The film director Xu Chengyi, nicknamed "Father of Shrek", naturally has high hopes for directing this film. Sure enough, it came from DreamWorks. The design of the monsters in the movie is quite similar to DreamWorks' classic animation "How to Train Your Dragon", especially those large and ferocious monsters, which are too similar to those in "How to Train Your Dragon 2" dragon. And the young director also brought Hollywood-style production methods to the film, which is really refreshing, especially the special effects of the film. Although there are still some traces of animation in the rendering of the monsters, I saw the trailer of this film before, and I thought it was another domestic special effects film. But there is no need for anyone to explain, this is a fucking surprise. The facial capture of the monster is quite good, and the character's mouth shape is surprisingly consistent. The most important point is that there are almost no synthetic traces in this film. The real characters and scenes are similar to The virtual monsters are very well integrated, and even the action scenes are perfectly coordinated. Of course, the most surprising thing to the author is that the director said at today's press conference that the special effects team for this film turned out to be an all-Chinese class. I don't know if the director is joking or rhetoric. If it is what he said, then in this film Under the limited cost of the film, the special effects of the film can achieve this level, which can be regarded as the pinnacle of Chinese films.
At the same time, not only the special effects of the movie are very good, but the 3D effect is also very good. Maybe it's because I watched it in the LUXE giant screen with RealD 6FL brightness, and the high brightness enhanced the effect of the film. Although "Monster Hunt" did not have the out-screen effect that the audience was keen on, the depth of the film and the three-dimensional effect were indeed achieved. The author's request, to know that the author is also a very picky 3D movie fans.
There is also the soundtrack of the movie, which is full of Japanese oriental symphony, which is very nice. Especially the main soundtrack that was repeated several times from beginning to end, in addition to the Japanese symphony style, there is also a feeling of Chinese fantasy RPG game music, as if I heard the music like "Xianjian" and "Ancient Sword", It matches the style and content of the film.
To sum it up in one sentence, "Monster Hunt" is a family-friendly movie, especially suitable for children to watch. If you think about it, this film should be strictly a live-action animation, like the type of "Space Jam" and "The Smurfs". When it comes to the Smurfs, the author wants to interject, the special effects level of "Monster Hunt" is not lower than that of "The Smurfs". The monsters in the movie are very similar to the dragons in "How to Train Your Dragon". They are ugly at first glance, but if you take a closer look, you will find that they are ugly but cute. They are called "ugly cute". Especially the protagonist Huba, who is so cute and cute, and a bit of a cheap little villain, can definitely attract the attention of children.
As for the plot that everyone cares about, the author can only use my own perception. Since it is a live-action animation, the plot will definitely be low-level. The film also inserts songs and dances common in Hollywood animation movies, and uses songs and dances to promote the plot, Render emotions. "Monster Hunt" tells a very simple story, very similar to the plot of Jackie Chan's "Baby Project" - the heroine and hero, who are full-time monster hunters, accidentally got a monster baby and need to raise it well I took it and sold it, and as a result, I developed feelings in the process of getting along, so after I sold it, I found that I had to save it. Not only that, but the hero's grandma is really the same as the grandma in Zhou Xingchi's "Nine Pins of Sesame Official".
If you are a little more careful, you will find that if you replace all the monsters in the movie with wild animals, this film will become a promotional film about [protecting wild animals and rejecting game], without any sense of disobedience. The monsters in the film were hunted by the demon hunter as beasts, but after they were caught, they were sold to health-preserving restaurants that used monsters as ingredients. These monsters were cut, fried, marinated, stewed, and the most cruel thing was to eat the monster brains raw. Huba is eaten in exactly the same way as raw monkey brains. Seeing this, the author is once again convinced that this film is actually entrusted by the above, and it is necessary to publicize the importance of protecting wild animals.
To be honest, "Monster Hunt" is really difficult. Seeing that the scenes of Fang Zuming and Ke Zhendong in "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain" and "Little Times 4" are all retained, and the film was remade by replacing the protagonist Ke Zhendong with additional investment, I really want to cry to death in the arms of a chrysanthemum factory.
