On the bottom of the South China Sea, there is a submarine mountain range. The canyon is deep enough to fill the Himalayas. It is so deep that humans and machines have not even reached (reached); for centuries, countless large and small ships and huge ships have disappeared here. Leave any traces; how they disappeared is still a mystery.
After the above is regarded as the "introduction" of the film, the film lens uses the subjective vision of the "behemoth" from the first perspective to directly lead the audience into the "combat benefits" left by "it" in its deep-sea field after eating away the whale. Countless, large and small ships, or huge ships, are all in the endless abyss, becoming the behemoth that is the "protagonist" at the beginning, just rusty for a long time. The beginning of this movie is extremely arrogant. Tebi (don’t) is like a completely “immersive” movie-watching experience of “virtual reality technology”. As frightened by the monsters of Yan Yousu, while the real body has been "revealed", it left people with a curious feeling of "unseen". Then after the horrible and tense music is rendered, the "Deep Rising" swimming film name logo appears, and then the shot is almost seamlessly connected to a small ship galloping fast on the harsh sea with thunder and lightning. The soundtrack now has It's somewhat of the passion of "humans", and it contrasts sharply with the unpredictable rapid and reverberating uneasy vibrations in the unfathomable ocean "black hole" at the beginning of the film. The film set a "fast-paced" narrative tone from the beginning, and the rhythm is quite smooth.
This movie can be regarded as a kind of sci-fi horror and thriller that was introduced by China earlier and was "not suitable for children", which is regarded as a "B-level film", and it was broadcast on CCTV's movie channel without cutting. It’s unbelievable, because the corpses of the sea of blood in the mountain of corpses in this film are broken by the claws of the deep sea monster with "independent perception and digestive system". The dead "mercenary" supporting actor hastily escaped into the bathroom and sat alone on the toilet seat. The Asian guests who thought they could "evade a catastrophe" ended up being devoured by monsters with brutal claws. It was a bloody scene. The taste is rich, and the extreme killing scenes emerge endlessly with the standard "horror and horror".
And " Stephen Sommers ", who has filmed the adventure series of "The Mummy" , has rendered the film’s horror atmosphere and controlled the suspenseful content. It has also shown that it has become mature and expressive as "art". For example, when the movie crashed to the bottom of the cabin, the elevator door was suddenly knocked open. After all the panicked people fell out of the elevator, after the nervousness caused by the out-of-control elevator has not been relieved, suddenly What catches the eye is the scene of the dead passenger ship passengers being sucked into flesh and blood corpses by monsters! And some other supporting characters are dizzy and inadvertently holding on to the wall full of human blood, making the sound of "Zi", which is also a feeling of empathy, but also a little bit of "black humor." In the movie, the protagonist "Finnigan", who has always been wary of the other side, and the "mercenary leader" who more or less represent the "Asian" in the film, after waking up, briefly "cooperated" in this clip. , Holding a weapon, tiptoeing cautiously in the direction of the abnormal noise, slowly walking, and at the same time be careful of the broken limbs and the horrible flesh and blood remaining in the soft tissues of the human body. The "horror aesthetics" has reached a small peak. I personally like this paragraph.
Although there are many similar shots in this film, I feel that it is not particularly overkill. The protagonists of this film and the middle and later part of the scene are in the cruise hall, which has become the "excretion ground" of the corpse monsters, and witnessed the laughter and laughter. In the center of the hall, there are the fragments of the once-lived scenes swallowed by monsters, which are also classic shots of this film. In the face of such a horrible scene, even the “Asian” mercenary boss “Hanover”, who has always been capable and calm, did not tremble. These clips can be regarded as " Stephen Sommers/Stephen Sommers ", that is, a bloody single-handed approach, while at the same time, they show some excellent manifestations of their relaxed and violent level.
I have to mention that the mercenaries in this movie, or the supporting gangs of "bandits", are also outstanding in character. Although it is not really a "masterpiece of art" in this movie, it is definitely called " The sci-fi horror movies of "the mainstream of cult," the performance is very flesh and blood-there are constant talks but accidentally being chopped to death by the sinister captain who is overwhelmed, and I want to have a period in every country/city on the earth map." The gangster of "Aventure" (this guy is one of the worst deaths) was quite aura at the beginning of the film, but at such a critical moment, he admits to the black soldiers who "was scared to pee on their pants", etc., etc. The supporting roles of this "Extreme Chill" are basically in this B-rated movie, which has limited time, limited content and impossible performance. Personally, I feel that it has played a role of "aggregation". Including the "long-haired man" that some fans don't like-"Pantussi", he did give full play to the "comedy" embellishment in this extremely oozing monster movie. It's just that this character is indeed a bit noisy, and he is too "light bulb".
Naturally, I think anyone who has watched this movie will find the "Phoenix Girl" in the "X-Men" series-" Famke Janssen ", right? In this movie, she played the heroine who was responsible for the murder, but still "does her own way". It is also the remarkable image of a vase in this movie, which brought the male protagonist several times. Important helping role. It's also funny. But to be honest, the more outstanding supporting role in this movie is the unpredictable "Captain"—Simon Canton and the mercenary boss who was hired by him who wanted to loot the cruise ship— "Hannover". These two characters are the more predictable characters in this monster movie. They were originally a "contractual relationship", right? But I didn't expect that this "drama" gave birth to a "sea behemoth" that no one expected, and directly defeated "Captain" Simon Canton's "deception plan". , And "Hannover" also died in the mouth of the beast. The scene in which this character was sucked by the monster's claws was also extremely cruel, and it was very colorful.
Well, after writing the above content that I personally think this film is considered "excellent", I will add that it seems that not many fans have talked about it. The real "main role" of this film is called "Ao". OTTOIA" bar. Yes, since it is a sci-fi horror purely based on "sea monsters", the "protagonist" of this movie is actually the monster from the "first animal perspective" at the beginning of the film. In fact, this "monster" ", it really "existed", its scientific name was called-"OTTOIA", but the size of this creature is not so similar to the "octopus" in this sci-fi horror movie. It is "Monster", but it is not a complete "mini-creature", but it is not a "fish", but a kind of "worm", but it grows in ancient times where even mammals did not appear. It was about the Cambrian period, the South China Sea Deep Sea Grand Canyon and other places. It is just exaggerated in this "Extreme Chill" as a "giant" similar to the "Cthulhu Mythology" system. In my opinion, it can be regarded as a certain "combination of Chinese and Western". And the Chinese flavor of this film, or Asian feel, is still quite strong; "Pantussi"'s "Korean Girlfriend", the interpretation of the "Japanese Taiko" oriental percussion instrument on the cruise ship, of course, there is also this happening. In the background of the "South China Sea" region, etc. When I watched this movie when I was a child, I didn't think so much. When I re-watched this movie later, I was somewhat...awkward about these vague "Oriental elements". To be honest, my heart said: "How can the South China Sea allow a group of western bandits of unknown origin to travel so unimpeded? There is also this ancient monster from China's'native and native'. Why didn't China shoot it? This is not a good one too. Science fiction theme?"
Hmm...I admit that the above thoughts are only fleeting. This kind of movie, these contents, are all "joy", just laugh it off. Finally, I will present the real "image" of this "monster" that has become a "fossil specimen" in reality. Those who are interested can refer to it.
