Play the dumbest jokes in the most serious way

Strictly speaking, it's crap. But this film is really too happy, the IQ of the bald ruler is as nonsense as the brain hole of the director and screenwriter. A few bald heads are flying around in the air, and the building bends and rises from the ground. The aliens have such strong abilities, and the low IQ is almost the same as that of the screenwriter. Understand human nature, haha, no wonder it will go extinct. The last brain wave battle with the special effect of 50 cents made this stupidly high level of spiral ascension fly into outer space again. After watching the movie for the first time, I felt like I couldn't laugh. It was so stupid that I couldn't describe it in words. Give this inexplicable feeling a high score. The funniest part of the film is that the whole film tells a most serious joke in the most serious way. It's as if a child told you a childish thing very seriously, but after you listened to it, you didn't even feel a wave in your heart and even wanted to laugh. Especially the special effects of the brain wave war, you can PK with the armored warriors. Moreover, I can see that a lot of money was spent on special effects drawing with such a brain hole. This Nima is the funniest place. It is estimated that the director felt quite arrogant after filming, haha. Sorry, I laughed unkindly again. The connotation is still there, but after reading it, it will be ignored by the shocking plot. The whole movie, like our lives, is always in the hands of God, and sometimes it doesn't help if we try to break these designed rules. Designers will always go to the dark box, fate will always play with you, you may never be able to go to the shell beach of your dreams, this is the reality that each of us cannot escape. The last naive boss fight is naive because we can never escape this illusory confusion and the shackles of programs. The dreamy shell beach created by the male protagonist is an imaginary that we have all had. But most people in the city have been numb to life, and at the mercy of fate have forgotten who I used to be, why there is no sun in this city, why they cheated, and why they killed people. No one simply remembers where Shell Beach is, even if it has nothing to do with life at hand. There will always be someone looking for it, and even if it's another lie, someone will believe it and make it out. Just like a child saying that he wants to be a scientist, an adult laughs at the child's naivety and doesn't care about this desire, which is more valuable than an adult wanting to be an official and make a fortune. Because we have been confused by the life in front of us for many years, we will no longer doubt the authenticity of the world like children, nor will we be willing to challenge the constraints of authority and various frameworks, and can only be at the mercy. At the end of the film, the male protagonist did not choose the truth, but Two lies were chosen: Love and Shell Beach. ...the last shot, the same as Requiem for a Dream? I'm sorry, I can't take it seriously, do you want to laugh?

    Except for the dumbfounding Erlang God showdown at the end, it's not bad. Blade Runner, The Matrix, Scanners.
