Enough for pleasure, but not helpful

■This year’s 41st film, the science fiction disaster film "Beyond Skyline (Skyline Havoc 2)" (USA/2017), the content of the film is connected to the core theme of the first "See Blu-ray, Live Forever", by the tough guy Frank Grillo Take the lead and carry the terrorist attacks on alien life. To be honest, this science fiction sequel (or the content is parallel to the first one) is actually not as bad as the outside comment. I think it's pretty good-looking, not bad plot and special effects, plus intense excitement. Fighting is basically qualified. Only when it was released in 2017, many of the scientific and logical flaws of the film will always provoke negative comments from fans who have already "experienced the baptism of blockbuster films" and become more critical and more serious. If you want to come this is also normal. The content of the first half hour was quite bluffing, and it also made the basic preparation for enhancing the appetite of suspense. The relatively blunt father-son relationship between Mark and his son was immediately wiped out after the subway accident. After that, he successfully entered the tradition of group escape and fight monsters. Science fiction adventure movie route, military intervention and the sudden appearance of alien creatures. The movie begins a fast-paced scene switch from underground to above ground, then to the sky, and finally back to the underground. The rhythm becomes faster and the battle becomes more bloody and brutal. In the alien spacecraft of the human trafficker group, the "blood droplets" that collect the essence of human brains are like the ultimate deadly weapon of terrorists. The instantaneous battle with humans is so simple and crude that it is almost impossible to explain it on a scientific level. In the second half of the film, the stunning addition of Indonesian action star Iko Uais took away most of Frank Grillo’s protagonists, but the rhythm of the movie just entered the Vietnam War Zone and began to become more and more popular. The more and more nonsense and messy, seemingly unconquerable "Battlestar", in reality, it only needs three-and-five-two action confrontation and the aberrant girl gene of the "three-day adult" to easily fix it. The alien's low IQ setting is once again Copy the embarrassing situation in "Independence Day" that is so stupid to make people distressed. Although there are many pits, but this is a low-cost science fiction production that does not need to be too serious. It can only be said that in terms of the comprehensive content and completion of the film itself, everything is not bad. Acceptable "over and over" entertainment production. It's enough to please, but it's not helpful to study carefully. [Score: 6 points/10 points]

    The first part is still a little interesting, but the second part is completely routine.

    3 stars, the special effects are still full, the action scenes have also been improved, the plot logic is still not very smooth, but the overall story makes sense. can see.
