Verne entertained

There is no doubt that Verne's imagination was outstanding. But everything in life is limited to your own time. Be optimistic, you can keep pace with the times. It is inevitable that your vitality is not as deep as time. The science fiction that belonged to the Verne era was re-fermented and re-produced by the director like the hero collages scattered maps under the spotlight in the movie. When it was moved to the screen, it became a fairy tale and a joke. The Mysterious Island of Adventures in the Center of the Earth is obviously a simple commercial entertainment film, it is trying to pry your golden mountain, and this theme is well presented on the screen.
The story mode of the film is similar to a treasure hunt adventure. Needless to say, such operations are the forte of Hollywood-style commercials. But if such a movie is going to be a good box office, it needs to have a strong enough cast, as in the early Indiana Joneses, and enough jokes to make audiences tolerate its inherently dullness.
In fact, the film does not have superstars to join, nor is it full of jokes. The stepfather in the film seems to be the agent in fast 5, and the muscular man with a gluttonous muscle also seems to have a tender side. Indeed, in this mysterious island of Adventures in the Center of the Earth, the treasure hunt has become a relative adventure. The hero's adventure mentality is based on the family's admiration and unremitting research on Verne. The story begins with the search for the missing grandfather. It is not difficult for the attentive public to find that the warmth card is its key.
The beginning of the film is a family dispute, which stems from the estrangement and resistance that can easily arise after the child and the stepfather live together in the same apartment due to the lack of blood relationship. The improvement of the relationship between the two must be through some kind of interaction to disintegrate the hostility and dissolve the estrangement. And so the impetus of the story begins: the child, due to curiosity and spirit of adventure, and the call of the distant grandfather, needs to make some movement, and the stepfather is responsible and willing to cooperate with this movement in order to improve the family relationship. In addition, the heroine and her father in the story were born to be affectionate. All her father has to do is make the heroine jump out of the new world. For that, he had to find something to do. The heroine's kindness is difficult to resist, and after all, her father's long-cherished wish is fulfilled. These new-style warmth pushed them to the cusp, that is this mysterious island.
Like most thrillers and mystery films, The Mysterious Island of Geocentric Adventures also confines the story's scenes in a closed space, using Bentham's utilitarian guidance to create, that is, a handful of five people In the limited space of Lost Atlantis, the human imagination is arbitrarily spread out. Disappointingly, whether in the sky or on the azure sea, there are monsters or monsters, not even monsters, but miniature versions and giant versions of creatures: elephants, lizards, and bees that seem to be equipped with GPS navigation (I The imagination seems to be weak, and it is difficult to understand the flight path of the bees in the flowers. Isn't it a figure-eight dance? In Atlantis, its biological attributes have also been tampered with by the needs of the story). Their encounters and battles with birds and electric eels all seem familiar, in Jurassic Park, in King Kong, and even in Avatar. Therefore, if this movie can make people laugh, maybe, in addition to the turbulent waves when the stepfather's love comes, the director's lack of imagination is also one of the rare jokes. At the end of the day, I had a birthday party for the whole family. I fell into my 3D glasses and thought that the so-called warmth should not be expressed in this way.
