In the name of dragon set

Fear is fear itself. Just like Sadako’s horror lies in the face covered by long hair, the horror of the Predator lies in the invisible and intangible but unable to avoid and confront; just as the zombie is the representation of the densely packed low-end immigrants, the Predator is the helpless, cruel The "social jungle" (and perhaps more specific memories of the Vietnam War) fear "personification". Therefore, although the plot and scene of the first Predator are simple, and the vagueness and alienation of the Predator who does not know where he came, where he ends, and what he does not know, it just creates a good sense of horror.

However, the industrial model and business needs of Hollywood have ruined this IP, constantly trying to shape it, explaining the cause and effect, and making the story round and elongated. The mystery is gone, the tension is gone, and in this film, it has completely become a villain who cooperates with "superheroes", facing a group of protagonists and assistants who show off all kinds of cheap love and feelings. The hero of the corner, forced to cooperate and pretend to be cowardly and brainless, and finally the director said a cut, "Ah, ah, I'm dead", lay down and finished playing. It is estimated that the Predator squatted in the corner eating a boxed lunch, and had to scold 10,000 times in his heart, "Let Lao Tzu run so far from the aliens to be a sapiens for you, wipe."

If this IP continues in this way, it will either be finished sooner or later, or it will become a vulgar thing in the superhero platter.

    The editing was a mess, with obvious cuts from the script that made the story very incoherent. The rhythm has been rushing to the scene, and the staging of the big scene is very good and some don't work. There is even a lack of over shots between scenes. There are abruptness caused by the lack of content, and there are also bugs in the plot itself. An alien killer uses this protective measure to let the researcher press his arm? ? ? Are you kidding? ? Not even a cage? As long as you wake up, you can run away. Dad knows that his son is in danger, but he does other things slowly first. It's too pediatric. Trying to pay tribute to the first part, there are wonderful scene scheduling, and there are places where shit doesn't make sense. Should have taken the time to reshoot and recut it would have been better. The current version is too messy and not smooth. His style is far stronger than that of a film like Megalodon, but the coherence of the story is much less. It's a good idea to get global warming in. Jagged dog lacks explanation.

    For a cool film like this, the budget is only 100 million yuan, and if you want to ensure the audio-visual effect, you can only cut a knife on the actors - I feel sorry for my Alfie Allen for a second! Anyway, I don't want to talk about all the causes and consequences like Alien, and it is enough to pay tribute to the classics. [I just want to know what brand Dr. Sister's bag is, it is resistant to manufacture and wear and does not deform, and it has been carried on its back from beginning to end!
