B-level films with small and medium cost can actually best reflect the film production level of a country

As the title says, in fact, the overall feeling of this movie is still very good. The funny part is very funny (I really like the part of using Head & Shoulders to give the monster big enema), and the special effects are also remarkable. The whole story is actually very creative, and the actors performed well. I really don't know what else can be blamed for this small cost work.

The story of the film is quite creative: an alien meteorite landed on the earth, and the creatures on the meteorite evolve at a rapid rate. They changed from single-celled organisms to multi-celled organisms in a few hours, and finally generated dinosaurs, apes, and the ultimate. monster. Two unreliable scientists, a young man who has never been a firefighter, two fat men with low IQ, and a sullen military female scientist formed a team to shoulder the responsibility of saving the world. After arduous research (the male protagonist almost stripped off the female scientist’s T-shirt), they finally discovered that the nemesis of these alien creatures was Head & Shoulders shampoo.

Almost every character in the film is in a period of frustration. This frustration urges them to save the world. Everyone’s motivation is selfish: the fireman wants to become a qualified firefighter; associate professor of geology and women’s volleyball team The coach (showing how unreliable he is) wanted to use this to make a name for himself; the biology professor just broke up, and through this incident he became a couple with the military female scientist; and the two low-IQ fat guys finally made it through this incident. He got an A for failing grades (they inspired the biology professor, and the weakness of the monster is Head and Shoulders).

As the main irony of comedy, the military in the film has become a ridiculous, pedantic and bureaucratic symbol. When the alien evolutionary adult apes attacked the biologists, all of their troops were present with various advanced weapons, but none of them dared to shoot. Instead, the firefighters knocked down the apes with a few shots. When the military proposed to use incendiary bombs to destroy aliens, biologists jokingly said: You just use nuclear weapons. The military staff officer heard this and said thoughtfully: How about nuclear weapons? The governor was so angry that he cursed: Stop talking nonsense! In the end, the big monster was exploded by Head & Shoulders, and the splattered Yoneda spilled all over the military general, which can be regarded as the director's punishment.

I always feel that such a film with little investment, low technical requirements, and purely creative needs, in fact, is not that no one in China can write it, but who can make such a story?
