I have read the director’s short comment, which probably means that I want to change a group of people working together to explore outer space, and then the protagonist team encounters many hardships but never fails. At this point, the director has done it. But compared to the content after the change, I believe that the brothers who have seen it should still hope that there is no change. Especially as a person who followed a series of "Stargate" and "Atlantis".
First, the atmosphere. Not to mention the content of the previous works, but the unified atmosphere is optimistic and hopeful. Every time when it seems that there is nowhere to go, the male pig's feet can often find a successful turning point. But this work is mainly a kind of extremely pessimistic and disappointed atmosphere of a group of people trapped on the sinking Titanic. At the beginning, there was a lottery for life and death. Draw the only lifeboat in fifteen people (let’s say so), which reminds me of the scene of women and children on the lifeboat on the Titanic, men helplessly sinking with the boat, everyone still has trouble going to the flying rookie Saying last words on the ball, the atmosphere is depressing, not inferior to Schindler's list.
Secondly, the team. In the Stargate series, there is a good team. Everyone knows that the world to be explored and the enemies to be faced are extremely powerful. Everyone will try their best to experience the feelings of others and help their teammates tide over the difficulties. But what about this team? Of course, there is a reasonable explanation that everyone was involved inadvertently. So it's a mess, mutual suspicion, mutual distrust, and even tearing down of each other. As ordinary people, there are reasons, but as the leaders of the team, I still do each other right. I can't think of a better result other than suicide. If it were in the real world, the Discovery spacecraft would have exploded a long time ago. What about the protagonist's law of immortality? The chief scientist on the ship was stingy and jealous. He did everything without wanting others to help. Even at the critical moment of life and death, he even framed the security captain (the name forgot), as if he was afraid that the team would not leave. Besides, the security captain was very neutral. A person who does not have the leadership ability of Colonel Shepard and the qualified team wisdom can use the opportunity of soul debriefing (that is, with that stone) to go back to beat his own boss who only had a few glasses of wine with his wife. Able to leave the chief scientist waiting to die on the deserted planet in a fit of anger. He is incapable and unwilling to retreat to the second line to give up management. He is a good person, and can only be said to be a good person. Under his management, the crew is very popular. Floating, the army is distracted; it looks like RODNEY’s computer genius in the previous game. His main job is to play haha (It’s strange how he is in such a good mood at all times). The problem cannot be solved at the critical moment, and the internal struggle is not helpful at all times. See The girl was even more awkward (the girl Kelly was drunk when she returned to the earth, and she got it in the car and XX, but the colonel snatched it back). He was originally in the time when the chief professor was "dead". I did a lot of things, I could have a close-up, but the director basically took it all...In short, no advantage is his advantage; Kelly Meimei, the basic job is to chat with the colonel, mostly useless in the task, a vase; The Chinese woman sent by the IOA wanted to seize power all day long, but she had no determination and no ability. She seemed to be gay..., others would not say.
In fact, these people can form a good group, such as the chief scientist, he can have a weird temper, but if he actively expresses his willingness to cooperate with the security captain on the ship, and try to gather more forces to study the spacecraft and work together, he will Become Rodney second; the security captain can put aside the child’s grudge, pay attention to the overall situation when danger comes, try to cooperate with the Chinese lady of IOA and the chief scientist, plus all the armed forces are obedient to him, I believe he will be good Leadership; computer geniuses can concentrate on assisting the chief scientist, solve problems together, and become the pistachio and cohesive core of the crew, not just haha with that girl, he will play a greater role; the girl Kelly, is Harvard studying politics, You should make good use of your own strengths to adjust the relationship between the IOA and the security director, and at least ensure that the earth’s IOA leaders can stay together with the security director under the severe situation that the spacecraft cannot be controlled or dialed. It is a pity that the director gave The position of this girl is the vase. The director expressed all his personal shortcomings in detail, and the result was a hell tomorrow. Today all the leaders have to quarrel, intrigue, and distrust each other, and most people are pessimistic and desperate. Spaceship team.
Finally, focus on shooting. One of the characteristics of Stargate is that the task is more important than emotion. After all, the Stargate in the story is basically a arena for gathering talents from all over the world, and everyone does their best to shine on the Stargate project. Although there are only a few protagonists, every task they complete can be completed by a group of capable talents as logistics. The Stargate is equivalent to a huge research institute. In the research institute, it is not impossible to have love and affection. , But these elements should be like the vinegar when eating dumplings. They cannot be absent, but they can only be used as seasonings. Dumplings—or the task is the protagonist. But looking back at "Universe", the name is pretty good, but most of what we see is that everyone is arguing that has nothing to do with the task and there is too much emotional catharsis, which is completely out of the same spectrum with this great name. I don’t deny that everyone has emotions, but on a spacecraft where survival is a problem, should solving the problems of the spacecraft be the first priority? This time, the situation is more sinister than the previous ones. There is no supply, no assistance, and even the spacecraft cannot be manipulated. This is the moment when everyone works together to ensure that they can still see the sun tomorrow. Most of the time is spent on, for example, how our security captain visits his long-separated wife and asks for forgiveness, how Kelly visits her mother who has just lost her husband to comfort each other, and how the security captain’s superiors on earth are trapped by his subordinates. On the boat, I found the subordinate's wife Xunhua and asked Liu, and was almost beaten. These shots, if moderately, will make people feel like adding a little salt to the dishes, and let people appreciate how homesick the people trapped in the boat are, but if the salt becomes the main dish, I'm afraid everyone can't eat it anymore. The result is exactly the case. We did not see people’s efforts to solve the problem. We only saw how depressed and sad the trapped people were, as if they were a corner of a large refugee camp. In addition to depression and darkness, the viewers no longer Can't feel anything.
It is a good thing for the director to change his mind, and it is understandable to want to escape the heroic story, but he does not know that heroism itself is a kind of popular, suitable for all ages, and never get tired of it. Look and feel. From the oldest "Gilgamesh" to "The Story of King Gesar", from the story of Prince Charming to the current Spider-Man, Iron Man,...man, Ultraman and Naruto in the comics. Heroism is a complex that cannot be abandoned. Maybe some people are obsessed with Mr. Qiong Yao's works, maybe some people think that the twilight city in the UK (that is, the love between modern vampires and girls) is very moved, but I believe they will not dislike heroes. The story of Stargate is basically a heroic epic. Once the hero is abandoned and everyone becomes the surname of the flat-headed boss that can be seen everywhere in reality, then the story immediately loses its beauty.
