1. Concept: Human-controlled giant mechs fight against giant monsters drilled out of wormholes in the Pacific Ocean. This concept is not new, but I was looking forward to this movie when I first heard about it, because the current CG technology has become so good This concept can be sublimated to the point... The first scene after the start of the film, the pre-war preparation scene in Alaska, has already made me feel that my expectations have not been lived up to!
2. Sense of scale: imagine that the robot in Hugh Jackman's [Iron Armored Steel Fist], in the old city of New York, bumped into a monster as big as himself, and then started fighting, smashing the trash can and smashing it. At the fruit stand, and finally the robot crushed the monster into the sewer... Silly or not, ordinary or ordinary... The sense of scale has such magic power! The shock brought by super-scale mechas and monsters is huge. The most important thing is that with the current screen technical support, this shock can be realized. Imagine and compare Ultraman to fight monsters. Ok...
3. Vision: After reading the popular comment about CG technology, I think it makes sense. When I watched it, I also noticed that the lighting of this film is very interesting. The stage style has a deep resonance... This is the visual power of this film. I think many companies have the technical ability to simulate the real scene. The difficulty is to give the technology a "concept", which requires artists In addition to the extraordinary night scenes, another great visual effect of this film is that it pays great attention to details, not only the physical details of mechas and monsters, but also many scene details, such as the male protagonist Returning to the Hong Kong base for the first time, I was walking in the hall looking around and accidentally blocked the way of a delivery truck. The truck driver shook his head impatiently. For example, black market shops and temples built by followers of Monster Scourge all use monsters. The wreckage is used as architectural decoration, even if it is just a scene of a shot, it is full of sincerity, as if a group of enthusiastic and meticulous staff can be seen hiding behind the scenes, excitedly waiting for the audience to discover their proud work results...
4. Plot: I saw some people say that the plot is simple, maybe it's true, but some people say that the plot is bad, and I don't agree with it... First of all, although the plot of this film is simple, there is nothing out of line, and it is generally a complete circle; Secondly, in addition to the main plot of the film, the auxiliary plots also promote the plot. From the dialogue and even the expressions of each character, the stories outside the play can be read (Australian men's stinky farts and Rakshasa women's coldness), It can be said that the credit of the script; in the end, I personally think that for a visual action movie, the plot should be clean and clear, and to be honest, I think [Inception] or [Batman 2, 3] these movies (with Nolan For example) the plot is actually quite concise and clear... The narrative of this film mostly relies on pictures instead of lines, and the story is told very efficiently...
5. Others: I have forgotten what the hero looks like now. ... Among the human faces, Rinko Kikuchi is the most eye-catching (I don't know if the female audience will feel the opposite)... It seems that some people say that there are too many night scenes to choose a theater to watch, or you can't see the fights clearly scene, then I think this one I watch is okay, but unfortunately I watch ordinary 3D, it would be better if IMAX... After the film ended, the first thought that popped into my head was: a place like a movie theater, there must be It will exist in the world for a long time. If you watch this movie on the ipad, you should feel completely different...
6. Guillermo de Toro has used [Pan's Labyrinth], [Hellboy] before (and maybe [The Hobbit]) and other films show his extraordinary imagination of the world of magic and monsters, and this one proves that he is a well-rounded, world-leading visionary! After George Lucas, James Cameron and Peter Jackson, he can make his name in film history as one of the few masters who can build a real fantasy on the screen - and he can Going farther, and also need a more complete system of science fiction or magic film to establish their status in the arena, looking forward to his new work!
