In recent years, with the increasing investment in American dramas and the increasingly mature shooting technology, the picture quality of many American dramas is close to the cinematic blockbuster, such as "Game of Thrones", "The Mandalorian", and this "Replica" . I accidentally watched "Duplicate: Prosthetic Body Replacement" first, and in turn followed the first season of the American drama "Duplicate". The analysis of all aspects of the drama on the Internet is already in place, and I only add a few words from my own viewing experience:
1. It has to be said that the special effects of Chinese science fiction dramas and films still have a long way to go. Speaking of why Chinese people pursue "The Wandering Earth", it is because the special effects look like a serious sci-fi movie, and I went into the theater to watch it for the sake of moving and supporting. I couldn't bear to see it until "Shanghai Fortress". In an objective evaluation, the special effects level of "The Wandering Earth" can only be regarded as the middle of the current sci-fi movies. Even compared with the American drama "Duplicate", there is still a big gap in the details. I hope that the domestic sci-fi films can make further progress!
2. The special effects of "Dungeon" are worth 5 stars, but 1-2 stars can be deducted for the plot in the second half of the season. Many American dramas are derived from novels, and then the screenwriters enrich the plot. Some adaptations have sublimated the novels, and some adaptations are very bloody. Just rant about a few things:
A. Many movies are now caught in a bloody cycle, that is, when the bad guy has the opportunity to kill the good guy, he always drags his hand, and when the good guy seizes the opportunity to kill the bad guy, he is very quick. There are so many scenes like this, which makes me often wonder who is the bad guy and who is the good guy in the play? In fact, there are many excellent sci-fi dramas that have handled this well, such as Cameron's Terminator I and Terminator II.
B. In the novel, the behind-the-scenes boss and Kovacs should not be related. In the play, it was changed to the male protagonist's sister, and the teacher-student love between Quill and the male protagonist was added. The original intention was to be more conflictive, but the result made the plot very stupid. Blood. My sister killed my brother's mentor and lover, as well as all the rebels (including women and children), with the aim of taking back my brother's love? ! Is this possible? As the final boss who has operated the criminal empire for hundreds of years, the younger sister struggles to deal with the male protagonist and several of his followers, and her IQ is completely out of line. The brother was very resolute and decisive when dealing with his sister, and even used the Rowling virus and destroyed Stack.
3. "Game of Thrones" has created the cruel death mode of the main characters. No matter how deeply the characters in the play are deeply rooted in the hearts of the audience, they may die suddenly, making people sigh that life is impermanent. The plot of "Dungeon" is so violent, but none of the male protagonist's sidekicks can't be missing? ! Sister killed Quill, but left a backup inexplicably? The artificial intelligence of Edgar Allan Poe, who was killed in the first season, was resurrected inexplicably in the second season? The policewoman made all kinds of death, and finally she was safe and sound? The black male supporting family of 3 committed suicide in various ways, but they are also safe and sound? The younger sister's Asian killer Liang was ruthless and resolute when he murdered in front of him, but he hesitated in the back?
4. Take Cameron's Terminator 1 and Terminator 2 as examples. The bad guy (killer robot) is powerful, cruel, and undead, which makes the audience worry about the good guy. . In the first season of "Dungeon", many plots were interrupted inexplicably: such a powerful rebel army (including the leader and Stack inventor Quill) was completely wiped out by the traitor's Rowling virus. How did you hold on to it? The male protagonist and a few small followers easily cracked the cloud backup system. This resurrection system that has maintained all the top dignitaries has not been safely upgraded for hundreds of years? The heroine's dress-up arm is so powerful, the hero's sister doesn't know how to modify her clone or club staff? Killer Liang was so amazing at first, so frightened that the twin clone brothers ran away, and it was so easy to die in the end? ...... There are too many plot points to vomit!
5. The special effects are really good! The investment in the first quarter will certainly not be small, and it should be higher than the official data of 70 million US dollars. The dog blood plot in the second half of the season is the biggest deduction item!
