Ambition delayed by the story

The story is a high-concept, and the plot design is quite bright, but what about it, this is really not a movie that can be solved within two hours.

First of all, this setting is very complicated. How did a group that had been reincarnated and reincarnated for millennia split into two groups, the resources of both sides are superior, and the other is the inferior. It seems that the villain should have a greater advantage here, decent. The side is like a mole hiding in the dark. However, this is the problem. In the plot, the villain who clearly has military and police power has already pointed out some of the power of the political power explicitly or implicitly. On the decent side, a large base surrounded by mountains and rivers. When I saw this, I was thinking, you and the villain should have an endless relationship. Is such a high-profile base really okay? Sure enough, the villain came to ransack the house in the next second, and the decency in the play actually has no vigilance at all. Did you play the house or hide and seek? Then it’s chasing and killing the protagonist. There is no confession and the villain will be killed. Why should the villain be so strong, so that Mark Wahlberg can spend more than ten years when he is mentally ill in this surveillance era. The adaptation of the film, I believe that the original work must be fully explained, but the length of this film is just like the current film, and nothing is clearly explained. It is really a forced interpretation, which makes people look awkward.

Secondly, it is the logic of character setting. It is said that these two groups of people should be old goblin-level characters. Knowledge, thought, technology armed, reputation and prestige should be accumulated to an infinite degree, but ordinary humans have nothing to them in the movie. As you know, even if these reborn gangs can control the media and suppress public opinion, for thousands of years, it would be unreasonable for the human world to not even have a legend.

Finally, on the issue of reincarnation, how does this group of groups reincarnate? Do they awaken after they are born, and then they can find a large army, or is there a medium to help them awaken in the later period, or organize them like a reincarnation soul boy? Throw out people to fish. In addition, with regard to their attitude towards death, will a group of people who cannot die still fear life and death? So what's the point of killing them like this? This wave of people should be afraid of death, right? Being treated like a guinea pig is their nightmare, right? Also, when the protagonist came to that seemingly awesome, but actually weak base, he saw a few young people who were training martial arts, which made people question that these obviously young young people were also their group. A member of? Shouldn't they have super abilities? Why train from scratch? Is it a newcomer? Then it involves a question. Will this ability to reincarnate like mutants, with new people appearing from time to time? Unfortunately, there is no explanation in this movie.

Faced with these problems, this movie chose the second-most bad option, relying on the characters’ mouth-cannons to forcefully explain, it’s tiring to watch, this kind of prolonged dialogue makes people drowsy. And this kind of performance is really not what actors like Wahlberg and Chevat Egafo are good at, so it's particularly painful to watch. This large-scale dialogue to explain the story setting also ruined the three exciting action scenes of car chase, prison escape, and cabin fighting in the film. It feels particularly incoherent, like incompatible in a movie. Same.

To make a complaint, since the "New Mummy", the weightless fighting scenes in the cabin have followed suit, which is really enough.

In short, this movie has a big idea, but it is really played to death by the situation.
