from beginning to end, it is no wonder that the content of the movie must be completely black: in the dark night, and there is no moon at night, it is still gloomy and cold. Rain; the power was cut off again, there were no lights in the city, the only light was the flashlight and the fuel-saving lamp in my hand, and it didn't matter at all. From the perspective of the scene, it is either an open air in a dense forest, or a sealed and dull room, and more often it is in the sewer pipe of Black Blondon; plus the aliens are all black, the Predator is also disgraced and can be melted with the sewage in the sewer. Kind of one. In short: black black black!
In such blackness, what can the audience gain? scary sound? The rancid smell of black acid? Or a non-ordinary vision exercise? It's really inexplicable, maybe the director is trying to save money, so the scenes are blurred and not refined, and the number of scenes can be inconvenient to change because of the darkness.
Black, it is understandable, after all, it still has to follow the plot setting. For example, "Public Enemy", I remember it was about a killer. There are six or seven films in the series, and many scenes are also dark, but they are not criticized. So, dig a little deeper, and analyze: how's the plot?
Redundant and redundant. Alien vs. Predator, but there are few battles between the two, and there are many wordy so-called favors. There are countless actors, big and small, but there are very few who can leave a deep impression. There is only the beautiful woman who is half-naked but hangs up with soy sauce, and only the one who came back from the army and saved four people who can drive a tank. The mother of the plane - of course, wants to show family affection, but the love for her daughter is unsatisfactory. The other people who are easy to recognize are the infatuated boy who is always bullied, the stupid and loyal police officer, and the boy's rival in love, the beautiful ex-boyfriend. A domineering little bastard who died tragically. Too many people died, and their lives flashed by in a flash. The whole town was full of dead bodies, aliens slaughtered the city, and the Predators loved to kill whoever, but I don't know if it makes sense to arrange so many dead people? Doubt is that there is no support behind the tricks. It is difficult to understand why there are so many killings but the way is always monotonous, the difficulty and expectations are not at all, and the viewing rate is extremely low.
I don't know how to end such a messy plot. It's over in ten minutes. There is no wonderful success like the last ten minutes of the first or the tribute "Alien 1"; when I wonder how such a mess ends, and when I arouse curiosity and expectations for the director's strategizing skills, I get a brain experience. The ending of the sharp turn: the government sent a bomber to drop a missile, and they all died, so everything is over! Typical of him.
It can be said: the movie made by the fans is more than enthusiastic; but the lack of professionalism can easily ruin the movie.
To say my deeper feelings about this movie can be classified as follows:
1. In terms of plot: "The first film is fascinating. What is in the mysterious ruins? What are the ruins? Which team members will survive? Which ones will survive? Die? While uncovering the secrets of the pyramid step by step, another team member died. How will it end in the end? The scene setting is also good. The murals, organs, and changing stone pillars make the mysterious ruins even more scary. "But the film "killed from the beginning to the end, on the street, in the hospital, in the restaurant, in the house, in the sewers, killing everywhere, beating everywhere, getting juices everywhere, corpses, spraying blood everywhere..."
Understanding of the plot : In the first part, there was an alien at the end, who destroyed the spaceship of the Predator, crashed into the earth and came to the town, constantly multiplying and occupying the earth; Are they all dead? Only the small group of people on the spaceship?), went to the earth to take revenge, (it seems to have a taste of saving mankind, unknown). He went everywhere to hunt aliens, and the ultimate goal was to hunt down the original alien (that is, the mother of all aliens on Earth today). By killing it, the aliens will no longer reproduce. The so-called catch the thief is to catch the king, a truth. But in the end, when the two met and fought to the death, a human missile fell, turning the entire city into ashes, OVER.
As it is said: "With Gullit's braids, in the armor of the Knights of the Round Table, with seven weapons, extraordinary in skill, tall and strong, and with a set of eyes. Alien slaughtered on Earth, causing a lone Predator to slaughter." Note, he came to Earth and started to hunt down the "Ultimate Alien (Iron Alien)", but is he really capable of stopping a powerful hybrid that has mutated, combining Alien and Predator?"
So, there is still a main thread. But the interpretation is not clear.
2. Regarding the lack of plot: "My mind is probably thinking about how he will set the scene, how to choose the atmosphere, how to create the scene, and how to push it on top, and abruptly made a film that should be exciting and frightening. We, the fate of mankind, are always worrying about those aliens: 'You TMD, you should kill quickly!' Doesn't this completely subvert the work of the previous two big cows?" That's what he said. And the Predator here is also weak, it seems that it is not the opponent of Yunyun Alien, let's take the ultimate PK as an example, there is no advantage at all. It really makes the audience who see the Predator as a human hero feel distressed and embarrassed!
3. Improvements to the aliens here: 1. Why is breeding so convenient? Unlike in the first episode, the "Alien Queen" will cultivate the eggs into embryos in the basin, and then put them into the human body, and one per person, will it take time to escape from the human body? Instead, it can directly put the egg into the human body, and a new alien will be born in a while. 2. The combat capability has been strengthened. A: Because this is the "Ultimate Alien (Jagged Alien)". The type of alien is related to the parent. The first one is a normal alien, because the parent is a human. The second part is to upgrade the alien, because the parent body is a Predator - one level higher than a human.
4. Regarding the two behaviors of the Predator:
(1) Why use "corpse water"? Answer: "The identity of this character will change from "hunter" to "cleaner", and his purpose is to erase all traces of aliens or predators on Earth." That's right.
(2) Why did he come to Earth, to kill aliens, and to take off his armor in the final showdown?
Answer: "You can imagine him spending his entire life fighting, and he never wears armor because he doesn't need it." Right.
All in all, as an attempt, it basically rounded up a curiosity of Alien and Predator fans. The first part is outside the human society of science fiction, and the second part really happened in human society. How to deal with it? The movie can still more or less justify itself, and it is naturally better than "Dog's Tail Continuation of the Mink"; leaving the rest aside, the biggest flaw: it's dark and black, it can't be seen clearly!
