If you insist on connecting to the world, there are a few examples: the space station was jointly built by China and the United States. As a result, China almost did not appear in the whole film, except for the news of the Hong Kong natural gas pipeline explosion and the appearance of Wu Yanzu Cheng Long who was hit and killed by a car in less than three minutes; In order to highlight international cooperation, the newly appointed chief scientist is from Germany, the scientist who was sucked out of the space station is from India, the inner ghost is from England, and the scientist with a little more lines on the space station is from Mexico; The central issue of the exclusive management of the surveillance system was launched. Even the satellite surveillance system failed. Since it is a Sino-US cooperation and global deployment, the seminar was held inside the White House. The US Secretary of State decided to send a Jake without consulting with the other 17 heads of state. Go alone? Jake said that his team is 600 people. Scientists from other countries evaporate at critical moments...Compared with "Independence Day" or "The Day After Tomorrow" or "2012", this film is stuck to the old stalks of global operations centered on the United States. Obviously, it is extremely non-international, and it is inevitable to be unwelcome.
The origin of the story of this film is that frequent failures of satellite monitoring systems may trigger geological storms that destroy the earth. Although the term "geological storm" has been mentioned repeatedly, it took only 5 minutes in the last half an hour to show the sky fire, tsunami, ice disaster, and hurricane in a simple and crude manner. As a natural disaster blockbuster analogy to "Independence Day" or "The Day After Tomorrow" or "2012", this film is particularly inadequate in describing the special effects of geological storms. The scenes of several disasters are not substitutable and cannot be like the above three movies. The movie makes people feel compassionate.
The story of the film is actually quite simple: the satellite surveillance system built by Jake was installed with a virus, and Jake borrowed the administrator password from the President of the United States and then restarted the system, saving the earth. Not to mention that there is almost no turning point in the two-hour film. The development of this running account-style plot is full of almost magical colors.
To give a few examples: 1) As the head of the White House agent team, Sarah resolutely agreed to assist in stealing the Kill Code held by the president she protected under the 30-second persuasion of Secretary of State’s boyfriend Max. The training of the White House agent has dropped to such a level of disrespect. Level? In the face of love, the sacred declaration of inauguration and the mission of defending the country are all clouds? At the election site, I heard Max say that the president is in danger. Sarah, the chief agent, immediately dismantled the agent team and held the president alone without verification?
2) Sarah was driving the president while holding the president, the magical expression on her face when Max explained to the president in the back seat always made people think that she was going to blacken in the next second, and she was the last undercover... As expected, this story May be more interesting-
When Max thought that he had successfully rescued the earth, Sarah suddenly exposed her identity and reversed the situation. Afterwards, the young couple became workaholics with each other as described in the previous situation, and fell into a battle between good and evil. In the end, the feat of elder brother Jake to save the other person and restart the system contrasted with each other. The brothers returned to the same front and relieved their previous suspicions, which confirmed the warmth in the world and sublimated the theme!
3) As a disaster science fiction film, this film is also quite lazy in the use of scientific details, inferior to "The Day After Day", and appears very naive in front of "Interstellar". Without the support of any scientific principles, this film is almost a political plot that took place on the space station, but it lacks the label of a bit of a serious fight and is extremely sorry for the political plot. The character setting is quite similar to "Interstellar". They are both a single scientist father + children who are passionate about science + scientific dreams that are abandoned and then used + the ending of space explosion and resurrection, but the film is warm to the family The inking of Jake is so scarce that Jake's father-daughter branch can't stand up at all. Although the director deliberately portrayed the transformation of Jake and Max from disharmony to concentricity on the side of the brothers, the cause and effect with the help of three or two lines and explanations made it difficult for the audience to resonate, and it was far from the standard of a warm film. The film can be described as four different in the type of film.
4) The existence of Ute, the chief scientist of the space station, should have shown her role as the role of Anne Hathaway in "Interstellar Crossing", that is, to contribute scientific power. But she was useless except to help Jake open the correct door. How to find out the ghost in the space station, a plot that should be of great significance to the development of the story, is also a brief introduction. Jake suddenly suspected Duncan, and then punched him on the ground. Duncan was sucked into space by air pressure. It was a child's play! How to defeat Dekkom's small orgasm behind the scenes was also dealt with by Max with a single punch. It's really not a family or a family. After the self-destruction, how Jake and Ute flee the space station with difficulty is nothing to describe. All the above can't help but make people think that the director has any misunderstandings about the disaster film and should not write about it.
Of course, Jim Sturgess's appearance is still in his prime. The powerful role of Sarah also allows the film to get rid of the previous routines of the male protagonist fighting fire and the female protagonist doing death. For the distribution of male and female roles, this film is only a tasteless person. There is really no one who is holding back, and it is worthy of praise. Regarding Jim Sturgess's overly prominent British accent, the director also specially set the two brothers Jake and Max to be born in the UK. This detail is also great.
