As a commercial film, "Alita" is very burning!
The picture is shocking, the action is cool, the commercial elements of violence, blood, and love are all there, the story is smooth, the plot is compact, and the visual effects are first-class. The production of Weta Studio, the original team of "Avatar", represents the best visual level in the world. A mobile ball game action scene that combines racing, dunks, pulleys, and MMA fighting is worth the price.
The best part is that Weta Studio used motion capture, performance capture and CGI technology this time, using a fusion camera system, facial motion capture instruments, and collaborative cameras to shoot, presenting computer effects while retaining the actors. expression and agility.
Alita's eye production alone is a major breakthrough in film history. Weta Studio created the geometry of the eye to decompose each layer, allowing animators to disassemble and stretch every detail of the eye, and the natural aging of the human eye. The process is similar. The eyes are too wet, which means that the emotional part cannot be calculated by the computer, so the special effects artist manually adjusts it step by step.
If the visual effects of the Chinese film industry want to reach the current level of "Alita", it is estimated that an honest training of young workers will take about 15 years.
The rhythm of the movie is controlled with a certain degree of relaxation, which is indeed a cow, not an explosion all the way. When Alita was picked up by Dr. Ide to transform her body and wake up from amnesia, her cuteness was very intimacy. The warm scene is warm, and when it is time to fall in love, you are desperate, aren't blindness and impulsiveness the performance of every pair of people who love each other?
Director Robert Rodriguez is famous for making B-level films. He likes bloody and violent actions, so the action scenes are very cool. When it's time to shoot, he doesn't hesitate to make a small universe.
But it doesn't mean that "Alita" is perfect, with Cameron producing and writing, and Weta Studios producing visual effects. This super luxurious lineup makes the audience's expectations higher and the requirements higher, so there will always be a gap. The theme of the story is not fresh enough. A girl who was transformed by a machine found her fighting talent in the hunt and began to explore her warrior fate...
The story is an adaptation of the work "Gun Dream" by Japanese cartoonist Yukito Kicheng in the 1990s. The film is relatively restored, and the characters have also been adjusted and combined. The overall plot is still relatively Hollywood formulaic, and there are not many surprises in the character creation. Cameron bought the copyright in 2005. If this film was released ten or eight years earlier, it would have been a monument.
For a commercial sci-fi movie, you don't have to be so critical, the viewing experience is more important than anything else!
The team of Kashen can only surpass themselves in the production of visual effects, and I look forward to the naked-eye 3D of "Avatar 2".
