These old Americans are really obsessed with the embassy... Maybe there is a sense of belonging there. In addition, does the director and screenwriter have a grudge against our President Ma or do you think that President Zhou is living too well?
An hour and a half full of rants. I think the director probably ended the filming while ranting about himself... But if you put aside these damn rants, it's generally justified. There are no ordinary citizens who suddenly turn into Iron Man at a critical moment, nor are there any heroes who save the world. Even in the end, humans will only tear down one tower of their opponents. Disasters are like this. You don't need to ask, and you won't be asked to do any preparatory exercises, especially this kind of instant global super disaster. In case one day we also encounter a technological superhero and treat human beings like we treat worms as a racial invasion, the actions that individuals can take are nothing more than this: hide, run, and survive first. Maybe now bugs are always hiding in the dark and biting someone unexpectedly, because this has already happened once...
There is no difference between heroes and mortals, the key depends on what kind of characteristics can be inspired in a certain situation, even if the result is turned to ashes. After all, there are many disaster films that implant a kind of persistence and courage in the face of a huge threat in the subconscious mind. The film makes that intent clear and doesn't seem pretentious, so I really can't give a reason to give it a low score.
In general, don't watch it as a blockbuster, it isn't.
