"The Blockade", promoted under the name of Luc Besson, feels like it will be a good-looking commercial entertainment movie. From the opening scene, it is true: the protagonist Snow (Guy Pearce) is tortured by the government. , Fist after fist hit his face firmly, but he frequently slapped his lips, unwilling to answer the questions properly. Just like the tonality at the beginning, "The Blockade" is a film that combines action scenes and witty and funny dialogue. Snow's image is also different from traditional action heroes. He not only has a taste of riffraff, but also likes it. complain. However, with the appearance of the crude and cheap speed chasing animation of video games, the plot of the movie has also begun to be in an inexplicable situation.
The main scene of the movie is centered on a space prison "MS1", where it is claimed to have the most complete system to freeze up to 500 felons in a "functional suspension" manner to prevent escape and sexual assault. , Fights, disturbances, etc. occur. One day, the president’s daughter Emily (Maggie Grace) and a group of people went to the prison for inspection. Before entering, everyone passed the strict inspections at the checkpoints and delivered their weapons for safekeeping. However, they followed Huake (Jacky Ido). ) But secretly hid the gun in the trouser tube, which was like a butterfly effect, which triggered the subsequent riots and even put Emily in danger. This is the first illogical point. Is Huck carrying a gun just in case, or is it not intentional? If it is to protect the first daughter, his behavior when Emily interrogates the prisoner is too frivolous, so that the defensiveness is reduced, allowing the prisoner to take the opportunity to steal the gun. Furthermore, isn't this prison known as perfect? Besides, the director also let us see layers of guard and strict inspection procedures. How could we not find anyone carrying a gun in? Or, because of the other party's first daughter status, thus showing full trust and goodwill, deliberately releasing water?
To put it bluntly, many of the arrangements in the movie are only set for subsequent development or results, and they are full of loopholes and lack rationality. Just imagine: If Huck didn't carry a gun, wouldn't there be no subsequent riots and rescue of Emily? In addition, Metz (Tim Plester)'s dementia is obviously also arranged in response to this mode of thinking. The part of Metz is related to the reason Snow was tortured at the beginning of the movie and the whereabouts of a mysterious suitcase. It was also because he was locked up in the space prison, Snow promised to risk his life to take over the mission of saving Emily. . However, when Snow found Metz, he had already suffered from the sequelae of dementia due to "functional suspension" and was unable to clearly explain the whereabouts of the suitcase. This not only increased the sense of suspense, but also increased the audience's curiosity about the suitcase. But, why among the five hundred prisoners, it happened to be the sequelae of Mace's freezing? Hasn't he just been imprisoned for a long time?
It's really not that I'm picking bones in the egg, but the flaws of "The Blockade of the Sky" are really too obvious. In addition to the numerous logical problems, the anticlimactic plot arrangement is another problem. The mysterious suitcase is an example. Judging from the presentation of the opening scene of the movie, the audience will inevitably be concerned about the contents of the suitcase and why Snow was tortured, but the result of finding the suitcase is sloppy, and one can't help but send out and Scott Lango ( Peter Stormare (played by Peter Stormare) The same question: "All for an empty suitcase?" In fact, looking back, the beginning and the end of the movie seem to have nothing to do with the whole scene of saving the daughter from the dead. In other words, Even pinching the beginning and ending doesn't affect the content of the movie at all.
In the end, anyway, the plot has reached this stage, so you don’t need to be overly surprised to see Snow and Emily escape in spacesuits, pass through the atmosphere and land safely and accurately on the roads of the United States. Just smile. ! Once you are serious, you lose.
