Maybe my expectations are too high, and I have seen some comments before that compare with Avatar... This thing really can't compare...
The editing still feels messy, fast but not smooth. And there are a few things that I really can't understand logically. This has nothing to do with science fiction. At most, it is the ability of the film to tell a story, and the logical rigor of the story itself.
1. Everyone wears the same clothes. Why does Grandpa's oxygen consume so fast? Especially the last 7% to 1%, it is completely used up when the elevator entrance climbs to the window, which is really unfair.
2. The truck was from the Beijing area and was damaged in Lujiazui, but the destination at that time was Hangzhou. Obviously, it was easier to go to Nanjing and Suzhou. Why should we detour to Shanghai? Is it forcibly adding drama to Shanghai Center... Since it is frozen by the sea, the sea cannot only freeze Shanghai, right? Either it shatters and becomes a rugged iceberg, or the water should stretch far away and then freeze into ice, so why are you stuck in an ice canyon, what are you doing with your navigation?
3. Also, it is 150 kilometers from Shanghai to Hangzhou, and there are only a few people in the picture deadlifting. Do you need to manually pull it to Hangzhou? You have so much oxygen, why didn't you give it to grandpa earlier?
4. The trucks in the movie either come and go, or none of them pass by. Anyway, Hangzhou has an engine, the groundwater is hot, and there are always people on the ground, right? No one came from Hangzhou to meet you?
5. Transporting flint is the most incomprehensible to me, but the whole story is based on the task of transporting flint... Shouldn't this thing be standing next to the engine? Okay now~ Hangzhou needs fire, and the day lily is cold.
6. If the Tinder plan is a plan prepared by the coalition government for a long time, it will be enforced through Moss. Then Lieutenant Colonel Liu Peiqiang drove the space station and bet the fate of all mankind to save the earth. It seems that the decision of the coalition government is too weightless, so let Liu Peiqiang go so casually?
7. The special effects can only be said to be at the mainstream level, and many of the plots in the movie are very chaotic. Why do they suddenly take a sharp turn for no reason, and then suddenly they are safe again, but the connection in the middle is gone, too jumpy. The framework of the novel is very grand, and the picture of the movie is to tell the story, to stimulate you, to be good, to be bad, to stimulate you again, and to suddenly be good again. What about human thinking, what about rhythm priorities? Obviously the story is taken out of the novel and processed by yourself, so why are you stuffing it so full and telling it in such a hurry?
There are also some plots, although they are not logical problems, but I feel that I should reconsider...
1. The Tinder plan is very tragic, but the coalition government or Moss in the movie did not express the emotions in place, so they finished reading and pulled it, and the ground began to be smashed and looted. Then skip to the next episode. . .
2. Some people really don't need to die. They have to encounter a fault and fall into the elevator shaft. They can also be stoned to death in the machine room. Use the last bit of strength to plug in the line. On the podium, to express the professionalism of the teacher? This story is tragic enough, and it's enough to tell the story well.
3. Jupiter attracts, half of the world's engines stall without warning. This logic works, but it's really not round enough.
4. The coalition government has not appeared from beginning to end, and I do not know where it is, how many people are behind it, and how to make decisions. Anyway, it feels like they already know the result. For the sake of mankind, they can only be a silent bad guy. This is no problem, but on the scale of Da Liu's "Wandering Earth" novel, I feel that this government's ability is really poor. ...
Talk about the advantages
1. This teamwork way of saving the earth is indeed different from Hollywood movies, and I personally like it very much. Moreover, the protagonist's eloquence skills in Hollywood did not appear in this movie. It is also in line with the style of Da Liu's novels, the characters only serve the story; set a condition, and then proceed infinitely on this basis.
In the end, I still hope that there will be a director's cut version, and put back the plot that was cut 120 minutes away, maybe a lot of things can make sense.
In the end, it can only be said that this movie is not worthy of the box office, nor is it worthy of the story frame of Da Liu.
