With the withdrawal of all the Spring Festival movies, the cinema will also be closed tomorrow. This Spring Festival is unforgettable for movie fans and film practitioners.

I still had a voucher, so I went to the cinema. There are not many choices, but I can only watch the "new film" "Extinction" drawn last weekend. Entering the theater, I found myself the only audience member.

Because it is a batch film, it was released a year and a half later, so this film did not attract much attention at all. The quality of the movie is also average, but better than I expected. I don't know if it's because of the reservation, but I actually watched this small-budget sci-fi film very carefully. Although I had already guessed the ending, I felt that it was still entertaining.

Humans want to get rid of artificial intelligence robots that have become "smart" and uncontrollable, but unexpectedly, the robots have joined forces to drive humans to Mars. After the victory, the robot leader decided to clear this part of the unpleasant experience and create a harmonious atmosphere, so except for the core decision makers, other robots were brainwashed, implanted with good memories, and combined into a human-like family. A few years later, human beings finally counterattacked and returned to Earth to wipe out the robots.

The protagonist's family is a robot, the mother and the eldest daughter are most like machines, but the father has no mechanical sense, and the youngest daughter only cries and drags her legs. The family atmosphere in the play is not very ideal, which is very harmful to the movie's "family core" theme. . They didn't realize until the end that they were machines, not flesh and blood. How could it be possible? Don't they know that people grow up and grow old?

The idea of ​​the movie is very good, but due to the limited budget, it cannot be more specific and perfect, the special effects are poor, the explosion is the cheapest visual effect... My attention is almost all drawn by Liz Capan attracted to go.

I've seen a lot of this woman's movies, but I've never been impressed. It's really strange. Did she play Mean Girls? I don't remember! And the heroine of "The Cloverfield File", I forgot! And "127 Hours", isn't it Fu Lanlan's one-man show? Is she still in there?

In "Extinction", Liz's big bags under the eyes are particularly popular, and she also painted pink eye shadow, her eyes are empty and strange, and she has a taste of challenging herself. She is so much better than the male lead!

The movie subtitles rose, and I stood alone in the center of the theater, feeling dazed. This kind of "private room" seems to have not happened since 2012, forcing me to go into sentimental mode. When I went out, a lot of barber chairs were piled up in the corner of the mall, saying they were going to be sold. Who would buy home a barber chair with pedals? I got on the bus and found that I had chartered a car again. Not a single passenger came up along the way, and no one was waiting at every stop sign. The crowd of yesterday is gone.

I got out of the car and took a breath of air. In fact, the weather was fine today, no wind, sunshine, and no smog, but I couldn't be happy. This holiday seems to be the only way to stay at home.

    Peter: [narrating] Our world keeps moving. Changing. Evolving. And so do we. I know who I am now. And I know my enemy. We're not that different. Maybe, if others can see that, we'll have a future after all.
