First-class special effects, second-class plot - "Transformers"

The last time I saw a Hollywood blockbuster in the cinema was "The Lord of the Rings 3". It was another visual feast, and it had a medieval epic as the background. It looked solemn and meaningful. It was one of the few movies I've seen in the cinema. I think it's a movie worth the ticket price, so I'm particularly impressed with it. The Chinese audience's appetite is spoiled by the blockbuster. In a movie youth, it is the same, watching being raped by Hollywood, sitting in front of the computer and feeling like a literary movie youth. , While sitting in the movie theater with popcorn in one hand, if a little girl was sitting next to him, he would feel like a stupefied youth with strong hormone secretion.

The two-hour movie made people dizzy, wondering whether it was the bad plot that derailed the wonderful special effects, or the wonderful special effects that saved the stupid plot. This is a movie viewing process that is exactly the same as other wonderful Hollywood blockbusters I have watched. Even the emotional ups and downs are roughly the same. The eye-catching opening must be a series of grand bombings, showing off Transformers dizziness. The transformation process of the purpose made the movie theaters amazed again and again. It seems that the general public is still obsessed with high-tech. In the middle of the plot, there are only some procrastinating silly boys and sexy chicks who are smashed into their heads by a tough guy. The love grows day by day in adversity, and some low-level jokes that you would never want to laugh if you didn't watch it in the cinema. Just when we watched it a little dull, yawned again and again, Erlang's legs crossed N times left and right, and his butt sank more and more, the film was like being chopped by a knife, and the scene was transferred to the scene of the dam, so it was the most interesting. At the end of the excitement, the robot war is about to start. There is no way. The three-stage movie is to make people look forward to it. It is not like watching a literary movie. So in the last half hour, the sky was full of fire, and the sky and the ground were full of excitement. A group of big robot guys hugged each other and played kisses. They were still full of passion. A highway has everything. No matter how you look at it, I think it's a future version of "Pearl Harbor". Regardless of this, let's go ahead with the blood boiling, shortness of breath, and rapid heartbeat. When the movie is over, my heart is still warm, and I forgot There was a piece of chicken ribs in the middle that I gnawed, and I just thought the fare was really worth it.

In fact, criticizing a Hollywood blockbuster for not having a compact and full plot is like criticizing a prostitute for not keeping women's morals. Let’s talk about the first-class special effects. The transformation scenes in the film are indeed dazzling, and the faint sound of the machine can also evoke our childhood memories. If you are picky in the scene, I personally feel that these robots are still a little inflexible when fighting, and they are very cumbersome, and as soon as there is physical contact, there is a fire beside them, and they roll on the ground, and it is completely unclear. Who is pressing on whom, it feels like two sumo wrestlers are fighting, close-up shots are used too often, and there is a lack of panoramic explanations, if Hollywood can take pictures of Jet Li's smart body and movements in robot fight scenes. Basically, we don't make movies anymore.

Going to the cinema to watch a movie is actually a lively picture. Some people say that the movie is not popcorn, but that is wishful thinking. The blockbuster is popcorn, which is swollen and fragrant and crispy. . I originally planned to be nostalgic in "Transformers", maybe I was still young at the time, and I didn't quite understand what story the Transformers told when I watched it. The scene is very interesting. Now it seems that the transformation machine that this post-industrial era only imagined is still very interesting and dazzling.
