If you want to say that after "Transformers", who can achieve the story of special effects and robot wars alone, can empty the audience's wallet, and can make them smile and compliment, I think there is only this "Huantai" "Well.

There are no famous movie stars, no hot beauties, only manic robots and dimensional beasts. Those who have seen Japan's "EVA" will easily think of the similarity between the two. Regarding the plot settings of such movies that are often criticized, although they have been gradually ignored, I still want to mention the coherence of the plot of this movie.

From the passive protection of human beings against monster invasions to the construction of robots to fight, all these processes seem to show that the human world is actually very shallow and slow in understanding the enemy. But in the second half of the movie, in order to give the movie a happy ending, what I see is that the director is accelerating the pace of laying the groundwork for the final plan: it seems that for a moment the enemy's weakness is discovered, it seems that the enemy's way of connecting the earth for a moment Being understood, it seems that the characteristics of monsters have also been studied in an instant. From the stories I've read before, similar to robot aliens, the general rhythm is to encounter the enemy, to face the unknown power of the enemy, to the first victory, then to defeat, and then to study the opponent, and finally after thoroughly understanding all the secrets of the enemy, Implement the final battle plan. Judging from the performance at the end of the movie, human beings have successfully destroyed the enemy's main base and completely destroyed the enemy, but this is only based on an imperfect plan, and it is difficult to convince the audience enough. , which is like a deformed giant with long legs and short legs, which looks mighty and majestic but is strange.

However, it is undeniable that this is a film of about 2 hours, and there is not enough time to give the story a gradual expansion of the background. If an animated series like "EVA" is actually just a simple robot animation at the beginning, but gradually adds more content to make the story fuller and even deeper in the later stage, then what we see may appear in the comics. Wei or DC comic books serialized "Pacific Rim" for more than ten years.

However, if there is still a second episode of "Huan Tai", as the rumors say, then the director can really deal with the monsters in the final ending with a terrified look in their eyes in the face of the nuclear explosion robot, and that We haven't looked at the monster world for a while, and made some imaginative expansions.

In other words, I have already thought about the plot, and the first step is Gipsy's rampage! Of course you have to eat monsters!

    Raleigh Becket: [narrating] When I was a kid, whenever I'd feel small or lonely, I'd look up at the stars. Wondered if there was life up there. Turns out I was looking in the wrong direction. When alien life entered our world, it was from deep beneath the Pacific Ocean. A fissure between two tectonic plates. A portal between dimensions. The Breach. I was fifteen when the first Kaiju made land in San Francisco.

    [pause]

    Raleigh Becket: By the time tanks, jets and missiles took it down, six days and 35 miles later, three cities were destroyed. Tens of thousands of lives were lost. We mourned our dead, memorialized the attack, and moved on. And then, only six months later, the second attack hit Manila.

    Raleigh Becket: Then the third one hit Cabo. And then the fourth. And then we learned this was not gonna stop. This was just the beginning. We needed a new weapon. The world came together, pooling it's resources and throwing aside old rivalries for the sake of the greater good. To fight monsters, we created monsters of our own. The Jaeger program was born.
