1. Story: From the maze to escape the zombie film,
this film was filmed for the second part, which deviates from the maze exploration of the first part. In fact, this part can continue to put them in a new labyrinth mechanism and let them continue to explore. Unfortunately, the general direction has been deviated. Therefore, all the highlights of the first part cannot be carried over to this episode.
This story becomes: Escape the Zombies and Escape! (It's really a zombie, and I was drunk even if I could pass the trial.)
When the fresh meat team escaped from the maze, the environment they faced was a world that had been ravaged by viruses. Swept the world, and many people became zombies.
On the one hand, Xiao Xianrou had to escape the arrest of the organization (WCKD), and on the other hand, he had to prevent being bitten by zombies at any time, so they stumbled and ran, ran, and ran all the way.
It has nothing to do with the maze, I'm disappointed.
The last 20 minutes were illogical, very vulgar, and I was disappointed.
2. Style and narrative:
1. The film continues dark and black, with a darker tone, which is more suitable for the visual taste of young people.
2. Every transition in the film will use a large number of big visions to show the insignificance of Thomas and his party in this environment, emphasizing the invincibility of the whole nature, and implying that the people in the film are facing more severe challenges, which are very difficult. situation.
3. The visual effects are still good: the CGI of the big desert, thunderstorms, zombies, and collapsed skyscrapers are all done quite well. The high-quality visual presentation is one of the highlights of this series. The plot is not enough, and we can only rely on visuals to make up.
3. Actors:
Several teenage actors are quite eye-catching. My personal favorites are the curly vice-captain and the heroine.
Acting? No acting skills.
Fourth, tidbits:
1. In central New Mexico, the production team found a venue that fits the post-apocalyptic and dystopian tone of the movie, including winding sand dunes under the broad sky, dry surfaces, dilapidated shopping centers, hidden urban tunnels and sewers, Abandoned salvage piers etc.
2. The first base scene in the desert was shot in an abandoned shopping mall. The production team knocked down the ceiling, smashed windows, and created a giant sand cave into which the gladiator slipped from the dunes. They broke the walls of the mall and replaced it with safety glass embedded with plastic filaments, creating safety shattered glass in the windows.
3. Jorge's Lair was filmed at a railway depot in downtown Albuquerque.
4. The film is based on the second part of the dystopian science fiction trilogy of the same name written by James Dashner.
Summary: From the first to the second, the transition from "The Hunger Games" to "Resident Evil" has been realized. Let's watch the "Desperate Elevation" in the same period.
