As a sci-fi movie, this film is undoubtedly a failure in the dazzling array of sci-fi genre films. Apart from the dazzling colors, there is no bright spot.
As a sci-fi movie, to judge its good or bad, we will have to explore her storyline. A good story is the key to the success of a sci-fi film. A good story is to gradually bring the audience into the film world from the beginning of the film, but my thinking and emotions are slow when I watch this film. Slowly withdrawing from the movie, so, from my personal point of view as an ordinary movie viewer, it is undoubtedly a failure.
The story tells about the future world. The military develops medicines to enhance the combat capabilities of soldiers, but the self-defeating experimental preparations cause a large number of people to be infected with failed experimental preparations, and as a result, a group of biochemical people with bodies different from ordinary people is born. The military built a huge isolation building, and at the same time developed the ultimate weapon against the biochemical people. In order to protect the same kind, the biochemical human organization sent the female warrior Violet (Milla Jovovich) to sneak into the military to capture the military weapons and destroy them. When Violet successfully broke into the enemy's interior and got the weapon to send it to the organization, due to her unbearable curiosity, she opened the final weapon and found that there was actually a boy inside, which evoked Violet's remaining human emotions. She decided to help this "ultimate weapon" escape, which made her pursued by both the military and the same organization. As a biochemical human, Violet has the ability to sense light and reflect that is sensitive to ordinary people, and can kill in a short time. At the same time, Violet discovered a boy with blood antigens that could destroy the cyborg, and his blood antigens should also return the cyborg to human form. In order to find a way to save the cyborg, she decides to protect the child, and in the process, Violet's motherly emotions are aroused, and she has a happy time with the boy and discovers an amazing man buried behind the number six. secret.
The reason why a movie is called a movie is that the essence of what distinguishes it from other art forms is that it is the movement of light and sound, and it tells the story by the language of the lens. However, the use of lens language in "Deadly Violet" is very clumsy. The director tries to imitate the form of comics and often uses close-up or close-up to tell the story, which does not allow the audience to have a beautiful enjoyment during the movie. Focusing on formalism and ignoring the primary point of the camera is the storytelling function, so the jump of the entire storyline is too abrupt. A good story has a foreshadowing, ups and downs, interlocking and progressively reaching a climax. In this story, we will have many questions about the setting of its characters, the development of the plot, etc., which has caused many flaws in the creation of the film.
Secondly, as a sci-fi action film, Milla Jovovich is a famous Hollywood martial arts actress. According to some relevant reports, Milla received long-term martial arts training before the film started, but in the film, if If we observe carefully, you will find that there are problems with the jumping of many fighting scenes. In the previous scene, you will find that the actors are positioned, and the next scene will be a kick from Mila. Perhaps the director is expressing it in this way. The character of Violet is very skilled, and the incoherence between shots, especially the martial arts shots, will make the film lack realism. Although Chinese films are still far behind Hollywood films in many aspects, the same action films, many Chinese films are more fluent and natural than this action film. For example, Zhang Yimou's "Hero", Tsui Hark's early film "Shushan" and so on.
The character's character angle is slightly flat and not plump, which is another major disadvantage. Whether it's Violet, No. 6, or an evil army commander, their characters are not distinctive, and they show more of a single side of their characters. At the same time, in the development of the whole plot, the character's transformation is too fast, and there is no foreshadowing. and plot to flesh out the characters.
In this step of the film, what I see is a desperate formalism. As a sci-fi movie, stunts and movements are indispensable, but if everything becomes the accumulation of color and space action, this step will fail. . A good movie is the finishing touch on the basis of telling a good story, but what I saw in this movie is superfluous on the premise that the story is not detailed and complete enough.
