Most of the reviews of this film are very poor. Maybe it is not as bad as it is said.
Most of the criticism of this film is about its plot, or that it has no plot at all. An alien attack that started suddenly without even laying the groundwork. In fact, it is not completely unprepared. The director puts the background and the pavement in the trailer and promotional posters. I think Hawking's remarks about humans should not look for aliens are a very important background. In addition, they also gave the background in the previous promotion. NASA sent a signal to search for aliens (I forgot the specific date). Unfortunately, the aliens replied. Therefore, it cannot be said that there is no background and no bedding. It’s just why it’s not included in the feature film?
But from another perspective, this movie is like a documentary after the disaster began. When the catastrophe began, most people had only one thought left in their minds: save their lives. If the empty plot is due to the lack of skill of the screenwriter, then instead of making a hypocritical plot, it is better not to give the plot, at least escape, and find a way to survive. Even if there is no plot, these are honest and true responses. Just like the black man went to the neighbor’s old man. The old man was caught by the alien. He had a gun in his hand without any idea of rushing to save him, but immediately ran away. He is not a hero, he is just an ordinary person. The most true and direct response that ordinary people will make.
The director may be really good at destroying the hope of the audience. When the last shot passed over the landmark buildings of each city, a white audience next to me sighed deeply and then covered his face with his jacket.
Imagine that you are driving a top-notch sports car, wanting to rush out and want to survive, but you are squashed just after you rushed out of the garage; you muster up the courage to rush to the roof, and the helicopter that can save you is almost there. By your side, maybe that is your last hope for survival, just within reach, the helicopter was hit and crashed; you finally gave up the idea of living when you turned on the gas and planned to die with the aliens on the opposite side The lighter does not light up; when you finally caught the lighter, the alien penetrated the body and finally failed to escape its claws; when you can’t protect the one you love anyway, the only thing that might be able to do for you At this point, you become one of them, one of those things you hate and fear; when you watch the heroic pilot pass through various obstacles and finally hit the main ship, he lost his life. , In addition to angering the aliens, it didn’t even cause them any harm; when you watched the "hero" fighter plane crash in front of you...that kind of complete despair...
no hero , There is no savior, no hope...
This film does not give the audience interesting dialogue, does not give the audience a thrilling plot, does not give the audience inspiring heroes, does not give the audience a wonderful fight, but gives a few individual films People who are real, realistic, and cold are often more willing to escape the sense of despair.
But the director didn't put all his hopes to death. At least, we didn't see the protagonist and his wife die before our eyes. We can hope that they live.
This may not be a great film, or even a good one, but at least it is honest.
