(It's too long to pass the original game, there may be discrepancies in memory, please correct me)
The plot of this film is the product of the magic transformation after the two games of "Restart of the Tomb" (2013) and "Rise of the Tomb" (2015) are mixed. After watching it, I feel confused. Try to understand the difference with the original:
1. Basic personality: female archaeological college students become heirs to hundreds of millions of inheritances
Summarize the plot of the original in one sentence: the pure and pure female college students are in trouble and anger the slaughter of the village. Compared with the mature image of the movie version of Dong Ren, who didn't admit defeat and delivered food to earn a living, the original Laura is an ordinary female college student who has just graduated and is even less familiar with world affairs. She looked for Xie Matai only out of archeological spirit and interest, and had nothing to do with her father.
The film version of "Ordinary People Suddenly Finding That He Is Chosen on an Adventure" is a dramatic version of the 2015 Rise of the Backstory. The story of Laura's biological father and the villain organization "Holy Trinity" are from 15 years of
2. The core theme: saving Jiyou becomes saving dad
This is the part I resent the most. In recent years, major female protagonists have gradually improved in commercial films, but most of them just turn male protagonists into female protagonists. Recall that in commercial films, there are a lot of interactions with female protagonists, independent plot lines, role growth, and supporting actresses that have nothing to do with men? Have it? --No.
The original female No. 2 Samantha Nishimura (Samantha Nishimura) meets the above requirements. She is Laura's best friend, photographer of the archaeological team, descendants of the Yamadae family, and heir chosen by Himiho-does this title sound more powerful than Laura. In the original work, the members of the archeological team are separated, and Samantha is kidnapped by cultists and sacrificed her life to complete the rebirth of Meihu. Laura's actions are basically the process of finding Samantha → being lost → finding Samantha → being lost → rescuing Samantha...
After playing the final boss of the original game:
Return my lily thread!
3. The villain: the Holy Trinity and the whitewashed Meihu
As mentioned above, Trinity is the villain of the 2015 game
In the movie, Himiko is the goddess of death who spreads horror and misfortune. Later, after exploring the tomb, she learned the truth: she was originally an ordinary immigrant, suffering from a fatal infectious disease. In order not to harm more people, she chose to commit suicide, and the virus in her body followed her. His body is sealed in an underground coffin. In summary, it is the man who sacrificed himself for the sake of justice, and did not involve supernatural power at all (otherwise it may not pass the trial...)
The original Himihu is a powerful evil spirit. She is the Queen of Eimatai with powerful magic power and can control the weather. The body has a time limit but the soul is immortal. The heir is selected through the fire sacrifice ceremony. The selected heir will give her body as a container for Himihu parasitism. If not selected, he was burned alive. That year, a certain heir chose to commit suicide, which caused the soul of Himihu to be trapped in the corpse. His anger turned into violent storms and rain enveloped the island. This was the cause of frequent shipwrecks around the island.
Samantha mentioned above is the chosen heir. At the end of the original game, Laura destroys Bei Mihu's body and rescues Sammantha. The violent wind and waves on the island calm down.
4. Some differences in art and details
1/4 of the scenes in the movie are in modern times. From the opening of the shipwreck to the ending of the outlying island, 100% of the original scenes are on the island.
The film adventure on the island is roughly divided into three parts: jungle guerrilla warfare --- escape alone --- tomb exploration. The scenes of the game are very, very, very many, especially unfortunately, there are many magnificent or dilapidated buildings in the original work, ranging from temples to palaces, full of rich and mysterious ancient mythological styles. And the tomb of Himihu in the movie really doesn't give her face...
The original very rich weapon upgrade system only retained Laura's signature weapon in the movie-the bow. There is nothing wrong with this process, but I am a little disappointed not to see the rocket. Learning to use the rocket is a key point for Laura’s growth. The game cover also uses the rocket to aim forward:
A few details that are true to the original:
• mountaineering ho movie finally ho Laura picked up mountaineering to swoop across the cliffs, leveraging boarded the cliff --- a few seconds of action, but allows the original players smile. The climbable wall is also a signpost to guide the vast number of road fans. This wall-climbing mode directly affected the development of 2016 "Uncharted Seas 4".
Not only climbing walls, climbing picks are also tools that can travel around through the ropes, and a weapon for close fights... Signs that are necessary for home murder and travel, and it is still very exciting to see one side at the end.
• Tape film has two narrative account of the story is from the tape played, most games collection systems are inseparable from the tapes, also includes the original film.
• aircraft parachute play the entire film is the most exciting period. This memory of the original work has been blurred. Seeing that this memory was suddenly awakened, I turned it over and it turned out that the picture was cut at the beginning:
• pull the arrow healing 'm glad this period has not been deleted. Although there are more and more female characters with high combat effectiveness on the screen, many of them are powerful, beautiful and handsome, and never hurt, rolling in muddy water and getting hit on the face. Fist means "too much hardship". These "progresses" are just adjustments to meet the escalation of male aesthetics. The image of a woman who disregards her image, does not hesitate to destroy herself, and transforms from fragility is true and complete.
• Spear eggs that do not say it.
Although I am a gamer, in fact, the reason for my expectation of this film has nothing to do with the original, because almost all the game-changing movies are on the street without exception...
In today's context, "game change" Fedan is a bonus element, but almost a negative indicator, and it is the same shivering bomb as "being tragically animated by A1" and "joining Jingtian universe". The logic behind this I have to write another one.
I paid attention to this movie and wrote this review entirely because I liked the film's leading actress Alicia Vikander. From being questioned or even insulted in the announcement of the casting, to being recognized today, only she knows the suffering.
That's right, in fact, this is an An Liwen about Kanmei.
(Friends who watched "Annihilation" recently, remember to check out the director's predecessor, "Mechanic Ji") (Finally, to some friends: My nickname is Kanmei, not Choimei, please)
