The scene is huge and there are many zombies, more than most other zombie movies. However, this film is more profoundly different than any other zombie film I've seen.
First of all, ordinary zombie movies will start from the perspective of the protagonist, first find that someone around you is in a wrong state, and then use TV, radio and other media or use some big scenes to convey the information of the outbreak of the zombie crisis. On the one hand, this kind of routine can make the audience's emotions transition from weak to strong, and on the other hand, it also reveals the shabby financial situation. This is not the case with this film. The zombies attacked without warning soon after the opening, and then the grand scenes and sports scenes were overwhelmed. Within ten minutes, the whole world was inundated with zombies, and the audience's emotions were directly pushed to a climax. The film continues to fight high, the protagonist travels all over the world to face zombies, and even encounters an unprecedented zombie siege scene in Jerusalem.
All the way down, the audience's emotions and bladders have no chance to relax. This is really enjoyable, but also too saturated. The audience's bladder needs to be released, and emotions need to rise and fall.
Secondly, ordinary zombie films have a fixed segment, that is, the protagonist watches his relatives or people he once knew turn into zombies in front of him, or attack himself. The protagonist "killed" the zombie with his own hands after a painful battle between heaven and man. The purpose of this segment is to allow the audience to draw a line with the zombies under the lead of the protagonist. There is no such bridge in this film. Everyone thinks that the zombies are the enemy without hesitation, and they do not hesitate when they kill. For the family who had helped the protagonist, both his father and mother became zombies, and the little boy did not hesitate or bewildered when he faced his father who became a zombie.
Speaking of little boys, we have to talk about the biggest problem with the film: imbalance. This is not only the difference between this film and other zombie films, but also the difference from good films. In general Hollywood movies, especially disaster movies or action movies, there is a problem with the halo of the protagonist: the supporting characters die easily, but the protagonists always turn bad luck into good luck, and die in good luck. The protagonist's halo in this film is bigger and brighter than the general halo. On the contrary, the supporting characters have nothing to do and no soy sauce.
In the film, all tasks are on the shoulders of the protagonist, and all the zombies are rushing towards the protagonist. He hung up all the way, triumphantly, and turned all small-probability events into inevitable events. The over-saturated emotions and the fact that the protagonist's King Kong is not bad, by the second half of the movie, I was no longer able to worry about him. The supporting characters on the other side are floating on the sea in the rear, far away from danger. The protagonist's wife and daughter are only worthy of making phone calls, causing trouble for the protagonist. Even the few supporting characters who followed the protagonist did not play any substantial role, but were taken care of by him, and even the classic supporting characters were exempted from the role of blocking the protagonist's gun at critical moments.
The result is a heavy head, with the protagonist's light obscuring all the other characters. Such a movie, no matter how grand the battles are and how realistic the special effects are, is just to watch the excitement, and it is definitely not excellent.
