Objectively speaking, this film is a sincere film, with interesting settings, realistic effects, good echoes, and the idea of the film. The premise is that the basic setting of the film is recognized by the audience. Just like in "2012", we recognized that the earth is going to end, so the outbreak of the dark side of human nature is real and credible; just like in "Independence Day" or "Three-Body Problem", we recognized that there are really alien civilizations invading the earth. Let all the confusion and fragility appear weak and helpless.
But from a very early time, the setting of this movie made me feel that there are insurmountable bugs, so it was difficult for me to enter the movie.
One of the most basic premise of this film is: At present, these monsters are invincible (at least before the sublimation theme of the ending movie), human beings can only keep silence, and live silently to avoid him, but not to destroy it. .
But why! The monster in the movie is really a low-level primitive creature in my eyes! First of all, let's look at its settings, group action, large volume, full force value, and excellent hearing. There is no problem with this. However, it has no eyes and relies entirely on hearing. It has a brain, and it will give up humans to attack the iron bars that make louder sounds; it is easy to be impatient, and it flies around in the room where the fire alarm is sounded; more importantly, , In terms of defensive power, he is a mortal bat that can be burned to death or shot to death with an arrow. Therefore, to sum up, it is a reckless and violent brother!
The countermeasure against monsters in the movie is to escape. This does not mean that escape is inadvisable. I can understand that humans immigrate to other planets in "Interstellar", because the earth can no longer be transformed and is not suitable for habitation. I can understand the transfer, because the sun is about to blow up, but human beings are not willing to give up this home.
But why is the setting in this movie unacceptable? The first is that it is too fast to escape and retreat. In the face of such a group of monsters, no one has even thought about fighting against him. Why can humans be so easily Abandoned your long-running home and let a group of monsters multiply and destroy it?
The second is based on the biggest bug set by monsters. Monsters can be defeated, and such a victory method is simple and not difficult to think of.
The first, the simplest and crudest method, is slightly evasive. Set up a super loud, sturdy speaker next to your building and use volume contrast to lure monsters there so you can still live a normal life. (Traveling or other, can be expanded through the same idea) Of course, this method can cure the symptoms but not the root cause, but at least it is better than everyone in the movie who lives a silent life and is scared day and night.
The second is to destroy monsters. From the perspective of monster settings, it is much simpler than imagined. Small, it can be an object shaped like a meteor hammer, with a loudspeaker device inside and spikes sticking out from the outside. Judging from the brainless setting of the monster in the movie, this method is very exciting to think about; large equipment can turn the entire building Wrapped up like a hedgehog. Of course, considering the suddenness of monster outbreaks, we need to make confrontation tools while facing monster attacks. This is difficult, but it is not insurmountable. Combining one or two methods, one person makes tools, and one person assists in making louder sounds in the surrounding area can perfectly break the game. No matter how bad it is, it can be solved by burning it, just like the car burning and exploding in the movie. How to light a tin box and make a sound without hurting yourself? Can't a slingshot do that?
Like moths to a flame, they are nothing more than low-level creatures without brains. Since it is not invincible, why should we flee, why should we be afraid. There will be short-term panic, but the wisdom of human beings is enough to support them to quickly find a countermeasure and return to the peaceful life of the past.
