The first half was great, the second half was over.
Let's talk about the shortcomings first: lack of moving people, lack of deep thinking.
It's not touching, because he's not like Hayao Miyazaki, after all, it's a pure sci-fi film, but the emotional line is too poor, just two teenagers who are not convinced by each other, and Jintian chasing girls, no more.
Lack of deep thinking. Originally in the middle, Qingzi used Ating's mouth to tell Jintian the truth of Akira, the mysterious energy of the universe. If a person acquires a huge energy that does not match his own, it will cause destruction around him. This piece is quite interesting, but there is no further development in the future, just bombardment bombardment, patronizing the visual effects, and the connotation is no longer promoted.
Finally, let's talk about the advantages: the characters are beautiful, the storytelling is smooth, and the MacGuffin is well used.
The characters are beautiful, and Jintian and his red locomotive have become representative symbols. There are other scenes of Tokyo Motorcycle Boys.
The mirroring is smooth, and the locomotive battle at the beginning is too cool. Every time the plot is tightened later, the picture progresses very smoothly, making people unable to take their eyes off.
McGuffin, here is AKIRA. The first half of the whole film didn't say what AKIRA is, so he can push the story halfway through, which is awesome. I didn't talk about it until the middle section, but it was also very vague, a mass of energy. In the end, I didn't see any specific AKIRA. What are the nerve cells in several bottles? But it is this MacGuffin, who has been driving the progress of the plot to the end, and it is also powerful.
