Next, roughly compare the two films (of course, it is about the goodness of "Prometheus" and the badness of "Landscape"):
1. Regarding the narration of the story, both films are clear, the difference is "Forsaken" is simple, while "Prometheus" is concise. The story of "Lost Battlefield" has always been flat and straightforward. When there is a turning point, it also feels like: "Well, this is not unusual, it's really a useless link." If the development of the story is described by an electrocardiogram, the electrocardiogram of a dead person is the electrocardiogram of a dead person. And that jump is also very artificial and clichéd. The electrocardiogram of "Prometheus" is of a young man, with clear pulses in the curve, plus the beating caused by timely stimulation.
2. In terms of scenes, the scene changes in "Legacy" are too single. There are only a few places to go back and forth, which makes it easy for people to watch the movie. No one wants to get a glimpse of the feeling. Of course, the scene cannot change with the development of the story. The scenes of "Prometheus" go from ancient times to modern times, to space, then from space to alien planets, and finally from alien planets to the interior of the alien spacecraft, and the interior of the alien spacecraft is also a process of exploration. The whole story takes you into different novel places as it develops, making you feel novel and full of curiosity.
3. Characters. There are too few characters in "Legacy", and they all lack distinct personalities. In total, only two or three people were talking, and the content of the conversation kept repeating. I know that the director wants to strengthen what he wants to express, but the simple dialogue between the characters makes the audience feel boring. On the contrary, the main characters of "Prometheus" are very personal. Even if there are not many supporting characters, the audience can feel their different personalities.
4. Sci-fi innovation and philosophy. There are too few sci-fi innovations in "Forsaken Lands". The turning point of the story is still the old elements in many previous films and sci-fi themes. There is nothing of its own, even the last turning point. It's so old-fashioned. Although the science fiction component of "Prometheus" can also be found in various films and science fiction books, he has made good improvements, such as the origin of man, the meaning of cave paintings, and so on. Science fiction movies will inevitably involve philosophical issues (except for purely horror science fiction films). "Landscape" does not see any philosophical significance-of course it is not terrifying at all. "Prometheus" presents the philosophical question to the audience from the beginning of the story: Where did humans come from? And where to go. It has been unfolding around this philosophical issue. Although "Prometheus" contains a lot of information, it is not a superficial presentation and explanation. Many details require the audience to think and explore by themselves. For example, why did the aliens by the waterfall take that liquid in the first place? Was he forced? Or voluntary? etc.
