Cult films refer to films with unique shooting techniques, weird themes, lopsided swords, unusual styles, strong personal opinions, controversial, and usually low-cost productions that are not market-oriented. In short, it is a film that belongs to a non-mainstream field but can be popular among certain young people. Another feature of it is the diversification of genres: violent films, sci-fi films, horror films, black comedies, western films, experimental films, and other films that advertise alternative and uncompromising slogans can all become Cult films.

In fact, the plot of this movie has nothing to do with its name, but one of the heroes of the plot is called "John". The name also reflects the nonsensical aspects of the movie.
As the first American movie in 2013, this movie released on January 1 is characterized by its nonsensical nature.
The whole movie does not have much success, it is destined to be a box office movie.
There are a few laughs in the movie, but the burden is not big, and it can only make the corners of the mouth rise.
There are a few commendable bloody scenes in the movie, but for a heavy taster who has always watched zombie movies, these bloody scenes are nothing.
In terms of plot, I only understood half of this movie after seeing it. There are some neurotic scenes in the first half of the movie, which makes people a little uncomfortable to watch. The protagonist and the virus in the back merged perfectly, ending his neuroticism, and this feeling improved.
Summary: It's
not easy to be so nonsensical but to be able to calm down and watch the entire movie.
Another:
This movie is also a traversal drama.
The plots of the celestial traversal dramas are always based on traversing to ancient times (the ancient times are mostly in the Qing Empire), while the American traversing dramas often have the concept of "parallel space". Traveling to the "parallel space" as the background, including the famous "Back to the Future Trilogy", while traveling through time, it also carries the concept of space travel.
In short, the traversal dramas of the celestial dynasty are "traversal in time", while most of the traversal dramas in the United States are "traversal in space."
This may be because the United States has only a history of more than 200 years, so there is nothing good to shoot across time; while the Celestial Dynasty has five thousand years up and down, and there is a lot of room for development.
