"Interstellar: The City of a Thousand Planets" ★★★★
Finished reading. At least until Avatar 2 came out, if not longer, it had written the word "space epic".
Without the resource support of the Big Six (especially in publicity and distribution), and the audience is not broad, the film is likely to face the risk of huge losses. Even so, Luc Besson still made a desperate bet, smashed 210 million US dollars, assembled the best local production team in France, and unprecedentedly united three world's top special effects companies, and finally concocted an extremely gorgeous, imaginative super giant that almost overflowed the screen. . It must be emphasized again that even though it is in English, this is not a Hollywood movie.
In the first half hour of the film, let’s just say, every time you blink, you may miss a wonderful thing.
The planetary home of the Pearl People, a paradise constructed with blue. Magnificent and flat, boundless. A spotless paradise, indifferent to the world, self-sufficient. It is not necessarily the Pandora in everyone's heart, and it will be what heaven should be like in many people's hearts.
Incredible place more than one place.
Alpha City, as seen in the title, the city of a thousand stars. Starting with the acceptance of Chinese aerospace by the International Space Station, the docking was successful, the hatch was opened, and the Chinese astronauts made a grand appearance. Here, the cleverness of Luc Besson made the Hong Kong audience climax.
Niubi is behind.
In 5 minutes, spanning 700 years, you see that the space station continues to grow, more and more alien life visits, and establishes a relationship with human civilization. The exchange and fusion of cultures, the final scene, I wish I could release the picture at this time, I can't describe its magnificent and colorful, delicate and complex, unprecedented level.
Well, about the visual part, no more words. If I can give my knee, it should be able to give you the same. Really interested, go see it yourself. As usual, I have to talk about the reasons for not giving five stars.
The sophistication of the original comics, coupled with the genius brain of Luc Besson, is the source of these visual wonders of the film. The visual inspiration from the genius brain, I can imagine the excitement of Luc Besson when he wrote the script, and he must have lost a lot of sleep. Obsessed with the creation of epic space, 90% of the energy should be exhausted. Unconsciously lowering the focus on story creation and character shaping.
Perhaps it was because he was too familiar with comics that Luc Besson did not grasp the proportions of the movie's presentation of various elements. What should be said a little more, what can be pointed out, the movie is only two hours long, how to choose, how much troubled him.
Or, when trying to connect these many inspirations into a coherent story, the master was at a loss for a while. It's a pity I have to say. However, no matter who it is, no one can do better than Luc Besson.
Cameron can't, neither can Lei Lao.
Now that the film is released everywhere, the reviews are polarized, and it seems that it will not lose money. It is destined to be its best fate. The lack of publicity experience and the lack of distribution resources are the biggest regrets of this film. I bet a lot of people haven't even heard of this movie, and there's no point in buying a ticket.
Therefore, I decided to be a drop of water, hoping that people who read this film review will be able to buy tickets to support the film when it is released in the mainland. Because...I really want to see the sequel! ! !
