High-rise predicament, hostage crisis, a tough hero saving the world: these elements of past Hollywood action movies are completely covered in this "Sky Rescue", as if a greasy junk food is served in front of the audience. I really want to eat, but I feel a little guilty about it; not eating seems to have lost a little fun in life. Unless you have a firm and dedicated love for movies, or have absolutely no interest in Dwayne Johnson, or are an insulator of entertainment movies, it's actually hard to say you don't want to watch these three words. And it is precisely because of this complex, contradictory and curious mood to enjoy this film that "Sky Rescue" is a must-have and eye-catching work in the film entertainment market, as if the film makers told everyone: No matter what, I just want to make this kind of movie.
"Sky Rescue" seems to have become a set of formula films for Chinese-funded films to prove themselves and show their strength. As seen in movie posters, trailers, and surrounding publicity, the ubiquitous Dwayne Johnson has become a golden sign of today's entertainment movies and box office guarantees. No matter inside or outside the film, the film combines the total successful experience of Hollywood in the past to create a formulaic plot routine and bring in many Chinese-funded elements. There are fights, there are explosions, there are beauties, there are beauties, there are tough guys, there are special effects and special effects, and there are insertions. But can such an act become as simple as one plus one equals two? I think every viewer who reads it will have an answer in their hearts.
I have to say that the style of "Sky Rescue" is actually quite rich and diverse: there are many action scenes and stunt performances that are almost impossible and beyond physical common sense. With a clear positioning and box office strategy, it is not shy to show that the film is for the purpose of making money. It is a high-calorie full meal that is full of entertainment, but lacks reasonable logic and depth of plot, and is full of sound and light effects. After eating, you are full of energy and blood, but will you still remember this "Sky Rescue" after a while? Maybe you will only remember the "Ultimate Police Detective" that is also themed on the dilemma of high-rise buildings!
However, a purely entertainment movie like "Sky Rescue" still has its value. The full sense of satiety coupled with the eye-catching action fights really shows the sound and light equipment of the cinema to the extreme, and also allows us to see the magical visual effects of the movie, even if humans don't really need to climb a skyscraper, they can still look like Acting on a real skyscraper.
But the blame is that "Sky Rescue" gave me a strange feeling of being on a high-rise building. The protagonist can come and go freely, with incomparable power, but he has no fear at such a terrifying height. The high fear element has been removed, and the thrilling scenes can be safely passed every time. It can be seen that the production team does not care about the innate advantages of "Sky Rescue". The lack of delicate arrangements, settings beyond the common sense of physics, and equipment that is deliberately laid out but has no meaning at all, is completely unpredictable in the script, without properly considering whether the audience can resonate and whether they can be involved in it. Yes, let me just say that the holographic projection plate in the sphere actually has any real purpose? Just for the final fight scene? Will tourists use these boards?
The pattern of "Sky Rescue" is very large, but it looks wonderful under the strange arrangement of the total. He is definitely not a film that underperformed, but instead made me see the phenomenon of the global film market gradually shifting its focus and focus. Thirty years ago, we saw the success of Hollywood's "Ultimate Detective", and many exaggerated and unreasonable action entertainment films such as "The Devil: True Lies" have sprung up. This year's "Sky Rescue" or "Pacific Rim 2: Uprising", or the following large-scale Chinese entertainment films such as "The Megalodon" are increasing in number and themes are more and more diverse. The production of "Sky Rescue" is to let the Chinese-funded team learn from experience and learn how to make better entertainment movies with better performance. Now, in the practice stage, I think it is necessary to learn how to solve problems with formulas.
