Obviously, "Genesis: War" is a special effects movie. Its story is boring to most domestic audiences. Even for some sci-fi fans, "Genesis: War" is a disappointing movie.
I personally have no love for the first "Electronic World Contest" (1982). Although I admit that it has epoch-making significance in the field of film special effects, it has never been a mainstream movie. Although the audiovisual effects of this 28-year sequel movie can be described as shocking, it still doesn't make me feel special about it.
I have watched the IMAX and 35mm 3D "Creation: War" respectively. As far as my personal experience is concerned, if I don't watch the IMAX version, the audiovisual effect will be greatly reduced. Coupled with the boring plot, sleeping in a dim theater is almost inevitable.
This film belongs to a blockbuster with fans' feelings. If you don't have love in your heart, you probably won't like it. The general audience watched a bunch of fluorescent tubes blaring on the dim screen. It is estimated that the three stages of the flying saucer war, the speeding car war, and the final airplane war can still be refreshed, and the other passages are estimated to be drowsy.
I didn't mention the plot at all, because the plot of this film is not actually the focus of the movie. Such a movie with almost all kinds of special-shaped fluorescent tubes as the protagonist is rushed to sell visual effects. If it is an exaggeration to say that this film is prepared for IMAX, if I do not watch IMAX, then its greatest consumer value will disappear.
The difference between the IMAX format and the ordinary format of the film in the opening is that IMAX has special subtitles to remind the audience: the opening part of the film is 2D effect, please stay calm. This is actually very important to the audience. There are too many audiences who don’t know that in the first 20 minutes of the movie and the last few minutes, the picture effect is actually ordinary 2D (but you have to wear stereo glasses, because the subtitles Is 3D).
As far as visual effects are concerned, the brightness of IMAX's screen is much higher than that of ordinary 3D movies, which is also very important. As a movie whose scenes are bleak most of the time, if the light transmittance of the stereo glasses is not good, the process of watching the movie will be very painful (when I watch the normal format of "Genesis: War", I have to do it every once in a while Just take off your glasses and take a rest, otherwise your eyes will be uncomfortable).
From this perspective, IMAX is simply a must. After all, watching a movie is to entertain and rest, not to suffer.
Another thing worth mentioning about this film is that it is the first domestically released film that adopts the Dolby Surround 7.1 (Dolby Surround 7.1) standard. The world's first film to adopt Dolby 7.1 was "Toy Story 3", but due to domestic screening conditions at the time, the version introduced for public screening was still the traditional 5.1 standard. The first domestic film to adopt the Dolby 7.1 standard was "Jingwu Fengyun", but the domestically released version was still 5.1 due to screening conditions. This time, "Creation: War" was released with Dolby 7.1 standard because the domestic theater construction is catching up quickly. According to the information provided by Dolby, there are now more than 150 screens in China that can show Dolby 7.1 standard. .
Compared with the traditional 5.1 (left, center, right, low-frequency effects, left surround, right surround), the 7.1 system has added left rear surround and right rear surround. These two newly added rear surround sections can enhance the sound in the theater The directionality of the 360-degree circulation. For movies such as "Genesis: War" that rely heavily on audio-visual effects, this sound enhancement has indeed played a plus role. In the three paragraphs of the flying saucer war, the flying car war and the final aircraft war, the surround sound effect The change can still be felt if you listen carefully--but I doubt how many viewers will pay attention to these sound details in these passages.
