After watching the movie, I also read most of the movie reviews.
I heard that the original work is very exciting. The current (2021-04-21) rating of this movie is 7.0 ( reviewed by 164,847 people ), although it is not a high score, nor a low score. This shows that there are many audiences who recognize this movie.
1. The training of close combat with various supporting roles in front of the male protagonist is superfluous, because in the end, it is just sitting in the colony star to remotely command the battleship, but I understand that any movies with "military" and "alien war" are close to The segment of body fighting is definitely indispensable, and most of the battles are not used.
2. Fighting aliens, and it was only at the end of the film that we saw what the aliens looked like. Really speechless. . . Similar to the routine of many horror films, the "anti-angle" finally appeared, and it didn't take long for it to disappear. However, no matter how many special effects of the queen, it is difficult, after all, it burns money.
3. I haven't read the original book, just relying on the plot description in front of the movie, I really don't think why the male protagonist is called a "genius", or I don't think his experience like "child slapstick" can create an excellent battle commander.
Netizens who have read the original book said that the director has been working hard to remake the entire novel with a plot of about two hours, which is not bad.
4. After seeing the various "frustration" experiences of the previous male protagonist, I thought it was just an ordinary "juvenile" film. If all the actors were replaced by adults, the plot would actually be the same. At least you won't be able to fall asleep.
5. In the final battle with the Zerg, except for the male protagonist, there is really no need for other children to appear. After all, they just sit and cooperate. Although children's reaction speed and learning ability are stronger than adults, I still think it is unnecessary.
The appearance of this group of children, at most, can make the male protagonist not stand out in front of a bunch of adults. After all, this is a movie about teenagers.
6. The male protagonist has dealt with the second supporting actor who loves to do things in the film. He feels sad and guilty to return to the earth, which is really superfluous!
This behavior of the male protagonist is self-defense! Besides, the old man Colonel Hillenguera brought the black female officer Major Anderson to the male lead's house, and the black female asked the male lead why he beat the first trouble-loving supporting actor in the military school, did he enjoy it? ? If the male protagonist says, "It's only the first battle to hit him, I want to win all the battles that follow, so that they won't bother me again", it's stupid to become a virgin here. It's not a problem to kill by mistake, after all, this is a movie, this is the protagonist! A YY movie is not the director and the screenwriter who have the final say?
7. In the end, the Zerg of the mother planet was wiped out, and the male protagonist was suddenly mentally sad, sad, and irritable, thinking that he had been "deceived" and commanded to destroy the Zerg. It is believed that the Zerg has not attacked the earth for 50 years, and it is possible to try to communicate.
It's a pity that the male protagonist doesn't know: the so-called weeds and roots are not cut down, and the spring breeze blows.
None of us, the audience, understands if the Zerg has other colonies or if it will make a comeback.
But why not address potential threats first?
Otherwise, how can the human beings who died 50 years ago due to the invasion of the Zerg go to bed?
Could it be that before the Zerg invaded the earth, did they not know that there were humans on the earth? Don't you know that the earth has technology and civilization?
I must know, so the threat of the male protagonist to destroy the mother star is not an evil act that wipes out the world.
8. Finally, the special effects are really good. Although there was Iron Man in 2008 and this movie was released in 2013, I still think the special effects are really good.
