When I first watched the trailer, I watched the lively scene and thought to myself: It's over, it's been packaged as a monster fight movie again. Of course the director wasn't that stupid. Who is Aronofsky? Requiem Black Swan is not something you can just find in Hollywood. But it seems that the filming of mental illness really can't be Emmerich. The director takes out his own psychological analysis. If you use it well, it is an ancient version of the Dark Knight; if you use it badly, it will backfire. And Aronofsky clearly hasn't mastered the rhythm of a commercial, imagine a classical musician playing rock. Commercial movies really don't suit him.
The group of stone angels who appeared at the beginning proves that the director is still very ambitious. The first half of the film is indeed quite organized, but the setting is a little weird. No wonder religious people had a poor response at the test screening, but it wasn't a problem for the less religious audience. But in the middle of the film, the flood rose and the rain stopped. What should I do next? I couldn't shoot Noah's family for an hour to shoot birds looking for branches. So, in a wooden box, the director unfolded the foreshadowing of the characters in front, and spent an hour relying on dialogue... Personally, I think that the director's analysis of the characters' characters and psychological activities is still in place, although it is a bit evil. But it can't be analyzed for an hour, right? There are no pee spots in the film, but the second half is full of sleep spots, and I kept dozing off.
In terms of details, the special effects are very good, worthy of Industrial Light and Magic. Many of the shots used have the flavor of science and education films, adding a sense of history (the backlit silhouette of Noah’s storytelling, I believe I saw a man in a steel helmet and a rifle). There is a little problem with the plot (for example, Tuba should be hidden on the boat for nine months, can he not be found eating meat every day? How to deal with Xiang?) But after all, it is a myth, so why take it seriously.
If you rate it, it will be three and a half stars, and you will be sorry for your conscience if it is high or low.
PS, Emma, who lost baby fat, is very beautiful. Maybe she was chosen to be refreshing. The director is really considerate.
