The rhythm of this film can indeed be called dizzying, even to the point where each picture contains a lot of information, enough to fill the audience's brain memory within two hours, which is originally a Hollywood commercial film. I'm good at housekeeping, but I also have to say that the film's rhythm is a little bit inaccurate, the rhythm of the whole film is a little too fast, and even in some places it obviously feels out of control. And this creates two problems with the film.
First, the pace is fast, which creates obstacles for the audience to understand the plot. It is often that the audience has not had time to digest the previous plot, and the subsequent plot has already rushed. The entire viewing process is like a race, making the audience exhausted to follow the rhythm of the movie, which is not good for understanding the plot. When I was watching this film in the cinema, people would be whispering from time to time around me, or asking people around me what was going on in the plot, or saying they didn't understand it. If it weren't for those wonderful 3D special effects to stimulate the audience's nerves, I think some people might actually fall asleep during the viewing process.
The second is that the rhythm is fast, and the characters appear thin. Before I saw the movie, I saw a comment that Benedict Cumberbatch, the villain in the film, put on a good performance, as good as Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight. Comparable to the clown played in . This also increased my expectations for the film. It's just that after watching the whole film, I have to admit that Benedict's performance in the film is indeed excellent. Among the films I have seen this year, he can also be regarded as one of the best villains. Compared with Ledger's Joker, there is still a big gap. One of the important factors is the fast pace of the movie, which flattened the characters that could have been very deep. Many plots are still waiting to be explained. Is there room for character building?
This problem also appears in the portrayal of the frontal characters. To be honest, I feel that the best portrayal of Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock is the period at the beginning of the film, when the rhythm is relatively stable, and the characters have their own characteristics. also displayed. In the middle and later part of the film, Captain Kirk turned into a hot thug who was always yelling. When I was in the captain's position, I still felt a little awkward. It would be better for "Chou Dong" - Mr. Su Lu - to sit on it with style!
In fact, there should be no contradiction between plot advancement and character creation, but to master the degree, the characters should not be dragged by the plot and become a prop to complete the plot; and the plot should not be too fragmented by the characters and become Lots of time-consuming patches. Wong Kar-wai's films often have the latter problem, and this film's problem is the former.
When I saw Simon Pegg in the movie, I felt very friendly, and it seemed that he was really keen to play supporting roles in various Hollywood blockbusters. There was "Spy: Impossible 4" before and now "Star Trek", but the role On the contrary, he has always been a technical person with some funny ingredients. Is he a natural technical nerd?
