release or not

I haven't read the book, but watched the movie for the trailer. After reading what to say, I just feel very uncomfortable.

The first half of the film is not bad, everything that needs to be set up has been laid out, from the heroine who could not control her ability when she was a child, hurt her parents, was rescued by the doctor, but avoided it vigilantly, and then met the black and white brothers and the Asian boy. The girl, the four of them were desperately searching for a secret base, evading pursuit and the like, all of which were still fast-paced and very exciting. It is also mixed with the heroine's guilt towards her parents, the contradiction in love, and the black brother who distrusted the heroine from the beginning, and gradually accepted the heroine later.

There are no obvious loopholes except the lines are a little underwhelming. I just feel that the part from controlling the doctor to being rescued from the heroine is obviously too simple, obviously for the sake of the plot. For example, when the doctor examines so many mutant children, he is alone. If a yellow child is disobedient and blows up a computer, wouldn't the blue child throw a scalpel in the air? Fortunately, the acting skills of the actors are all good, and the scenery is also good-looking.

Since I arrived at the secret base established by the child, I feel like I have changed the director to shoot, which is completely illogical.

First of all, the big (small?) Boss appeared, what happened to his eyes? It's too shady, and it's written all over his face that he is not a good person.

Brother Hei was obviously suspicious, (Brother Hei's super power turned out to be super smart, who would have thought). Brother Hei is a green grade. In the movie, it only says that green is safe and can be approached. It doesn't say whether he has any superpowers. But since Brother Hei's eyes will glow green when he is thinking, it means he still has super powers. There are so many hot kids in the whole camp green level, and everyone found them after deciphering the clues, which shows that the IQ is not low. Doubt alone?

Then the drama of the heroine almost being qj is also inexplicable. The heroine agreed to let the boss explore her previous memories because he wanted Brother Hei to borrow the big boss's computer. (I thought that Brother Hei used the computer to see through the boss's conspiracy and led everyone to escape.) As a result, Brother Hei's computer was useless, and the boss didn't seem to find out how the heroine erased her memory. Moreover, it has been revealed from the chat records of the big boss that the big boss is the villain, so this paragraph is not used to show the true face of the big boss. So what is this piece for? In order to give the heroine and her party a logical reason to escape?

Having said that, since the female protagonist's gang has decided to run away for this reason, why did so many black brothers become suspicious before? Brother Hei was suspicious for a long time, but he didn't find any stone hammer!

Moreover, the heroine failed to run away, and was stopped as soon as she reached the door. So what's the difference between running or not? If you live in a tent that night, you will still know that the army is coming and will resist? Is it just to let Brother Bai be punched a few more times?

(I can’t help but sing here: It turns out that the final elimination can also reach the end, so why do we have to go through that unnecessary risk skr~skr~)

There is also the part where the heroine and the boss confront each other. The heroine uses her mind to control the army to aim the muzzle at the boss, and the boss uses her mind to move the muzzle to the ground.

(Here I can't help but sing: Hahahahaha, can't beat me~ There's no way I'm so strong~)

Simply inexplicable! Brother and sister, what are you two doing? Doesn't the heroine know that what she can do can also be done by the boss? It's better that two people directly look at each other and control each other's brains, just like the docking of Voldemort's Harry wand, and they have to look at each other, and they have to toss others.

What about other people? Although only the boss and the heroine are orange, the other children are at least a little bit yellow, blue and green. If you move some tables and chairs to smash people into the plane, you can run.

In the end, the heroine still called the doctor's group to save people, so why did you run away in the first place? ? ?

There were a lot of doubts in the front that could not be explained in the end. For example, when the heroine touched the doctor's boyfriend for the first time, what was the flashback of the memory? And didn't the heroine dare not have physical contact with Brother Bai at first? Why did you suddenly dare to touch it at the dance party? After touching it, it didn't show that the heroine received any relevant background of Brother Bai. Why did the heroine struggle for so long at the beginning? Why did it suddenly turn into a plenary swearing-in meeting? There is also the most important point that puzzles me. Although the boss is orange, and I know that there is a boss halo, but after all, superpowers are only for the brain, and the body is still flesh and blood! Why was it smashed by a helicopter, and the plane then exploded, the boss just had a black eye, and the next shot went to inspect the army unharmed. Why! ! !
