The overall feeling is that the plot is blunt and deliberate, and the special effects and graphics are okay

It is much worse than the first one, the meaning is too deliberate, and many lines feel unnatural at all. Crazy primitives meet civilized people and influence civilized people. It feels as if they are expressing the encounter between the low-level people in modern society and the rich, and they are moved by the rich. There is a feeling of expressing for the sake of expression. The changes in the attitudes of the characters in the movie are also not smooth, from the conflict between civilization and primitiveness to the transition from understanding. The plot and the theme that I want to express are too clichéd, and they almost directly transfer the issue of modernization to the civilized people of primitive society, destroying the environment, lonely, away from nature, hypocrisy and pretending to be sincere... In addition, the translation feels not very relevant to the movie background, and the name and idiom have the style of Internet buzzwords, but it feels very strange. Because the plot is not good, although the pictures and special effects are OK, but the whole thing is not involved or enjoyable.

Briefly talk about the comparison with the first part, so as not to be considered as deliberate spray

Many of the so-called imaginations in the second part are made of modern things with ancient effects, elevators, showers, saunas, perfumes... modern problems, environmental destruction, loneliness, separation of man and nature... Modern concepts, privacy...it’s okay, but it’s too simple to move, and it doesn’t feel like primitive people... The conflicts brought about by these simple removals have become the main line of the whole story, and it’s hard not to be artificial. It is difficult to have a smooth connection.

Over the years, I can still remember the content of the first book, which truly imagined the fear of human ancestors in the unfamiliar world, the curiosity and surprise of new things, and gradually learned to take the initiative to explore. The important human event that may have been tens of thousands of years turned into the growth history of the Guru family, smooth and full. The Guru family went from hiding in caves tremblingly, alertly facing any wind and grass, to receiving covers, looking for new worlds, they invented shoes-primitive shoes, found fire, how amazed human beings when they first discovered these tens of thousands of years ago , The imagination of the movie puts ourselves in the place, makes us feel immersive... The Guru family has gone from being complacent to truly using human innate wisdom to find new ways to solve problems. It doesn’t need to be innovative. Today’s people can also feel that they should be like human beings. Since the birth, I have continued to use my wisdom creatively...

From the content of the second part, I think it can get a three-star or three-and-a-half stars, but I feel that lazy handling is very careless, plus the contrast between the first and two, so I give it two stars. This is a personal feeling. Anyone who has rational judgments and reasonable reasons should not be regarded as irritating.
