It's a little better than I imagined, probably because the screen is bright as a whole, and it's not the type of special effects that use darkness to cover up as I imagined. In addition, the part about each character's nightmare does have elements of horror films, similar to the content that the young people in "The Clown Returns " (It) experience the most fearful content in their hearts. It is just for the PG-13 rating, which is really not exciting enough. . Eyeless Smiley man is still satisfying.
As a superhero movie, the layout of this film is really small. It only happens in this house from beginning to end, the number of characters is limited, and the action scenes are only concentrated at the end. Perhaps this film is more suitable to be seen as a teenage sci-fi movie like "The Maze Runner", where a few young people are inexplicably locked in an unfamiliar place, trying to escape, only to find a more terrifying and unknown world . It can be clearly felt that this is designed as the beginning of a series of movies, which should pave the way for the future, but it is difficult to say whether it can continue to be filmed at present.
The structure of "Maze Runner" combined with the plot of "Joker's Soul", combined with some hints against the X-Men, constitutes "The New Mutants". It feels familiar from start to finish and doesn't feel like there's anything new, except for Smiley man. This character is relatively novel in design, with a tall and thin body and a zombie-like sense of action, coupled with a bloody mouth, it still makes people a little excited. But the biggest problem is that they don't seem to be any real threat other than their scary looks, at least as a PG-13 rating, there's no way this film can turn them into memorable horror characters. The other "dead" who appeared in the characters' nightmares were also constrained during production, unable to achieve the true nightmare effect of "The Clown".
As for the huge red-eyed bear that appeared in the preview, it may be the most disappointing character. It is too ethereal, like a mass of loose sand moving slowly, and in the end, it can only create tension through sound effects. In addition, there was only one doctor in the place where they were held from beginning to end, and there was no one else to guard it, which made people feel incredible.
I still really like the five teenage characters in the film, and the film took a while to create them, each with their own characteristics. Anya Taylor-Joy's character impresses most with his mischievous yet flamboyant personality and cool attire, and Henry Zaga's muscles and physique are sure to be unforgettable. Maisie Williams and Blu Hunt's lesbian characters have more kisses than expected, and they look like a perfect match. Blu Hunt's Danny is the central character, but there seems to be more to be discovered about her superpowers. In fact, if they continue to shoot, I am interested in continuing to understand the future of these people. In particular, Anya Taylor-Joy's character Magik is very suitable for joining the X-Men or Deadpool, and is a girl who can spark sparks wherever she goes.
This film is actually related to the movie "Logan", that is, there is a place where X-23 was trained, which means that this film actually happened at the same time as "Logan", and these children will eventually be sent there for training. A chance to see the X-23 in the same frame with them. Combining all the X-Men movies, I think this is the third-last, "Apocalypse" the second-last, and "Dark Phoenix" the worst
The film was watched at the Drive in theater in Los Angeles because theaters were not yet open. You can find the radio fixed channel in the car to broadcast the sound, close the windows and doors, the sound effect is actually better than I imagined, I feel that I am in a closed space, no one can disturb you, and you are very free. It would be better if the screen could be bigger. Occasionally, some cars suddenly turn on their lights or a tricycle that sells food passes by, but most of the time you can do it if you want to concentrate on the experience. Also, it's a little slower to get in and out. Overall a very unique experience.
In addition, as the premiere venue, Blu Hunt came to the scene before the screening and came on stage to say hello to everyone
