If I want to define science fiction, it must at least be the imagination beyond the times. And almost all the sci-fi elements of this film come from "Star Wars" and "The Fifth Element".
Luc Besson added special effects to the sci-fi imagination of the 1980s and 1990s and moved it to today, which is undoubtedly very outdated. Isn't the desert scene at the beginning a large-scale VR? Don't the spaceships they drive look like the Millennium Falcon? Do you think the city of a thousand stars is ugly? When I introduced the various races in the city of a thousand stars, I had the illusion of a crazy animal city, and how did the race that hijacked the heroine look like JARJAR in Star Wars 1, even spitting So similar. In short, most of these 210 million special effects are new special effects of old science fiction, without any intention.
First of all, the rhythm is not grasped at all. In the first 10 minutes or so, I will tell you one thing. A planet was destroyed by the impact of a spaceship. In a few minutes, you just fortified a lot of wonders to show the environment of the alien planet. , but then you have to describe in detail, such as the relationship between the male and female protagonists, and then you can remove a lot of trouble for the female protagonist because of catching the butterfly, this part is completely meaningless, in order to show special effects The special effects displayed did not promote the plot, as if the number of words in the composition was made up, but Rihanna's dance was quite good.
Besides, in this plot, the suspense is not well laid out, and I already know the answer after seeing the various actions of the general at the beginning. OK, you don't rely on suspense, no problem. But your relationship line is also a mess. The relationship between the male and female protagonists started from the beginning. The male protagonist likes the female protagonist but the female protagonist dislikes the male protagonist. After the two rescued each other, they fell in love. You are funny, how do I feel that the two of them They both liked each other from the beginning, but the heroine was more shy, and the two ended up with an abrupt chicken soup text, which made me so angry, I left the theater halfway through the chicken soup text, such a silly X line On today, let's ask who would like it. At the same time, the inner description of the characters is almost blank, which makes me dislike the characters in them, but I really like the three ducks. Therefore, the plot continues and even magnifies the shortcomings of "The Fifth Element".
Finally, a sci-fi movie is the most difficult of all genres, and it is by no means what you can achieve by stacking special effects. An excellent sci-fi film, it not only needs whimsy, but also ensures that the plot and characters conform to the setting of the future world. This is difficult to achieve. Star Wars has created a Korean drama in the overall wonderful adventure story. Classic images such as Solo, Princess Leia, Darth Vader, etc. Back to the future use the changes of the times to make the characters adapt to the environment and complete their growth, and fully conform to the character's character. This time, Luc Besson used the old-fashioned story to match the old-fashioned imagination, which really lived up to the "reputation" of Chen Kaige of France.
