The foundation of vertical films is the control of sci-fi dreams, so if you are serious about logic, you will lose. The plot design of the anti-aircraft guns attacking mosquitoes, the convoluted lines, the powerful CG, the soundtrack of the gods, and many great matches and small matches that make people fall in love at first sight. The last 40 minutes dragged on so much that the whole film required full concentration. btw man, you have to continue to lose weight, stuck in an alley, I almost choked with laughter
