Before watching this traditional Hollywood film, I did not give high expectations, because in Hollywood, there are already excellent works by some directors such as Spielberg, which are difficult to grasp and surpass, but in the process of watching the film But it refreshed my thinking.
The shortcomings of this film are extremely obvious. First of all, from the tone of the whole film, the intention is unclear. In the opening scene, the scientific research ship dived into the seabed to explore the unknown world, and at the same time, they played with great fanfare that their purpose was to prepare to refresh human cognition and lead human beings to discover new continents. However, as the megalodon was accidentally taken out of the deep sea after human activities disrupted the natural order, the tone began to gradually turn to the opposite. In order to prevent the threat of these two prehistoric endangered creatures to human beings, the team of Incarnation of Justice actually began to exterminate them. At the same time, with the introduction of some unbearable past events of the protagonist, the film suddenly adds a sense of revenge. In the second half of the film, the megalodon is about to attack Sanya Bay. At this time, the protagonist's attitude towards the megalodon has completely turned hostile, exaggerating the atmosphere of human beings who are fearless in the face of nature and face difficulties, and even take out The old man and the sea episode. At this point, I would like to ask whether the main theme of the film is that human beings can conquer nature or human beings should protect nature? So, I think this video has zero gist.
Secondly, this film has a very complicated emotional line. His ex-wife was trapped at the bottom of the sea, and the male protagonist may not forget Yushuizhihuan to come forward to save him. After the successful rescue, his ex-wife was sent to treatment and announced that his role was basically completed. Even in the middle and later scenes of the film, she also encouraged her ex-husband, who is The male protagonist starts a new relationship with her good friend, who is a good ex-wife in China. Furthermore, the relationship between the male protagonist and the female protagonist is heated and abrupt, but since this film is a fantasy film, there is no need to pursue it too much.
The character creation of this film is also a big failure. It lacks skill in shaping the character of the hero who dares to love and hate, and the heroine's mother's love like a mountain. As a result, after watching the movie, I only remember the brave and fearless image of the hero and heroine, which is relatively simple. . When creating the image of a millionaire, when the team was about to cast lots to decide who would go into the water to install GPS on the megalodon, the millionaire said he couldn't swim, but the first small climax was when his team was imprisoned and the millionaire swam alone. Lifeboats, keeping the team out of harm's way, at which point I think the build of the rich man has completely collapsed. At the same time, for the grasp of other characters, the film also fully reflects the point of view that they are supporting roles and do not need image shaping at all. Such phenomena are so obvious that they will not be described in detail.
At the same time, the setting of this film goes against science. The megalodon lives about 12,000 kilometers under the sea. It observes the world with its eyes? ! This made me amazed, enough to see the strength of the pressure in his body. But what shocked me the most was that he was able to sustain such pressure to the sea level without exploding! I'll rub it, a batch of cows! Moreover, he was able to drag a body of more than 20 meters and hit the shallow water area of Sanya with a weight of hundreds of thousands of tons. I am afraid you are going to the sky, right? Moreover, there are many embarrassing dialogues in this play, especially the dialogue between the heroine and her daughter and father in English and Chinese. You are afraid that the audience will not know that you are a Sino-US joint venture, and you speak Chinese. Why is it so lame? And wait some more...
With so many flaws, it has to be said that he managed to catch my eye and completely immerse me in the viewing experience for 90 minutes. With Hollywood's high-cost production and the world's top green screen, this completely realistic and shocking viewing experience is extremely rare and shows world-class standards. Another success lies in his relatively successful realization of Hitchcock's idea that the crisis is in broad daylight, which makes us be shocked by surprise. Finally, I would like to say that although this film has great flaws, its immersive experience has brought it back to the fore. I think this is also the unique charm of Hollywood, and I give it an 8.
The above is purely personal opinion, please correct me.
