The film's reputation and North American box office are not very good, because the similar plot makes people can't help but compare it with the most successful commercial film "Titanic" in history, which I think is unfair. It is also a movie about a shipwreck, "Titanic" is a love movie, and this movie is an out-and-out disaster movie. "Titanic" is nearly 3 hours long (there is even a 6-hour version in the legend), which allows it to master the ins and outs of the story, the depiction of human nature and the description of love. The main feature of this film is only less than 90 minutes long. It is unrealistic to express the same content that people expect to see and "Titanic" in such a short period of time, so this is just a disaster film. , the IMAX version also illustrates this. The purpose of this film is to let the audience enjoy the sound, light and shadow in the theater.
As a pure disaster film, the film is slightly thin. The first-class special effects cannot hide the paleness of the story and the shallowness of human portrayal. Due to the length of the film, the film started on a boat, and there was not much explanation of the background of the characters. After a song and dance, the disaster happened in an instant. Professional gamblers, single mothers, frustrated politicians, broken glass... A group of marginalized humans began to save themselves. I believe that the escape of these characters in the original novel must have its practical significance, but the film cannot express so much connotation. Forget it, unfortunately, the deaths of several characters could have been described, especially the part where the glass kicked the young cook off, but the tension in the film made it too late for this plot to unfold. When the cook's girlfriend died, the gambler's psychological change was also abrupt. A selfish gambler, who just wanted to escape, suddenly became pitiful, and in the end, like most of the heroes in Hollywood movies, it was miraculous. did not hang up. However, it is precisely because there is no expansion, so the film is still compact. The details of the film are too perfunctory, but the overall momentum is magnificent, which can be regarded as an audio-visual feast.
I don't know how many disc fans will continue to zoom in and freeze the CG picture of this film to find bugs. This seems to be the doom that every CG blockbuster can't escape, and it is also the only fun for some enthusiasts to watch such films.
I suddenly remembered, will this film become "Final Destination 4"? Ah……
