"Destruction"

The film is not as bad as I imagined. Before this kind of film, if it was not in a relatively closed environment or at night, it would be good to be able to shoot such an effect in broad daylight. And the next few bridges are still effective.

It's just that the film spreads too much from the beginning. If there is no plausible explanation, it will be disappointing. So the runaway, chaotic, and abrupt stop and the wishful thinking of scientists in the second half of the film obviously hurt the overall perception. And the repetitive ending, which is nothing new, is even more unbearable.

It seems that M. Night Shyamalan M. Night Shyamalan is difficult to surpass the height of "The Sixth Sense" and "The Ghost Village". Of course, compared to "The Sixth Sense", I prefer "The Sixth Sense" to be philosophically correct. The interpretation of human fear.
