Let's talk about the advantages first. The visual effects are really awesome, as expected of using 2. The 100 million US dollar movie, the world of Miao Xing and Pearl Man is beautiful at the beginning, the design of the Alpha Space Station is gorgeous, and the part of Rihanna's drag dance is really a feeling of showing off her skills and wealth. The imagination is also very rich, and the various aliens and plot arrangements are very novel. I have to mention the chase scene in the big market, which is very interesting. The AR+ multi-dimensional space display is really amazing, isn't it, and the scenes of Valerian switching between the two dimensional worlds are also refreshing. It is said that Industrial Light and Magic was only responsible for the special effects of this scene. It took two years to make 585 special effects shots, as if every frame was saying "what I have is money". I saw some people say that there is a problem with the plot. In fact, I think there is no problem with the plot. It can be explained clearly in one sentence. It is as simple as the beginning to guess the villain and the direction of development. Besides, this kind of sci-fi adventure film does not need too complicated storyline. I think the sense of rhythm is also well controlled. The second half of the film basically maintains a frequency of ups and downs in a few minutes, so it is not too logical. But I have to complain that when the male protagonist did not let the female protagonist return the transforming beast, the speech about love given by the female protagonist was really embarrassing. Embarrassed x 3. Too many special effects shots will also bring a disadvantage. In my opinion, it has a great impact on this film, that is, the actors' acting is not natural enough, but it may also be a casting problem. I really don't like Carla Delevingne. In this film, she gave me the feeling that she was forced to be cool, sad, and nervous throughout the whole process. It's not as natural as Rihanna's few minutes of scenes. Dai Hanhan is a little better than her, but apart from the combination of baby face and subwoofer, which is easy for me to play, there are too many scenes of him flirting with Kara high school students, which I think is completely unnecessary. Although the villain played by Clive Owen is weak, it is a problem with the character itself, and it can be seen that he already wants to enrich this role. jolly the Pimp has a bit of Captain Jack's flavor, and his appearance is quite surprising, and he doesn't even recognize him. Wu Yifan, I think the acting is pretty good, not to mention more brilliant, but at least it doesn't violate harmony. It's a good thing to see more and more Chinese actors in foreign movies. I think the biggest problem with this film is that, as a movie named after the male protagonist, the most important thing it needs to do well is to shape the image of the male protagonist and see the character and growth of the protagonist in the process of completing the task. The process allows the audience to remember the character. In my opinion, Valerian can be portrayed as the image of space 007, rather than being overwhelmed and having no sense of existence as it is now. As a sci-fi adventure film, visual effects are important, but they should also be more detailed. I heard that there will be a sequel, I hope this can be improved (and I hope the box office results will be better). PS: The special effects are good, but the image of the aliens inside is really familiar. During the viewing process, I thought of jabba the hutt in "Star Wars" and Tass in "Alien Battlefield" respectively. , and the Na'vi in Avatar and so on, and the scene where the movie starts with a Bob Dylan song makes me think about the beginning of Watchmen, and I even saw Han Soo from the male lead Luo's shadow.
