There are still some highlights of this big production:
1. The prelude at the beginning of the film is handled properly. Although short but contains a lot of information, the beginning has hinted through the media that the virus has begun to break out in local areas, and many ways of transmission have been discussed. Such as illegal human organ trading in the underground, etc.;
2. Many details are handled in place, so that the plot development of the film is not very abrupt. For example, in a scene of escaping from a high-rise building, when the male protagonist Gerry was splashed with zombie blood on his face, he immediately Choose to stand on the edge of the building to count down, so as not to jump off the building after being infected and avoid harming family members.
3. The character positioning is relatively clear. The male protagonist Gerry's identity in the film appears as a disaster dispatcher, not a soldier. Therefore, the various behaviors in the film can make sense, such as: combat ability is not weak, mobile phones are key Forget to mute the sound, and have super ability to observe, analyze and judge. Note: Although the last two points are somewhat far-fetched, they are still so-so. Regarding the issue of "forgetting to mute the phone when it is critical", after all, there are still few cases of entering and exiting this hell as an investigator, and there may be situations in which the chain is dropped. , And the "superior ability to observe, analyze and judge" is mainly based on the fact that the male protagonist learned through on-site observations at the time of the incident that humans would be infected into zombies within 12 seconds after being bitten. There is indeed evidence for this. A sense of violation, but it is not completely unreasonable.
4. The characteristics of zombies increase the excitement of the movie. The zombies in the film are different from any previous movies of the same kind. They are fast, and their rapid group attack behavior requires external stimuli, such as sound. In particular, the sound sensitivity provided by the US military in Korea seems reasonable and saves film time.
5. The scenes of several zombie attacks are large and the plots are thrilling, such as the fall of Philadelphia at the beginning, the withdrawal of the US military in South Korea, the Jerusalem zombie tower over the high wall and the attack on the city, etc. Point of it.
6. The setting that the virus will mutate provides a reasonable basis for the global zombie outbreak. The 12-second infection law is not the initial case, but has undergone mutation. This information is implicit in the media news at the beginning of the film and the cause of the infection by the US military in South Korea. It was revealed in the movie, and it is unknown whether this virus will continue to mutate, it depends on how the director arranges in the sequel.
7. The 10-person decision in Israel and the nationwide tooth extraction campaign in North Korea are completely different from those of other countries in the world, and they have no meaning. Moreover, Israel completely provided detailed reports to the United States, but did not receive attention. In contrast, it is an irony to the self-righteousness and lack of sense of anxiety in democratic worlds such as the United States.
8. Virus camouflage technology provides new ideas for the film. This kind of zombie bites people in order to find a healthy host. This is the first time I have seen the setting of humans infected with serious diseases, and it is this setting that humans are doing. The fast-moving and large-scale zombie army was able to escape by chance and finally turned to counterattack to provide the necessary basis.
Although the film has many merits, there are some flaws that cannot be avoided:
1. The doubts about the city of Jerusalem: Where are the microphones of those Muslim aunts who sang loudly? Shouldn’t they bring survival necessities when they go out to escape? Don’t forget to bring a microphone with you all the time; the Israelis’ ten decision-making is so horrible, and even such a huge wall of engineering has been built, have you forgotten to send someone to guard the upper part of the wall in sections and carry a few Gatling? A few petrol incendiary bombs should still be useful. Look at the ancient Great Wall and even design a beacon tower. There is no protective belt around the wall. In times of crisis, gasoline is poured to build a wall of fire. Look at the ancient city. Dig a moat; could it be because Mossad had not collected relevant evidence before and had no sense of anxiety? It really doesn't make sense. In short, the city was destroyed very wrongly.
2. After watching the movie, I saw some of the original plots mentioned by Douyou, only to find that the film format has become smaller in comparison. There is neither irony of the government's corruption and incompetence like the original book, nor a positive description of the defeat of the early battles of mankind. It lacks the shock and fear of the original apocalyptic plot. There is neither an in-depth analysis of the national conditions and decision-making of major powers in the world like the original book, nor an in-depth description of the various ways of transmission of the virus. It lacks the original exposure and deterrence of the appearance and human nature of all beings, and eventually becomes an American personal hero. Popcorn slices.
