Mecha is a man's romance! ! ——Lu Xun When "Pacific Rim" was released, I was sitting in the second row watching IMAX. The feeling of a huge mecha stepping on my face made me unable to calm down for a long time. The one who knows the otaku best is the otaku. The veteran otaku gyro moves the steel behemoths to the big screen, playing monsters and cannot take care of themselves. At that time, the otaku all over the world were crazy. Five years later, they gathered again, which was originally thought to be a carnival for mecha fans and otakus. However, "Pacific Rim 2: Resurrection of Thunder" gave everyone a chill with a basin of cold water. I have always felt that "Pacific Rim" has always been a benchmark for robot movies, because, also using robots as a selling point, he created a form of expression that is different from "Transformers", which is extremely anthropomorphic. The Transformers inside can be said to be a steel version of humans. The mechas in "Pacific Rim" are different. They are machines and they are monsters, so they emphasize more "mechanical sense" than "Transformers". . Every movement is very mechanized and the machine's peculiar cumbersome feeling is more real. "Pacific Rim 2: Resurrection of Thunder" has completely abandoned this setting, shaping the mecha into the feeling of a Transformer, fighting more agilely, moving smoothly, and special effects are completely "transformer-like". In terms of lenses, a lot of close-up shots were used in the first part. The fighting also gave a lot of close-up shots of the body parts of the mecha, showing the operation of the body parts when the mecha completed each action. You can clearly see that the wanderer is in When the foot is on the ground, the hydraulic device of the foot cooperates with the shock absorption of the gear parts. The second part is probably due to funding reasons. The medium and close shots discarded these. Most of the shots are composed of distant shots, and the details of the mecha are few. The poor performance is the light and shadow of the mecha. The first few movies are night battles (because the night show saves money). In an impressive city battle, the mechas are matched with the searchlights of the helicopters, and the colors of the city are reflected in the back. The light and shadow performance are perfect. In the daytime battle scenes in the second part, although the light is sufficient and the scenes can be seen more clearly, the color of the mecha is too bright and hardly any shadows can be seen, which is even more unreal than the first part. The effect is not as good as the first super-class level, and even a bit out of the range of Hollywood average. The plot of the first part has been criticized for being too simple, so the second part is still a bit ambitious. It broadens the content of the original world view, but it is self-defeating. The purpose of the director of the first part is very clear: what I want is the thrill of mecha beating "flowering a chrysanthemum", it doesn't matter what the plot is. In order to increase the content of the literary drama, the second part greatly compressed the combat drama. There were not many mech battle scenes seen in the previous hour. Compared with the first part, with the BGM at the beginning, the pilot went from being ready to joining the battle in one go. At that time, I was so eager to wait from the chair in the cinema. Jump up. Moreover, in the final battle, a total of four mechas were dispatched. Except for the saber Athena double knives and flexible movements, the other fighters had no characteristics at all. Compared to the first one, Crimson Storm's flexibility and maneuverability, Cherno Alpha's vigorous miracle, although the playing time is short, it is impressive. The point is that the movie had portrayed the plot for so long an hour ago, and even the mecha pilot was not portrayed well, but Jing Tian's overbearing president is impressive. The little robot "Boxer" is one of the few highlights in this film. Stupid and cute, played a key role in the decisive battle, and slightly increased my adrenaline level, which had almost no fluctuations throughout the course (the only fluctuation was when the classic "Pacific Rim" BGM variation appeared. A little more, I can give a little more praise), it is strongly recommended to use "Boxer" as the mascot of the "Pacific Rim" series out of the surroundings! ! Finally, I am looking forward to "Pacific Rim 3: Battle of Argus".
