It is more like an essay made by a talented and talented candidate under limited time and conditions. The idea is bold and thought-provoking, but at the same time it is full of loopholes, and the source shows rough clues. A budget of 30 million to produce such special effects is considered quite satisfactory, and all kinds of flaws and loopholes appear more in the design of the story itself and species, and some audiences have fallen into deep suspicion and resistance because of this.
The alien spaceships proved their technology, but why are their behaviors full of the characteristics of low-level creatures; why Vikus had obvious symptoms of infection but did not go to the hospital for a checkup; why a mobile phone was on for a long time The guy can't be located by the MNU that can penetrate the sky; why are there powerful alien weapons everywhere, but the lobsters in the slum never thought of resisting; and those embarrassing aliens, and their eccentric eating habits ...any of these can be a reason to dislike the film.
Fortunately, I gave up resistance from the beginning, and the end result was rightfully captured. A non-professional and junior audience can't give a professional and lofty comment, so I can only be faithful to my own feelings and try to make a reasonable explanation for it.
When Vicus was appointed by his father-in-law as commander of the demolition brigade, he was excited, eager and somewhat weak. Unfortunately, this was an appointment with a biased element. In fact, Vikus's ability was not outstanding, and he had no prestige, but he was barely a good person. In contrast, all the professional soldiers in the play are without exception simple-minded and superstitious in violence, and the politicians are without exception ruthless and full of mouths. So the weak Weicus and the city management brigade with open flames began their doomed trip to the Australian Aquarium.
The background laid out before this is the rapid scanning of the whole process of the entire human society from excitement, fear, loss, fear, and discrimination to the aliens settled in. Finally, the slum where the aliens are located has become a place full of endless troubles and chaos. , neglected and forgotten like all other slums. On the other hand, MNU, which represents the mysterious institution occupying the top of the pyramid in human society, is engaged in cold-blooded and ugly underground activities as always. They are the vanguard of profit. They have long since lost their sense of awe, and their ambitions have expanded to the level of the universe. beyond the border.
At this time, Vikus, the understanding of aliens is no different from ordinary people, these stupid alien creatures, stupid, dirty, greedy and violent, their eggs deserve to burst in the flames of flamethrowers and people's wild laughter, their heads deserve to be Blossoms in the sights of pistol submachine guns and sniper rifles - whether the guns are soldiers or low-level gangsters. While the demolition work was in full swing, it was unfortunate that Vicus encountered those three shrimps with normal IQs at the wrong time and at the wrong place, and his fate was rewritten.
The mutated Vikus was brought to the secret laboratory for the first time, and he could not even enjoy the popular treatment in human society such as public fear and media controversy. Under the painful eyes of the three bosses, his plan was shattered. Fortunately, the lobster's genes gave him the strength, and he managed to escape by kidnapping a nurse. Why is such a divine institution like MNU unwilling to sacrifice a nurse for money and energy? It can only be said that the narrow-mindedness of humanism has placed human rights on the altar. Once any individual loses this identity, he/she will immediately become the best sacrifice on the altar.
According to my IQ and routine, the next episode is probably the hero who went through untold hardships to find his life and finally lived a happy and beautiful life with his daughter-in-law. As for those people in MNU - misunderstanding, brothers! Fortunately, the aliens were also rescued by chance. In the process, a mother also developed a revolutionary friendship with Comrade Vicus, and finally reluctantly lied on the hatch door and said goodbye to his family.
But what fucked me up was that it wasn't a tragedy or a comedy, and the director gave a tm open ending. The "fluid" that mutated Vikus was the source of their race's power. A human and a lobster broke into the fortified MNU secret room and recaptured the "fluid". But at this time, the director did something wrong. He not only wanted to show the narrowness of human beings, but also the ugliness of human nature. Vikus, who couldn't bear the three-year wait, was congested in his brain for a while, and he knocked down the big lobster very ignorantly, leaving a computer genius crayfish. . Stupid behavior led to serious consequences, and both Vikus and Lobster were arrested. At this time, there was cooperation between the xenogeneic Vicus and the lobster, but it was still full of emotional discrimination and disapproval. In the scam, his wife was arranged to stick to it and became his only hope.
The genius of the crayfish is gratifying. It repaired the console of the giant ship in less than a stick of incense. In fact, this is nothing special. The level of being able to repair the main control spacecraft with n PCs is enough to make NASA faceless. . The stupidity of the gang is also comforting. Their boss is a complete brain-dead. Even if he eats lobster every day because he is uneducated, he should not be so stupid: seeing Vikus being driven around like MNU dogs to run for his life, But in order to get his strength, he started with the law enforcement brigade. Vikus's human identity was forced by a group of cold-blooded and a group of idiots to finally have nowhere to go. He sacrificed the ultimate lobster equipment - the Mecha Warrior Lobster Edition. Since then, he has walked to the opposite side of the law enforcement brigade and the opposite side of the MNU. He escorted the lobster to the spaceship and returned to the giant ship. After the mech warrior's HP was exploded, he resolutely crawled towards the spaceship. ...
In the end, more than 2 million prawns were resettled, and only the lobster father and son were able to escape, and what about Wycus? Dead or alive? No one knows, in Hollywood style, we'll be able to catch a glimpse of it around the time of the sequel. Whether the director is trying to show his brilliance or leave room for a sequel, Vycus's ending doesn't matter because the story is over.
It seems that this is a story of a derailed individual being forced into opposites by the ruthless social will and the will of the group, and the confrontation between humans and aliens is the main thread. But if you look at the skin of the aliens, you can find that, in fact, it is human nature that is said over and over again. It can be said that it is the confrontation between the good part and the ugly part of human nature. It's just that the placement of this human nature has produced a dislocation, wisdom and emotion have gone to the lobster father and son, while cold blood and violence have come to the human beings represented by MNU. And the generation of these cold-blooded and violent is probably due to the high degree of socialization caused by the strife of human nature, and also mixed with the inherent weaknesses of human nature.
Some people say that this is an anti-discrimination film, especially racism, but I deeply disagree. In fact, this is a bloody demolition documentary, accusing the humble human nature and the anti-human society.
