The film market after the Spring Festival has always been a low season. Being able to pick the doomsday in a pile of films is aimed at its suspenseful color. Millions of people disappeared in an instant, without where they were. Is there a bigger stalk than this? Screenwriters and directors have too much room to play. I dare say that if you find ten directors to shoot, there will be eleven different stories.

However, it is not a good thing that the composition topic is too open, it is difficult to be brilliant, and it is easy to fall into mediocrity. I personally like the first half. The director used soothing brushstrokes to explain the appearance, personality, and troubles of the characters... In the airport scene, most of the characters appeared, news reporters, female lead college students, flirting captains and flight attendants, Almost all the crazy women who preach that the Lord of the End punishes the world appear in one scene. This is a common method in suspense movies. The audience usually speculates about the relationship between these characters and the next destiny. The director did it from the perspective of attraction. . It can be said that the start is good.

After the captain’s father boarded the plane, the hostess drove his father’s car back home, and after an unpleasant conversation with the saint’s mother, she took the little brother to stroll around Mao, and suddenly the little brother disappeared, and the shopping mall also disappeared in an instant. A lot of people; the scene was cut back to the plane, and a lot of people disappeared in an instant, including babies, old men, fat boys, and the deputy captain. The whole became a disaster film, and the suspense rose sharply. What mysterious force caused all this. The captain calmed the passengers, and accidentally discovered a common trait of these disappeared people. They are all devout Christians, who believe in God and the last days, and only God can save them. Is it really? Isn't it a parallel space, aliens and other science fiction stems? The director must have struggled. It's safe to choose religion. After all, audiences of science fiction subjects are not surprised and can't afford to be interested. However, pure religion is also tasteless. In this entanglement, the suspense of the story has disappeared like those saints. The remaining part is how the plane landed in a thrilling manner. This plot is no longer attractive to the audience. There are too many similar movies. Everyone knows the last. the result of. The only possible bright spot appeared when the heroine boarded the top of the Brooklyn Bridge, trying to talk to her mother who had ascended to heaven. If the director plays here, there may be a turning point. However, the suspense is lost at this point.

There is a thousand Hamlet in the hearts of a thousand people, which proves that the charm of Hamlet itself can be explored and unearthed. However, the screenwriter and director of this film is not Shakespeare, eschatology is a magnificent subject, it is not easy to say it well, even the master can hardly control it. Science fiction, religious heart, perhaps the safest and best combination they can make, they tried their best. Should be able to get 3 stars, as for those friends who scored 1 star, it is too harsh.

At this point, I had a whim, if the captain went back through that space and the disappeared people came back again, how would the story be interpreted?

Who says science is not religion?
