Actually it's not that boring

After hesitating for a long time, let's give it 5 stars. Although in the eyes of many people, this is also a 3~4 star movie. But the principle of my rating has always been based on the type of movie. In this kind of sci-fi action movie, since it is In order to pursue visual and auditory stimulation, there is no need to demand that the movie be a bitch and still set up an archway.
When the movie opened, Disney's title made me instantly softened. I didn't do my homework. I knew it was shot by Disney. I won’t watch it anymore. When it comes to Disney making such real-life sci-fi fantasy films, it’s really difficult to make it into an epic level. Recalling , , , , Which one is not disappointing and disappointing. Even the sequels of "National Treasure" and "Pirates of the Caribbean", which are good at the box office, are not too cold for me.
No way, Disney shoots a little love or a happy and childlike movie. It is very successful, and I even love the not-so-highly rated . Unfortunately, with such a magnificent movie, it will always break the director's script or the actor's imbalance.
But Disney movies often have one advantage, In addition to the boring protagonist, there is a little supporting actor who can not only contact the plot but also make the audience happy. Like the pirate monkey in the Pirates of the Caribbean, the persistent electric welder in the WALLE, and the little dragon in the Mulan. This movie Inside, it is an alien dog with a ferocious appearance but super cute.
Let's talk about the sound effects. Fortunately, the IMAX hall I saw is loud enough, unlike some theaters, it seems to be noisy to the projectionist. , The sound is always afraid to speak loudly. So the whole film is enjoyable enough to listen to, but unfortunately for the theme, it is difficult to hear the brilliant metal rubbing sound in Transformers. And the soundtrack always feels like borrowing a sum of money to compose a song, it is difficult There is the magnificent symphonic soundtrack in Harry Potter. But considering the reason that the music style is not unified when traveling from the earth to Mars, let me forgive it.
In terms of visual effects, students shouldn’t expect too much about color. It’s hard to see the magnificent scenery of Avatar, Mars... the exterior scenes are all shot in that kind of desert rocky land. In addition to yellow feces or yellow feces, aliens are also dark grayish green. It is a pity that IMAX's display effect...In the battle scene, it is quite satisfactory and enough to support the film, but it is not so impressive. Also, the Alien Colosseum is too monotonous. Finally, it is a scene showing monsters. The director stole the door until only designing a creature resembling a white bear.
Finally, let’s talk about the plot. Personal hero movies can have What is the plot... the protagonist will never die, and when he is dead, he will turn to the nobles to help, fight all the way to the end, and finally complete the task. It can't be exacting. But there is still a little surprise at the end (of course, this kind of movie does not rely on the last 5 If you get back some plot points in minutes, you really think that the audience is an idiot). Thanks to the original work, it is worthy of a science fiction novel a hundred years ago. Although I have never read a novel, but this energy can always find feeling in such as the Count of Monte Cristo of Alexandre Dumas, Verne's science fiction and even the story of Romeo and Juliet. Why do I say Romeo and Juliet, haha, look You'll know after the end.

John Carter quotes

  • John Carter: Fifty millions miles apart, and no way to bridge the gap, no way to return my body and my soul to their true home. Like a fool I'd thrown away my medallion. Then I recalled Matai Shang, his knowledge of earth, of my history. It mean Therns were a presence on this world, the cave in Arizona was proof. There might be other such proofs, other Thern way stations hidden all around the world. I knew now what the cave of gold must be used for. So for ten bitter years I searched, on the trail of rumor and legend, I fared it out every possible evidence of Therns, but I found no medallion. And then it came to me. And once it came, there were many plans I had to make in secret. I could trust no one else. I had long suspected that the Therns were following my movements. Now you'll understand the cause of my sudden death. The reason for my bizarre funeral instructions. Why the door can only be opened from the inside. For if my body dies on earth, then my copy dies on Mars. You are the key, this is the task I entrust to you along with all my fortune. Protect my body, the Therns will attempt to destroy it. In the time it has taken you to read these pages, they may have already done so.

  • Edgar Rice Burroughs: I am the key. I am the key! I, Edgar.

    [he looks for clues on the mausoleum door]

    Edgar Rice Burroughs: Ed! E... D!

    [he presses the letters E-D in 'Inter Mundos' engraved on the mausoleum door, but nothing happens, frustrated Burroughs takes out the telegraph Carter had sent him and reads]

    Edgar Rice Burroughs: 'Dear, Ned'. He never called me Edgar. He called me Ned!

    [he presses the letters N-E-D in the 'Inter Mundos' engraved on the mausoleum door and the door opens, Ned is shocked to discover his uncle's body is missing, Matai Shang appears behind him, about to kill him, but Carter appears and shoots him]

    John Carter: Hello, Ned.
