220th film/film review of the year, Nicolas Cage's sci-fi "The Humanity Bureau" (US/2017). The film tells the story of a "survival screening" catastrophe caused by climate change and the destruction of human's own environment on the earth in 2030. It is said that this is a sci-fi film, but in my opinion, it is more like a political horror story told by the director after throwing out a frame concept, and even the special effects scenes that a sci-fi film should have are almost zero. In the future United States, the living environment has deteriorated to the point where no crops can grow, and even pure water resources have become a sought-after luxury, which directly led to the collapse of the economy, so the US government established a special agency "Human Office" , intended to find and evaluate the people at the bottom who cannot create value for the society, and send them to the "Garden of Eden" for special "care". In all fairness, Uncle Cage's acting skills are online, and the plot is not so bad that it can't be seen directly. Although the various settings and foreshadowing are flawed, the film can basically be watched. It's just that since the world view of the film has been "magnificent" created by a grand idea, the script should be finished with enough length and convincing solutions, and in fact, "Human Office" is from scientific rigor. And the finality of the problem did not come up with such sufficient persuasion. A shocking conspiracy, as well as the fate of some human beings, was decided to reverse the direction of the car chase after a few gun battles that had been hastily ended without much tossing. And a "discovery of conscience" agent and a pair of ordinary mother and son who are struggling on the edge of their survival have become the key to solving a political scandal involving millions of lives and deaths. This kind of extreme personal heroism The structure of the set is incredible, and it is difficult for the audience to have a sufficient sense of identity. Again, I don't think I can hold back stories that I can't hold back. 【Score: 5 points/10 points】
