Looking forward to it for a long time, very disappointed.
The posters are very gorgeous, not like zombie movies, but like cyberpunk. After watching the movie, I found that this is too "punk", and Philip Dick dare not be so punk...
Obviously it is a zombie movie. After watching it, I was not scared to wrap the quilt tightly. Instead, I was embarrassed and cut out the three rooms and one hall with my feet.
To be honest, the filming of Zhadao was a bit stretched, and another story about the destruction of the protagonist group by the Virgin Mary. Let's talk about it in detail below:
1. The setting of the story:
The source of the zombies is a secret weapon developed by the military or the government. Because of the out-of-control transportation, the casino city of Las Vegas has become a zombie paradise. There are two types of zombies. The boys transformed by the zombie king can run, jump and have thoughts, and the boys transformed by the boys are slow in action and are a living target.
In fact, this setting is nothing new.
2. The movie's opening MV
It is very embarrassing. It is well known that Dao Zha is a director who likes to make "epic" pictures. This is not uncommon in "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors", "BVS", and "Justice League".
But in a zombie movie, the opening of the slow-paced MV, the protagonist slashing and killing zombies, like the scene of making strawberry juice, still makes me a bit of a drama.
And the narrative rhythm of the whole movie is very wide, I will talk about this in detail later.
3. Motivation of the protagonist group:
The male protagonist, a bald, brawny man, once had a big fight in Las Vegas with a small team, and later retreated to the restaurant kitchen. One day a rich Japanese came to him for help and asked him to assemble a team to help go to the warehouse under the casino and take out 200 million US dollars. .
The male protagonist tangled symbolically, and readily agreed. And the process of assembling squad members is also smooth all the way. Seeing everyone's refreshing energy, everyone feels that going to the underground warehouse of the zombie park to withdraw money is as easy as getting a hammer in your own underground garage.
But most of you have been baptized in Zombie Paradise, and they are all people who have crawled back from the edge of death! You should know the horror of zombies and the meaning of being alive! Then, for the money, Pi Dian Pi Dian went...this motive is too weak!
Pan Zi is right. You can't hold onto W when you meet W. The water is too deep inside!
Of course, the bald man wants to use 1500W to improve his daughter's life and repair the father-daughter relationship. I don’t understand. Money or life is more important? There is a rift in the relationship between the two. If you haven't repaired it for so many years, can money be repaired? You know where your daughter is. If you haven't been looking for her for so many years, if you want to go into a ghost town, you will find her...what logic.
The first woman the bald man found, also readily agreed to him.
On the surface, she was looking for the money, but in fact she liked the guy Bald, and wanted to take the opportunity to sublimate her feelings. I still don't understand. Since you don't want money or people, then you can persuade him not to be stupid. It's not good for you two to repair the car together!
There are too many people, so I won’t talk about it one by one. I will focus on the bald man’s daughter. She will also go to the zombie paradise, in order to save a friend who doesn’t know what’s good or bad and doesn’t listen to advice and ventures into the zombie paradise, whose life or death is uncertain.
My friend, listen to people's advice, eat a full meal, you have no power to bind the chicken, wouldn't it be death to go in!
Of course, the bald man's daughter successfully joined the team, anyway, there is no need to worry about the number of people, the more people there are, the more lively. Thus, a scene of the destruction of the protagonist group by the Notre Dame has finally begun.
At this time, the movie is about to pass an hour, yes, friends, I have been procrastinating for an hour before I get to the point! ! !
4. Rhythm pulls
After finally entering the ghost town, I wrapped the quilt and prepared for the plasma eruption on the screen, and the zombies roared.
But the protagonist and the group, although they encountered some zombies and lost some people, it was still smooth, and it was very smooth even to open the code lock to get money. There is nothing thrilling about the whole process, and the sense of surprise given by the zombies is not as good as this tiger:
The only trouble is that the nuclear bomb will be detonated in advance, and some people have cut off the head of the zombie queen with a ghost, and a large number of lively zombies are about to come for revenge.
But what does this have to do with nuclear bombs and zombies. The male protagonist still exchanges emotions with his female partner, and repairs the father-daughter relationship with his daughter... Big brothers and sisters! These emotional topics, can't we chat after we go out alive? !
Zombie movies are actually watching a thrilling, bloody blood, so the rhythm must be fast, don't be sensational if you don't die, or you are dead. The emotional scenes that Dao Zha put on here are very disruptive, and I am embarrassed and cancerous.
5. Our Lady of Destroy Hope
Of course, this was not over yet, the team sacrificed almost, and the remaining few were about to run away, and found that the bald man's daughter was missing. It turned out that she left the team alone and went to another building to find the missing partner. At this time, the nuclear bomb would blow up the city in 9 minutes.
The bald man had to save his daughter, so he rushed into the group of zombies. In the end, all the members of the protagonist group died, and only one Virgin Mary survived. There is nothing to say...
6. One of her favorite characters in the whole film is her
The policewoman is the person who joined the team in the later stage, not the core, but with rich experience, clear good and evil, simple and neat, and heroic sacrifice, it is the most pleasing role in the whole film.
And it looks good!
7. The love between the zombie king and the zombie queen
The queen of the zombie had her head cut off, and the king of the zombie was distraught. He uncovered her body and found that she was still carrying a zombie baby in her belly.
Zombies have thoughts, emotions, and can even give birth. This is a highlight of the film. But this is also a commonplace talk. For this type of movie, I think Will Smith’s "I am a Legend" is better.
8. General Comment
Zha Dao wants to mix too many private goods, zombies, religion, human nature, family affection, but it is nondescript, procrastinated, and the plot is extremely weak.
As a zombie movie, it didn't give me any horror feeling, the story setting was lackluster, and I even guessed the plot below many times.
The character set of the protagonist group is too complicated and too simple, it is better to simplify it and dig a little deeper.
All in all, this movie is quite satisfactory, don't watch it with anticipation, and reluctantly eat.
Maybe it was because I had high expectations before, so I was so disappointed, so I continue to look forward to Zhadao’s new works~
