I waited for you before the end

Whenever we mention science fiction films, we don’t think we imagine the universe, the galaxy, aliens, star wars, super powers (quantity)... However, in this "Doomsday Love", all of the above are not available. !

This is a sci-fi romantic comedy with big (comedy) star Steve Carell and pirate girl Keira Knight, but at a very low cost. According to official data, the cost is only 10 million US dollars. But what is surprising is that the box office of the film is not as good as expected. In my opinion, its only disadvantage is that it is too warm, with enough laughs and two or three tears.

The first half of the film is crazy, such as hiring a killer, finding a virgin, injecting heroin, and teaching children to drink. There are some small surprises and smiles in the follow-up process, but its commercial nature is indeed a bit fading under the warm intention. . When the end of the world comes, hug your loved ones tightly. The emotion conveyed by the film is correct, but it depletes its own commercial value. It could have been crazier or crazier for longer.

Another tool that was not fully used by the film was the abandoned puppy in the film. Obviously, Wang Xingren is not used to catalyze funny but to show warmth, which is a little overkill. After all, Wang Xingren should only have two existences in movies: funny, or tears. Therefore, it is far from enough to be accompanied by warmth. Perhaps, it is not necessarily because you don't want it to steal the two big names.

There are many commercial elements in the film, such as: science fiction (doomsday), comedy, pets, roads, absurdity, etc. Deeply digging at any point and localizing it may make the film a new look.
Funny, inadequate; warmth, not deep, but there are all the necessary formulas. How to make a brand new commercial film feast is not only the homework of every filmmaker, but also an opportunity.

    Once again, Keira Knightley is a powerful proof to audiences that two rows of jagged teeth can ruin an otherwise barely passable film. Although the plot is terrible, the acting skills are lackluster, and the healing series is also very uninspired, but as a doomsday movie, its biggest highlight is that it really ends the earth at the end. For that alone, give one star for encouragement.

    The perseverance and repressive explosion before the end of the day are good, but the large-scale preaching dialogue is true, which reduces the overall integrity of the film by more than one point.
