"The Orville" (a new American drama launched this month, serialized to the second episode as of press time), this work belongs to a series of relatively "embarrassing" genres, with half the positive and negative reviews, and it's too bad" It's useless", it's so good that it's "rewarded", very extreme and very controversial!
Since the two sides have their own opinions, the author will try to talk about some personal views on this new American drama from a third-party perspective, purely "on the matter of fact", and share it with American drama fans.
Let's talk about the advantages of this American drama first.
I, high-quality pictures
first say "special effects", a word "great". It is worthy of being produced by FOX in the United States, and the level of special effects is completely comparable to that of first-class Hollywood blockbusters. Personally, I am quite satisfied.
Talking about "composition" again, four words describe "magnificent". Because it is a sci-fi theme, the works are interspersed with a lot of shots of outer space and spacecraft, which are quite touching and shocking.
II, talented screenwriter
According to my personal understanding, many fans of American dramas will have some habitual actions when selecting films, such as, "Let's see if there are any actors you like appear?" "Is it directed by a big-name director or screenwriter?"" Is it your favorite type of subject?" Wait.
Although the author will not pay attention to so much information, but in the process of watching the film, I will also understand it subconsciously. Just like today's work, whose screenwriter and starring is the famous Seth MacFarlane, this information point is hard to miss.
"Seth, who are you?" To put it simply, this man is the screenwriter of the spoof movie series "Teddy Bear" and the popular and funny American drama "Spoof House". In the American film and television industry, Seth's popularity is not generally high. This time he wrote and starred in the new drama "The Orville" again, which still made me a little bit looking forward to it.
After the praise, let's discuss the shortcomings of this work.
I, the story is not attractive enough
. The plot of this work is relatively monotonous and does not have any new ideas. It feels like it is completely imitating the super classic series "Star Trek". The characters, story trends, and interstellar exploration trajectories are basically the same. Although there are some funny bridges interspersed from time to time (such as the dialogue between Ed Mercer's parents and sons in the second episode), it is nothing more than that, and there is not much content to pay attention to. , not to mention any memorable episodes.
II, the comedy effect is not outstanding
This work is classified as science fiction and comedy, and I don't understand it personally.
Say "Sci-Fi", yes! At least show you some space, spaceships, aliens, high-tech stuff.
But insisting that it is "comedy", I really disagree. First of all, where is the "smile"? Almost impossible to find! All the way is straightforward, and the jokes are hard to find. (It's too far from the sitcom "Marlon" that I'm chasing at the same time.) Second, where are the "funny people"? In normal thinking, Ed should be the first choice, but this guy doesn't have any Coke other than being "green hated" at the beginning? ! The most embarrassing thing is that the two protagonists (Ed of "Like a Madman" and Kelly of "King Kong Appearance") have no chemical reaction at all. This group of inexplicable actors is a bit ridiculous.
It seems that this series is going to be the funniest comedy I have ever encountered this year!
In a few words, I briefly explained the pros and cons of the work. I hope the above personal post-viewing experience can help fans of American dramas. Due to physical reasons, I will stop writing and see you tomorrow.
Director★★★☆☆(There seems to be a deviation in the positioning of the work)
Actor★★☆☆☆(To put it bluntly, Seth is not suitable for reality show, only suitable for dubbing; the heroine is also unsatisfactory)
Plot ★★★☆☆( Too bland, too ordinary, Seth's script is a bit weak)
Visual effects★★★★☆(very feeling, immersive)
Sound effects★☆☆☆☆(Too bad, isn't this from "Star Trek" The cut audio track?!)
Expectation ★★★☆☆ (hope that the follow-up plot can improve, don't disappoint fans
of the drama) Recommendation ★★★☆☆ (You can take a look when the film is short, if there is any The drama is chasing, this one will wait and see for the time being)
