Where did the thunder come from?

The science fiction theme of time travel is just an appearance. The selling point of the film lies in the biological mutation caused by the error of time travel, which produces all kinds of monsters, which brings the protagonist many near-miss ordeals, and brings sensory stimulation to the audience. A slight change in prehistory will change the evolutionary process of the entire earth's organisms. This concept is not difficult to understand, the butterfly effect. However, this kind of influence is not transmitted along the chain of evolution. The protagonists have returned to the still normal modern society, but the situation has deteriorated little by little. It is called "time wave" in Chinese and American. In order to reverse this situation, the protagonists have gone through all the hardships and tried their best to return to the scene of the incident and corrected the mistake. Of course, the result is that the protagonist can turn the tide, the building will collapse, and the world will return to peace and tranquility.

All I can say is that the imagination of the screenwriters is ridiculously poor. They borrowed a sci-fi theme and went to the monster theme, because they do not need scientific rigor and logical rationality. As long as it is exciting enough to surprise the audience. But even the biggest selling point of the film—the monsters’ special effects are not high-level, and compared to other American blockbusters, it can be called clumsy. It's not surprising that this kind of film that needs depth without depth and special effects without special effects was scored 3.8 points on imdb.

I cried for the last 90 minutes.
