The movie box office of the Spring Festival stalls was so high that the "Mermaid" topped half the sky. The second place was "Journey to the West: Monkey King Three Fights the Bones", and the rest of the movies divided the remaining market. I have to say that our domestic films are getting more and more competitive, surpassing Hollywood's minute-by-minute business.
In the beginning of this year, Hollywood movies are going to work hard.
The first one to bear the brunt is the "God War: Eyes of Power" released on March 11th. Just by hearing the name, you will know that this is a magical blockbuster with visual effects! The setting of the story locks in the familiar ancient Egyptian mythology, and tells an adventure journey in which mortals and the fallen gods work together to save the three realms of man, god, and the underworld.
Chinese audiences have long been cultivated into high-esthetic movie fans by Hollywood blockbusters. Even for imported blockbusters, they have a high standard of judgment-production, story, scenes, casts, etc., are considered to be one if they meet the requirements. An excellent Hollywood blockbuster.
As the first imported blockbuster at the beginning of 2016, "War of Gods: Eyes of Power" can shoulder the heavy responsibility of PK domestic movies?
[Special Effects]
Judging from the trailers released so far, "War of Gods" pays attention to the rendering of the big scene, the collapsed pyramids, roaring human-faced stone monsters, the most shocking and amazing is the set of the hunters in the film. Mounts-two giant pythons, one black and one white, with their dragon-like teeth and gushing flames rushing towards the mysterious ancient Egyptian palace, exaggerating the mysterious atmosphere of ancient Egypt to the extreme.
"War of Gods" and "Warcraft" are both Hollywood visual effects blockbusters in 2016. The films are processed with top-notch CG and performance capture technology, and the goal of visual effects is to use top-notch technology to satisfy people's views on the mythical world of the Middle Ages. Imagination. What is the realm of ancient Egypt like? Perhaps this is the highlight of the film.
[Story]
Hollywood myths and fantasy blockbusters are actually not uncommon. Based on a generally mature technical level, how to innovate in the story has become a key point in the battle between strategists. "War of Gods: Eyes of Power" breaks people's perception of traditional "gods" and makes Gods like humans, having troubles and desires. For example, the sun god fights against chaos every day, and the desert god is "powerful and lustful", saying that "Egypt is my back garden!" In addition, the film also breaks through the struggle between humans, gods and demons. The single-line narrative method increases the interaction between humans and gods, and explores the relationship between gods and humans. In addition to special effects, the interpretation of "divine nature" with "human nature" brings the audience a lot of thinking.

In terms of the cast, "War of Gods" should not be underestimated, featuring Hollywood first-line stars Gerald Butler ("300 Warriors") and Gula Coster Waldau ("Game of Thrones") Lead and play the two opposing gods. The key role mortal in the film is played by Hollywood newcomer Brenton Thwaites ("Maleficent").
All in all, as an eye-catching work in the North American market, the film has an epic plot, a superhero style of mythology, all-star casts and other elements that have stoked the appetites of movie fans. It will be released on February 26 in North America. , And mainland China is released on March 11, basically keeping pace, which is not easy for imported blockbuster movies.
