First of all, in the early publicity stage of the film, the audience was vaccinated through the trailer, and the protagonist will die repeatedly in the film. Among movies of the same type, Edge of Tomorrow is definitely a superb work, with perfect logic lines and basically no bugs. Even if it is a science fiction theme, it will not make you feel that there is any entanglement in the plot after 114 minutes. Refreshing is the first feeling after watching this film.
The most commendable is the editing technique throughout the story. This kind of movie usually has a problem, how to repeat the same story-the reincarnation of life and death, and still not make the audience feel boring. And this film even raises this difficulty to a new level. The number of times the male protagonist Bill Cage died and was resurrected in the film is no longer counted! Under this challenge, in addition to the breakthrough in the plot (the original work must be thanked here), the role of editing is indispensable! For countless reincarnations of life and death, the editing has been distinguished, basically based on the focus and main line. If the audience does not need to know the place in the theater, it will be relatively weak, which better guarantees the overall smoothness and integrity of the movie. , Coupled with the dazzling fighting scenes, this is a necessary condition for the success of the popcorn movie!
Let's talk about the plot below. (Note with spoilers)
Before watching the movie, I haven't read the comics or the original, so the understanding of the plot is only through the few trailers and clips. But this will not affect the understanding of the movie plot itself.
At the beginning of the film, a series of "news reports" set the stage for the audience. The story of the day before the protagonist turned on the death reincarnation mode actually used a lot of "chapters", which surprised me at first, but the more I look at the back, the more I can appreciate the director's good intentions.
With regard to the background knowledge closely related to the logic of death reincarnation, the screenwriter is also gradually spreading science to everyone in the process of different reincarnations in Bill Cage, so there is no need to worry about not being able to understand it in the middle.
From the point of view of the characters, the initial setting of the deserter of the male protagonist Bill Cage is surprising, different from the previous Hero image of Tomoko. It is precisely this setting that makes the first half of the film a lot of laughter! You read that right, this is a movie where you can smile and watch the hero dying and alive!
At the beginning, his comrades ridiculed him as dead man in the suit (in a sense predicting the future of Cage), but after the reincarnation of life and death, Cage gradually discovered that his "superpowers" could not rescue his companions on the battlefield, and the female The encounter of Lord Rita made him start to transform. Cage also mastered the application rules of this ability in the process of restarting continuously. He tried to stand by and go single-handedly into the enemy's cave, but all ended in failure until his Last chance. Just as Cage answered the questions of his comrades, to win this war must be self-sacrificing. This is a story of constant self-sacrifice to save the world.
The heroine Rita was the setting of the Valkyrie from the beginning. She played the role of the instructor in the film. Without her, Cage could not grow up so fast.
Every member of the J team is also very cute, and the supporting characters are also full.
The final ending is naturally Happy ending. The protagonist successfully saves the world. The whole movie will definitely feel a sense of comfort for such a happy ending, like the first awakening from a nightmare, and the shock is already set. It also confirms the sentence Tomorrow is a better day~ I
believe this is a popular summer blockbuster. Absolutely worth the fare!
(Only the premiere has been reviewed, there may be some omissions in the details, please forgive me.)
ps still want to say, after watching the movie, I can’t help feeling, the importance of keeping an inventory!
