Don't worry, human beings are not so strong and kind

If the sun is really over

Besides eating and waiting to die

survive

It must be to write a public account, sell health products, and publish chicken soup books

Dig into repairing your own little ship

1. Although it has little to do with the novel, the story of "installing an engine on the earth to run away" was written 20 years ago. Da Liu was a giant, and the movie version stood on the shoulders of giants without shame.

2. Although the plot has almost nothing to do with the original, the new story is still established. The biggest difference is the spiritual core. Da Liu faces the darkness of human nature, and the world will not be better. The movie version, in turn, talks about hope and belief, and it's not bad. Although I am very depressed myself, it is nothing to be positive about the first day of the new year.

3. Several groups of characters have multiple clues to narrate, some are too straightforward and vulgar "sensational", including some "loose pen" is a bit redundant. But this is the most mainstream audience approach. The script is technically perfect, and the consultant Lao Wang and the screenwriters must be very attentive. Of course, the audience's acceptance can only be determined by the final effect. For example, for the question of "Why do you have to shoot Jupiter with guns when there are no enemies?", the audience's reaction and the screenwriter's thinking have a certain deviation.

4. Whether the characters are thin and whether the character design is reasonable is a matter of opinion. My point of view is that the characterization should complement the plot and even the overall tone of the film, focusing on harmony, and the effect seems to be pretty good so far.

5. In creating this matter, it is still necessary to respect the personal style of the director and the main creator. The protagonists of the two children have the shadows of "Li Xianji" and "You at the Same Table", and Comrade Wu Jing has contributed money and efforts to play the role of a father.

6. The sci-fi angle is neither soft nor hard, there is no threshold, ordinary people can understand it, and there are not too many complicated concepts. Frozen Chinese wasteland and earthy North China cyberpunk are good. Pseudo-scientific trivia is less important because of the tight plot.

7. Once "hard sci-fi" is blown, "the first year of sci-fi" is easy to make real sci-fi fans jump up and down, and the earth should not be compared with Kubrick, Tarkovsky and the like. It should be used to compare Hollywood apocalyptic disaster films such as "The Day After Tomorrow" and "2012".

8. It may be the Chinese film that is closest to the concept of "blockbuster", "internationalization" and "Oscar". Maybe it is still not confident when investing, and should invite more foreign actors.

9. Personally, I don’t agree with projecting dissatisfaction with the real world onto movies. “Socialist values” are actually the same as the mainstream values ​​of Hollywood heroism. American blockbusters are also about family, responsibility, sacrifice, and hope. Of course, people are more confident. Can tolerate self-defeating (I mean in the 90s, and now American rockers can't extricate themselves from the division between left and right.)

10. Finally, let's talk about a personal bad taste. Wu Jing wears a space suit and has no room to display. Anyway, they are called Space Wolf. If there is a mechanical security guard on the spacecraft, it will be great for him to tear it by hand for more than 3 minutes.

    No matter from any standard (science fiction, Chinese, Chinese science fiction), it cannot be called a qualified film. Seriously over-edited, this typical 2D action film editing method is simply nonsense when used in this 3D sci-fi film with a more complex spatial structure. The space and movement performance are extremely unclear, the axes are chaotic, can anyone see what happened when Wu Mengda died while transporting the flint? Too tight close-ups and too large vistas are often mistakenly inserted, completely failing to anchor the viewer's attention without the direction of movement being inconsistent and the absence of effective chiaroscuro. There are only a few consecutive long shots in the whole film, which makes the space feel clear, but the construction spanning hundreds of thousands of kilometers is really laborious. Whenever the camera is pulled away, the human language continues unchanged, as if watching a light-hearted youth film. In the final analysis, this audio-visual method is completely incapable of handling Liu Cixin's galaxy-scale super-omniscient narrative.

    If you want to watch sci-fi, you can leave. If you want to see the father and son settle their quarrels, hurry up and go.
