This is an old film from two years ago. I don't know which part of the electric review was wrong, but it was introduced in China at the end of 2008 for the Lunar New Year. It is estimated that Cage's fans have already seen the disc, and less enthusiastic audiences will not pay much attention to this silent "blockbuster", and the downturn in the future box office is completely predictable. (This does not require superpowers!)
To be fair: this film is not only a bit anticlimactic and not logically rigorous, but also in the cast, the rhythm of the plot, the soundtrack, the pictures, and even the unique subject matter.
In terms of actors, it goes without saying that Nicolas Cage, Julianne Moore is also familiar enough, and Jessica, the big wave of beauty, and Klay Schumann, who played the cool killer in "Wanted", are completely blockbuster pomp. From the very beginning, Cage's chase scene in Las Vegas to save people, steal a car and escape, brought the audience into a compact plot, and became more and more interested in the play of Cage's superpowers. When Cage and Jessica drove through the empty and magnificent Grand Canyon in the back, the pictures and soundtracks also looked very atmospheric-all of which were basically invisible when watching the disc.
Traveling through time and space, changing the past or the future, is one of the most important themes of sci-fi films: unfortunately, films in this area inevitably have logical loopholes. The core question is: once the time travels and the events that have happened are changed, will the subsequent events be affected and changed in the same time and space, or will they become parallel universes and develop independently? The representatives of the former are: "Future Warrior" and "Butterfly Effect" and "Death Is Coming", while the representative work of the latter is "Time and Space Clues" starring Denzel Washington. The most confusing place is: many screenwriters I didn't even know whether to adopt the former or the latter theory, so the audience couldn't understand it even more.
The time travel of this movie is relatively simple: Cage's basic superpower is to be able to predict what will happen within 2 minutes - so as to change his choice and gain favorable development. Many interesting details in the film are based on this, such as dodging the sniper's bullet (the posture is too far from Neo) throwing the stick ahead of time, just hitting the guard running around the corner...
If that's all, I'm afraid I can't make up a complete story, let alone help the police find the nuclear bomb. Therefore, the screenwriter resorted to a very rogue trick: Cage can foresee a long time for anything related to the heroine that Cage likes - some netizens said that it was because Cage slept with others, Yin complements Yang, that's why... haha.
In fact, as long as 2 minutes can be foreseen, infinity can theoretically be foreseen: because it can be nested, predict the next 2 minutes of 2 minutes and the next 2 minutes of the next 2 minutes... Of course, this may be more labor-intensive, Cage's mind The CPU burns out easily. In the movie, when he predicted the location of the nuclear bomb based on TV news reports, he should have done the same, so he had a painful expression on his face.
The most surprising and puzzling part of this film is that the plot stopped abruptly as soon as it reached its climax, and suddenly flashed back to the middle of the film, and then told everyone that what happened next was just Cage's foresight, and from this moment Since then, Cage, for love, intends to take the initiative to cooperate with the FBI, so that the heroine can stay out of the matter - this is too ridiculous, right? Without the heroine, how can Cage foresee things beyond 2 minutes? What are the chances of a successful rescue by taking action 2 minutes before the bomb goes off? How much love can be so rambunctious :)
