Is this really a movie made in 2014?

Does anyone have an answer to the question in the title?

Because I suspect that the theater is showing me old movies from ten or even twenty years ago, will I be deceived by the theater? Can I get him to lose money?

The only gratifying thing about the film is that the male and female are relatively beautiful, and the rest are useless, so I don't recommend watching it at all. Who decided to import this film into China? install?

The entire tone of the film is the gladiator Roman gladiator style that was popular in the last century. It is dark and low-saturated, completely out of touch with this era.

I read it for the word Pompeii, and it was a big mistake not to read the introduction beforehand. It is even more wrong to buy a Mandarin dubbing field by mistake. After reading it, I feel like what I just watched is a review of CCTV6 classic old movies.

The first and second meeting of the male and female protagonists only took ten minutes in total, and the dialogue did not exceed five sentences. The third time they met, they decided to elope and work for each other. The whole film is constantly fighting and killing, and it has a woolly relationship with Pompeii. The only thing about Pompeii is that the story is set in Pompeii's time. But it's perfectly fine to change the whole story to any place and any era, completely opportunistic to borrow a Pompeii gimmick.

If you can get a negative score, give it a negative score.

    Typical "special effects" film. Put a bunch of routine elements such as "Bullies to Marry", "Heroes Save the Beauty", "Gentlemen's Revenge" and other routine elements to provide a reasonable stage for special effects to show off. Pompeii restored beautifully (especially the arena), but unfortunately, the interior of the houses was not given (the details of the murals are interesting). The destruction was wonderful (volcano + earthquake + tsunami). The 3D effect is good. And it reverses the tradition of the protagonist of the disaster movie that the golden finger opens to the end, and the ending is somewhat romantic.

    The end of the age of Pompeii can only be attributed to the forces of nature, but its human gloom and decline transcended the storms that preceded the disaster. The gladiator lifted the iron shackles and shouted loudly to meet the call of death with the voice of freedom; the cowardly Pompeii lord and his wife lay peacefully in the ruins of the arena holding hands; the unscrupulous councillor was finally buried under the judgment of "God" ; The death of the hero and heroine, such as the "Titanic" romance...

Pompeii quotes

  • Cassia: Is this the end of the world? Why would the gods let this happen?

  • [first lines]

    Title Card: In the darkness you could hear the crying of women, the wailing of infants, and the shouting of men. Some prayed for help. Others wished for death. But still more imagined that there were no Gods left, and that the universe was plunged into eternal darkness. - Pliny the Younger, A.D. 79.
