After finishing my ten-yuan fried rice noodles, I lay on the sofa and took stock of some highlights and pitfalls after watching the premiere (micro-spoilers)?
First of all, let me talk about a few highlights that I have racked my brains to come up with:
Aspect 1: Mecha, this enlarged version of "Transformers" really gives you a sense of shock beyond Transformers. Especially the two fights between the "Wanderer" and the "Obsidian Avenger" in Sydney and Siberia in the first half of the movie were particularly enjoyable. The word I could think of at that time was "Fuck, it's a good fight" (probably because I didn't read much. )
Aspect 2: The mecha lineup, the boss mecha is of course the battle-hardened Vagabond, and the other three younger brothers are "Hammer", "Whip Dancer" and "Double Swordsman". Personally, my favorite is the "Saber Athena", which plays with two knives, especially the trick in the film that rotates and jumps and then slashes your belly. The thief is fucking handsome. What immediately comes to mind is the scene in "X-Men: Apocalypse" when the spirit butterfly splits the flying car
Aspect 3: The decisive battle in Tokyo, the creative material of Pacific Rim comes from Japanese animation and film and television, so the location of this decisive battle in Tokyo is a bit like letting mechas and monsters return to their parents' homes. There are also Gundam statues in the film, which is self-evident.
Aspect 4: The integrated monster, the team battle mecha won the first half of the Tokyo decisive battle. As a result, the villain directly merged the monsters in the second half (the villain: "The team fight is not good, so let's go to the mid lane"), and then the mecha was hanged and beaten by the larger version of the monster.
There are also several pitfalls:
Slot 1: The plot in the first half was a bit long and procrastinated. As soon as I sat down, I waited for the mecha and the monsters. As a result, the monsters only appeared in the second half. The first mecha battle was half an hour later.
Slot 2: Jing Tian and Scott Eastwood, Scott's father is the old cowboy Clint Eastwood, his status in Hollywood is compared to Jackie Chan's status in the Chinese film and television circle. More than that. Over the years, he has been silently supporting his son's development in Hollywood. It's not bad. Now the audience thinks of the old cowboy when they see Scott. Other than that, there is no other impression, either the movie starring in the movie is below 6 points, or the blockbuster participating in the role does not look like any supporting role. The role played by Jing Tian in the film made me immediately think of the role played by Li Bingbing in "Transformers 4". She is also a domineering and powerful female leader, and she is also the head of an unmanned combat mecha group in China. , In the end, the same mecha appeared in a mutiny???. In contrast, Jing Tian played more roles in this film, but the aura was still not as good as Li Bingbing's. It almost made me laugh when I first came out. Hopefully this film will give these two a boost in their acting careers.
Slot 3: Since the mainland box office exceeded the North American box office when the first film was released, this film even set the main scene as the defense army's Chinese base (of course, this is also related to Wanda Holdings' Legendary Pictures), I don't know how many people there are Like me, I'm counting which Chinese stars have cameos in the movie
Slot 4: I always demolish houses when I have nothing to do. No matter if I fight or not, I will fight a few houses before I make a move. I am wondering, the ten years of peace that I have finally exchanged, and it is difficult to rebuild it. Can it be done? Try not to dismantle?
Slot 5: The move that falls from the sky, and the move that knocks out the super monster at the end reminds me of the move by Xingye to defeat the evil god of fire in Kung Fu. You will know if it is true or not.
Slot 6: A deja vu method. This trick is used to prevent the monster from jumping into the mouth of Mount Fuji and exploding. The doctor's explanation in the film is: the blood of the monster mixed with the rare elements in Mount Fuji will produce a huge explosion of energy, and then cause a series of explosions. earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, and eventually the entire coast of the Pacific plate is inevitable. In fact, at the end of World War II, in order to defeat Japan as soon as possible, Mao Xiong once formulated a plan to bomb the Fuji Mountain Pass in Japan with super bombs. Later, the results were known. The United States dropped two atomic bombs first, completely destroying Japan's will to resist. However, the inspiration for the creation of monsters that appeared in film and television works in Japan in the future came from the nuclear radiation that was bombed by the atomic bomb?
Slot 7: The third part is a foreshadowing. The end of the film tells everyone in a similar way as an easter egg. The third part may be that we go to the monster's hometown to fight monsters. At this time, I even thought about the Chinese translation name, so I called it "Pacific Rim 3: Straight to Huanglong".
Slot 8: It almost turned into a Transformers War. As soon as Jing Tian's Shaw Group's drone was deployed and launched, it was successfully hacked by the villain and began to counterattack the Defense Forces. When I saw this, I was shocked. Is this TM really going to become a Transformers War? Fortunately, at a critical juncture, Jingtian successfully shut down all the drones with one click. A little bit more puzzling is that the appearance of the "Obsidian Avenger" is to promote the deployment of drones. At first, I suspected that it was Jing Tian of Shaw Brothers behind the scenes, but as the plot progressed, it was obviously not her, and it pointed to more There is a possible villain Dr. But can he create such an awesome mecha by himself? I don't know if there is a hidden plot or foreshadowing here
