Luc Besson's imaginative and unrestrained imagination, the combination with special effects in "Interstellar Agent: City of a Thousand Planets" is really eye-catching, all kinds of creative sci-fi pen , people can't help but admire the director's brain hole, but unfortunately this charming space fantasy has not been truly combined with the plot, behind the dazzling thousands of stars is a pale emptiness that cannot be concealed.
As a movie that uses visual effects to conquer the audience, "Interstellar Agent: The City of a Thousand Planets" is undoubtedly qualified. From the beautiful planet with the same color in the water and the sky to the big market that can only be seen by wearing glasses, from different shapes From the alien creatures to the construction of the entire interstellar world, Luc Besson in this film can be described as showing his creative talent that does not decline with age at all, and this talent can be faked today. Under the special effects of the film, it is indeed more accessible to people to walk into the dream of light and shadow created by this master, lamenting the amazing film aesthetics.
I don't know if it is because the director spent all his energy on building the system of the interstellar world, the story of "City of a Thousand Stars" itself is completely incompatible with this extremely rich cosmic system. The scattered and lacking rhythm control narrative makes this story about the adventure of an agent completely unattractive, and the movie itself does not have any commendable turning points at all. Makes this movie seem unable to make people mention what kind of interest from the plot.
In addition to the old-fashioned plot, another problem with the movie is the lack of emotional foreshadowing and characterization of the protagonist. There is almost no emotion at all in the hero and heroine. The protagonist's pursuit of justice is more like what the movie has given him It is not an exaggeration to say what happened between the male and female protagonists, why did they fall in love, and what would their ending be? It has become irrelevant in this movie. As for Wu Yifan in this movie, it is only It has become a vase, but this positioning is also suitable for him.
After watching this work, I can't help but think of Luc Besson's debut "Final Battle", which is also a science fiction movie, but at that time Luc Besson was not so famous, relying on meager funds However, he still produced works with both imagination and depth, but today, although his imagination remains the same, he has long lost the power to capture depth in a movie.
