Still the same recipe, still familiar taste

The opening foreshadowing for the later fighting scenes seems abrupt and unnatural. The protagonist's accident is completely for the needs of the later plot, and the explanation is not covered up at all; the way of rendering the polarization of human beings and the intensification of contradictions is too naive, and it is impossible to put it together. This implicit line runs through the whole plot, and does not echo the theme;

there are many major loopholes in the development of the main line of the story. Since the bird company that built the robot has the authority to rewrite the Kernel, why did they not rewrite the system by themselves? Black as the boss?

The bond between the protagonist and the idiot swordsman is too shallow, and the will and determination hidden behind the most confrontation between the two are not very prominent

. I can't tell which one hits the other, I just see the screen shaking and the audience vomiting; the

ending of the film is not meaningful, and the audience who walks out of the cinema is like a sage's time after enjoying the climax.


Of course, American films are like that, or the same The formula, or the familiar taste, fights and kills, heroes save the beauty, and subvert the world. . . The technique is almost worse, the screenwriter has more loopholes, and the ending can't take the audience's thoughts out of the theater. It is destined to be an entertainment film in the general sense.
