When false comes true, true and false

When I first saw the cover of the DVD, I thought of many similar disaster films. The image in my mind is ready to come out.

The opening subtitle of the video disc made us wonder, "Is this a shooting technique?" I asked BD, "Maybe it is." Then the actors started to shoot freely, which made me feel a little dazed, the blockbuster is very Rarely does it do that. After watching it for a while, there is a feeling of deja vu, Blair the Witch's small production cost movie.

Watching this movie was, in a sense, the scariest thing I've ever been in a disaster movie. Its horror is different. Traditional thriller horror films tend to focus on how to make people miserable, make you horrific, and the heavy bloody visual effects win. People are afraid of death, as is the case with every horror movie, and it makes people sick to watch too much. However, this type of shooting method points to the fear of people, the panic of the person being photographed in the camera, one person, a group of people, and even the whole world becomes panic. There is an inexplicable sense of reality. The horror of it is here.

Looking back now, the most spectacular thing is that when the protagonists got on the helicopter, they saw the huge thing from the window shuttling between the high-rise buildings in the city. The fighter jet dropped countless bombs and exploded on its body. One of its huge incomparable hands may be the hand. When it is lifted, it destroys a huge building. That scene will definitely make you swear words!

It is a pity that this kind of film has to be sacrificed after all, and many details in the film are still deviated from reality. After watching it, both BD and I sat sullenly for a while to relax our nerves, and argued for a while. I know its shortcomings, and finally, "Forget it, I decided to forgive it.", "Well, me too, after all, it's still a good movie."
