A bit of a disappointing summer blockbuster

Twenty years ago, the classic sci-fi blockbuster "Independence Day" was thrilling to watch at the time. Roland Emmerich dared to blow up the White House in the movie for the first person in the world. His stunt movies have never let me down. Whether it is the breathtaking images in "After Tomorrow" or "2012", or the mainstream American values ​​promoted in them, they have subtly influenced audiences all over the world. Unfortunately, this year's much-anticipated "Independence Day 2" has disappointed me. Although many of the original cast of the year have been recovered, the magnificent momentum and ambition of the year have long disappeared. In its place is a booming commercial vibe, an old-fashioned narrative tone, and a tiresome politically correct message. There seems to be only one skill left to talk about: stunts. However, even the director of the White House Statue of Liberty, Christ Jesus, and other landmarks around the world has been bombed, what stunts are worth our surprise? Indeed, the proportions of stunts in this sequel are far less shocking than they used to be. The final climax is a bit like the ultimate breakthrough in a children's game, which is too tricky in my opinion.

    After so many years, it's time for a sequel like this. In fact, it is obvious that as a disaster film, it cannot be as deeply rooted in the hearts of the people as the Star Wars culture. It can allow a group of audiences to return to the theater after 20 years for their feelings. It is almost foreseeable that the North American attendance rate of this film will not be too high. ideal. The film itself is more like the dazzling skills of CG special effects. As a sequel, it is almost less than half of the level of the first film. After "The Day After Tomorrow", Roland Emmerich has no better works.

    Needless to say, the special effects are naturally tight. The fly in the ointment is that the editing of the warm scenes is not complete enough. More of the plot revolves around the ups and downs of battles with aliens. In addition, many people are skeptical and negative about the baby's participation, but I think it's okay, maybe because she doesn't have a lot of scenes, and the editing is just right, so I don't think she's a bit cumbersome, and every time she appears is when the plot needs it. .
