Movie Viewing Status: Holiday Syndrome
Viewing experience: inexplicable
Canadian film "At First Light"
Genre: Science Fiction
Main cast: Stefanie Scott, Théodore Pellerin
Story Overview: Step into the secret world of a super girl
Release Date: March 10, 2018 in the United States
Inexplicable works, small cost, small production, small layout, pure waste of time.
Looking ahead
① Canadian movies, not too cold, not too interested. If you have time, sources, and leisure, just take a look.
② Film festival films, there must be gimmicks, as to whether they can attract more and more cunning audiences is another matter.
Essays in Views
①The actor is unattractive. The man's face is too long, the woman's face is too square . Alternative aesthetics, can't understand! Video viewing has plummeted.
②The plot is not attractive. This film has the name of science fiction, but it is actually showing off the youthful love drama. From the beginning of "Sean met his ex-girlfriend Alex at a beach party", to "the male lead and the female lead flee together" (away from the pursuit of the official organization), and finally "Alex rescued the unconscious Sean, turned into a 'meteor', and flew to the sky ". This is how the story ended, in the afterthought of the audience.
The question is, how does this end? To be honest, I didn't understand it below. Maybe this is the director's intention, deliberately leaving it blank so that the audience can use their imagination to fill in the blanks at the end.
③ The low-cost works have limited sci-fi special effects. It is difficult to win the audience's approval with only some beautiful visual effects at the end of the film. In addition, the sci-fi concept (alien?) applied in the film is too outdated, so the final color is medium to low. .
After watching
① Once again, I remind myself that it is better to watch less (try not to watch) Canadian films. (Except for landscape films)
② Think again about "the origin, way of getting along, and mode of communication between human civilization and extraterrestrial civilization". (Scientists need to think more and stop being arrogant)
③ Think again about "the common ground between alien intelligent creatures and human beings". (This topic is not expanded, and it is almost time to write a paper)
End of review.
Screenwriter★☆☆☆☆ (The story is boring to a certain level)
Director ☆☆☆☆ (Small cost is a hotbed for "self-written and self-directed" type directors, but unfortunately, there are too few excellent works, and there are too many pretentious ones)
Actor ★★★☆☆
Plot ☆☆☆☆ (love dramas are fun to watch, sci-fi dramas are cloudy and foggy)
Visual effects ★★★☆☆ (too ordinary)
Sound effects ★★★☆☆ (depressed, the same tone as "Cardinals" I watched some time ago)
Not recommended
