      nothing is invincible



          The first movie I started to write was "Return to Earth". Although the Tomato score was relatively low, I was still attracted by a few bright spots in the movie.

           Kindness is a big selling point of this movie. The family love in the movie is not only the love between father and son, but also the love between siblings. Maternal love may be beneficial to humans and animals. Let's talk about the father-son relationship first: on the surface Kit is estranged from his...

      The Journey to Overcome Fear

      From "Knock on the Door with Happiness" to today, little Smith has grown up and is really not as cute as he used to be. However, the performance in this "Return to Earth" is still remarkable. For a minor child, it is a good growth record.

      Advantages:
      1. Many sci-fi settings are very novel. For example, instead of an oxygen mask, use breathing fluids to overcome oxygen problems. For example, monsters lock enemies according to human fear pheromones and so on.
      2. The children's...

      a little disappointed

      The day after watching it, I found out that the protagonists are a father and son (I am ignorant enough), the famous movie star father supports the movie career of the seed movie star son, and co-starred in this blockbuster tailor-made for his son. This is the case outside the film, and the same is true inside the film. The general's father guides his son to overcome fear, defeat monsters, and save both father and son. The son is the absolute leading star. I really admire this father who spared...

      Worst sci-fi movie I've seen this year

      According to the various complaints and questions posted by a netizen about the film, I will explain and also complain by the way
      . 1. When the plane was about to crash, Will Smith was thrown to the position that should be the nose of the plane, and Jaden sat in the middle of the cabin , the plane is divided into two parts, he and his father are in one section, the two pilots are dead, the crew members should either be blown out by the wind, or they are all in the tail, because some other...

      It could have been made into an apocalyptic or post-judgment day reflection movie. Not a pure wild survival story like it is...

      The super weak plot and the really unpleasant little Smith, such a combination can't be saved even by Will Smith himself (not to mention that this film really doesn't give Smith much room to play)... From To a certain extent, the film is quite similar to Liang Tang's "Lost War", the same wild and desolate earth, the same minimalist holographic future technology, and... the same rotten......

    Shooting process

    In order to express the sense of desolation of the earth long after the "migration" of human beings, many shots were taken in the tropical jungles of Costa Rica. You can often see venomous snakes on the set, and one of them is called the Brazilian Spearhead Viper, which is the second largest snake in the world. The crew has a "Viper Guide", and there are six snake shepherds who can walk around the set and hunt snakes anytime, anywhere.

    Post-production

    What Will initially thought of was just a story about the adventures of a father and son in modern times. The screenwriter Gary Weta finally moved the background of the story to 1,000 years after human beings left the earth, thus bringing science fiction elements into the film. In order to represent the Earth in the "post-human era" more realistically, Jonathan Rothbart, the visual effects director who was responsible for the design of...

    Positive evaluation

    In the film "Return to Earth", science fiction is presented as the background rather than the purpose of the story. From spacecraft shuttles and waterfalls, to extreme cold weather and mutated species, visual spectacles promote the progress of the plot and become evidence of the growth of young heroes. Compared with traditional science fiction films, "Return to Earth" reduces dazzling skills and stacking, and increases the credibility...
