The pros and cons of megalodon

After watching European and American movies for so many years, I am familiar with Guo Da Statham. The tough guy in the movie feels that it is the same as seeing Schwarzenegger and Dwayne Johnson, and he slowly feels muscular. In recent years, Chinese and foreign co-productions have become popular, so let’s talk about the advantages and disadvantages of the middle.

advantage:

1. Movies are the most formatted popcorn movies, no surprises but no minefields. Just like when we write essays in the college entrance examination, don’t pursue argumentative essays with lofty ideas, novel themes, and well-established rules, plus clean and tidy pages, you will get a higher score, which is also applied to the movie Megalodon. , The succession of the whole article is basically expected, there is horror, there is cuteness, there is love, and there is brain damage.

2. Because the movie is a 3D movie, the effect is still good, especially under the effect of IMAX.

3. The subject of the deep sea is relatively difficult to shoot. Both the input and the effect require a lot of experience. I remember that the huge investment in "Future Water World" was mainly because the scene of the ocean was too difficult, so I still like it for the subject. .

shortcoming:

1. The embarrassment of the combination of China and the West really slowly overflowed the screen. Watching Jason Statham and Li Bingbing fall in love, it is really awkward.

2. The character of Li Bingbing is not very likable. Maybe the main creator wants to diversify Li Bingbing's personality, so it creates a sense of fragmentation in the character's personality. One second is emotional Virgin, the next second is a rational apology, and the last is a woman The upper body of a man, the love between sons and daughters will be long in the next second, and the outline of the characters needs to be taken up and turned. In less than two hours, it is too difficult to complete so many personality changes, and it is a popcorn movie again. .

3. This may be purely a personal sense, that is, Li Bingbing is really old, and she is still beautiful, but she doesn't feel like she used to.

Here's a spoiler for the full version: (high-energy warning)

Once upon a time there was a Megalodon, then it killed people, then it ran into Jason Statham, and finally it died. (Finish)

    Monster routine film, the plot relies entirely on fried rice, and the characters are even more terrible. Since there are disposable tableware, then a disposable role will be a more suitable description. The screenwriter also likes to make the characters throw awkward lines. Chinese and English alternate. Embarrassing, only Statham's character has some license recovery value, but that's only because he's playing Statham; that being said, I understand that no one is looking for surprises in a $130 million B-movie If you want to innovate, you should turn your head and continue watching independent horror films. The greater the investment, the greater the risk. The same is true for Joe Detdubar to take over as Eli Ross' guide; fortunately, it is the biggest attraction of this film. The megalodon, the director's handling is quite powerful. I was worried before watching it. After all, many times the monster is too big to lose its sense of terror, but Deterduba squeezed enough from this oversized CGI creature. The tension and horror, the scheduling of big scenes and the control of rhythm are textbook-level, shark movie fans can be satisfied

    Scanline VFX really didn't let me down, the special effects are realistic, the visual effects are very good, and the picture is tense and exciting. This time Bingbing is finally not here to make soy sauce.

The Meg quotes

  • Suyin: You couldn't bring Toshi back? Why not?

    Jonas Taylor: He closed the hatch. He saved us.

    Suyin: You left him. You left him because that's who you are. You are the guy who leaves people behind.

    Jonas Taylor: You go that deep, you take your life in your hands. It was your choice to send them down.

  • DJ: You said it was impossible for it to get up here.

    Suyin: It should have been.

    Jaxx: You guys take a look at this. When the glider came up, the thermocline was intact, so it was one degree Celsius.

    Mac: Yeah.

    Jaxx: But a minute later, when the Evolution came up, the temperature increased by 25 degrees. A shark could come right through there. Twenty sharks for that matter.

    Jonas Taylor: When the meg hit the Origin, it slammed into a thermal vent.

    Dr. Minway Zhang: Those can release millions of gallons per minute. The heat from that vent cleared the path through the freezing cold layer.

    Jack Morris: Are you saying we opened up a superhighway for giant sharks?

    Mac: Not exactly. It seems it was a transitory event. The temperatures are returned to normal and the gap is closed.

    DJ: Yeah. But not before a massive prehistoric killing machine decided to come up and say "Hi."
