First up and then down
Yang 1. The story is compact and complete. It tells about the struggle between two reincarnation organizations with different ideas - they can be called "believers" and "nothingness" - in the end, the "believers" side wins and saves the world s story.
2. The settings of reincarnation and memory continuation are very attractive in themselves, so if you are still bored after watching the whole movie, then I think you are either suitable for watching Transformers, fast pursuit and killing all the way to the end. Cool film, or just indifferent to this subject matter.
3. The montage in which the male protagonist was drowning and returning to the light to trace his memory was very well shot. The primitive era, the Middle Ages, the Edo era, the British royal family... These scenes are very shocking when they are cut together, which shows how big the pattern is. I really want the director to shoot the reincarnation story of each scene.
4. The movie contributed several iconic action scenes, which are really cool and cool.
Summary: a high degree of story completion, attractive settings, montages, several iconic action scenes
suppress
Needless to say, after watching this movie, many people will definitely start digging up the logic loopholes in the movie. The aunt in the vegetable market looks like an expert when they look for bugs.
Every movie has logical loopholes, but that's not why you spurn a movie.
The following analyzes several film design issues that affect the look and feel:
1. Extra supporting characters.
BOSS female attendant, the whole film is useless, but the shape is very concave.
Looking at this arrogant posing as a B, he didn't bring a gun, and directly confronted the injured heroine, but he hung up in less than a minute.
Asian kills Matt's female master
When I came out, Ye asked me to hit ten, thinking it was too much, but what happened? Go out with the male protagonist and kill him with one shot.
Neither of the two characters who pretend to be B will end well. It is really necessary to be cautious when pretending to be B!
2. The heroine
Before the female lead explained her identity to the male lead, I thought the male lead was her dead partner.
Because, this is the only way to explain why the heroine always looks affectionate to the hero!
There is also this physical contact, just like Louis Lane to say "You smell so good" to Superman.
Although the relationship between the heroine and her partner is really touching, the relationship with the hero is really disappointing.
3. Force the plot
There are several scenes in the movie that force the plot forward, the most obvious being the fight between the female attendant and the heroine.
At the beginning, it was still hot weapons, and now it is directly changed to hand-to-hand combat. It's okay if you say that the heroine has no bullets, but you, the villain, don't need a gun, so you have to learn from Stallone to prove yourself one-on-one. People who have lived for centuries, how can their IQ degenerate like you! Force play.
4. A little bit of fighting
The bearded one-on-one BOSS and the heroine's one-on-one female follower, these two fighting scenes did not exceed one minute, and the dominant side was obvious from the beginning of the fight.
What kind of play is exciting? Both sides have the advantage of each other, and both sides suffer. Instead of taking advantage of one side from the beginning, such a fight will only make people tired and want to end quickly.
5. Not enough budget
The katana slashes bullets, the coolest part of the whole film is only five seconds.
The scuffle in the air at the end of the film, the bad action editing and the poor special effects, is really the worst of all the air scenes I have ever seen.
And this special effect obviously can't match the front, it looks very abrupt! The director was afraid that he found that the budget was not enough after filming this, and the feeling of the 86 version of Journey to the West with special effects was about to come out.
Summary: redundant supporting roles, awkward heroines, forcibly promoting the plot, casual fighting scenes, insufficient budget
——Update 6.13, those details you are easy to ignore
Infinity is based on the novel The Rein carnationist Papers by D. Eric Maikranz. I haven't read the original book, so I can only find the hole dug by the director and screenwriter from the content presented in the movie.
1. The old lady in the wheelchair with white hair
The identity of the old lady is the technical staff of the organization. When the villain hunts down the believer's Shanshui villa, in the dialogue between the villain and the old lady, it can be known that the two had a relationship.
The story of these two people can really add some more scene descriptions to make the characters fuller. Because the whole movie looks from the characterization, the villain is just a bad guy with evil intentions, and the old lady is just a bento who has read two lines.
2. The reason why the villain hates reincarnation
According to the villain, Baidu took a look and found that the embryonic form of the brain is formed, which means that the brain is formed within one month of pregnancy.
Please think about the situation of a fully conscious fetus in the placenta for nine months. Isn't it terrifying?
3. The super power of the male protagonist
In this holographic projection, the old lady said in her interpretation to the male protagonist that the male protagonist has the ability to control the surrounding position, which also explains the jumping in the opening scene that does not conform to the laws of physics, and the shocking Tom Cruise at the end of the film. Lying on the plane drama.
In addition, in this holographic projection, you can clearly see a human figure walking on the helicopter, indicating the aircraft war at the end of the film.
The movie does not describe how the male protagonist's superpowers come about. If there is a sequel, you can take a good look at it.
4. BGM
The male protagonist uses the superpower twice, both with the same BGM
———
Although the movie has many deficiencies, considering the small situation in Hollywood affected by the epidemic in the past two years, "Infinite" can be regarded as a qualified popcorn movie worth watching. 5.5 is too low, 6.5 is more reasonable.
A final addition:
Reincarnation and memory continuation, such a big movie should be made into an epic film like "Cloud Atlas", but the pattern is only revealed in the montage of the male protagonist reminiscing about his past life. Although I know that the director just wants to make a popcorn movie, I still feel a pity for such a good setting.
