic.
Let's talk about the heroine, a very lovable character. Although the screenwriter is suspected of forcibly becoming the center of the storm, the character is very brilliant, and it can be regarded as the representative of the "future" of this work. Although I don't know the future after reading it. What... Like the male protagonist, the role is not easy to analyze, it is purely to please the audience, a typical positive character.
Overall, this is an extreme movie with obvious advantages and disadvantages. Considering its particularity, I will give it a 4-star evaluation. It is highly recommended for people who are interested in emerging computer CG technology to watch, but for those who like to scrutinize movies. Don't talk too much about its plot, after all, this is a trailer, and you squint manually
