Exaggerated fighting, satirical violence

The film is not hot-blooded. There is no tragic atmosphere in various bloody battles. Instead, it is immediately shrouded in the joy of victory, and the sadness of death is instantly forgotten. This huge change in contrast makes people feel that the atmosphere of the film is not right. Instead of exaggerating American heroism and the cruelty of war, it is a satirical depiction of the human battle against the Zerg, who reveled in their own war dreams.
Yes, it's ironic.
The film has very little depiction of the brutality of war, and more depicts scenes of war violence, no sympathy, only blood. The Cold War Soldiers are just that kind of people who fight forever and never grieve. If you are captured by the enemy, you will be killed by others. No gay friendship, no fear. Only killing.
And the interspersed TV films make the atmosphere of the film more complicated. The kind of bellicose propaganda, even the propaganda of the destruction of Buenos Alice, is to incite war. Emotionless tone.
Various action scenes are too distorted, there is a sense of entertainment. The worms are mighty and mighty, but it is really useless to fight. You can't do them with guns at all, shells are more practical, but there are so many magical encounters.
And the people who are in it, the hearts of the characters feel very empty, and the setting of the four-cornered love does not create good emotional clues and inner changes. It just feels like it's killing it from beginning to end. Rick's growth trajectory is too weird.
The belligerent atmosphere makes people feel exaggerated, but there is a sense of humor.
All in all, this is not a movie like Fury. The atmosphere is wrong and embarrassing.

    The main line is a standard Hollywood blockbuster. Humans fight against aliens. The male protagonist wears the protagonist's halo, defeating the enemy like the immortal Xiaoqiang. However, what is interesting is the federal news that appears in the film from time to time, which is extremely ironic, using all kinds of exaggerated recruitment advertisements, torturing and killing aliens, and even notices of execution of prisoners to carry out all kinds of irony. In addition, the violent scenes in the movie are really countless, and they are very direct and cruel.

    Although it's an old movie, it's not bad.
