Warning: There are special effects inside, pretending to force critically ill patients not to approach.

Because I like "The Day After Day" very much. So I have been full of expectations for this movie. So as soon as it was released, I couldn't wait to rush to the cinema.
The result did not disappoint me, the special effects were too spectacular. When the mountain collapsed, the building collapsed and the tsunami scene appeared on the big screen, it was truly shocking.

So some people are upset. In their view, how can film be pure entertainment first? Like this kind of movie, this is simply a brainless performance. It doesn't show their superior taste at all. The movie is to be thought-provoking, bright and sad, and panic after watching it. After watching this kind of movies that only increase the secretion of adrenaline, it is rubbish.

For this kind of person, I can only say, don't watch it if you don't like it. After watching it, I don’t like to complain, but I still have to rise to the height of some Renaissance. I still feel sorry for the degeneration of the current film market and express infinite contempt for the IQ of today’s audiences. Pretending to be so pretentious is really short of day.

The reason why the naive (very naive) came out to publish such a grievance was because I saw many pretending repeat offenders in the past two days, groaning without illness, what kind of humanistic care, and the spirit of doomsday, even "Schindler's List" "All have been compared. It's a big hit when you look at it. If this movie is really special effects, and the plot is terrible, they still have reason to scold it. But after watching it, this is clearly an entertainment blockbuster with perfect special effects, spectacular scenes, and a good plot. Although it is not brilliant, there is nothing wrong with it. Why did it lead to such bad reviews?

By the way, his biggest mistake is that he is an entertainment blockbuster. Although he justified himself and gave an explanation for the destruction of the earth (although it is based on the sudden change of neutrinos, which has an effect on matter, which violates the premise of current physics. But science fiction films justify themselves. They are completely strict. According to scientific theories, what is the meaning of science fiction?), there is always no reason for all kinds of disasters to come suddenly and unreasonably. But the plot is really mediocre. But for this type of disaster film, it is easier said than done to innovate.

Originally, the movie is an entertainment tool. No one will yell at an online game because it has no deep connotations, but a movie can be brutally abused because of this. In fact, I have always felt that if you want to see other things, why go to the cinema, there are vulgar things everywhere: the clicking sound of food, the ringing of mobile phones, the crying of children, the flirtatious sounds of lovers. He also had to endure the interference of a dark shadow passing in front of him for a long time. To put it bluntly, going to the movie theater to watch the plot is a pain, and I don't know how good it is to watch it at home. You can be as deep as you want. Don't you just have fun? What's wrong with entertainment blockbusters. Today, when TV sets and DVDs are so developed, movies can still maintain their vitality, precisely because the audiovisual effects of theaters are unmatched by other viewing methods. Perhaps because of the abnormally high ticket prices of Chinese movies, movie watching, which is just a cheap entertainment in the United States, has become an elegant petty bourgeoisie in China.

Of course, the film can be made noble and profound. I also like some so-called literary and artistic films, or some so-called "pretend to watch movies". But it would be too stupid to despise other movies because of this. Even if it’s a story-oriented person, this movie will not get a two-star or even a one-star tragic rating after deducting the special effects factor. Most of the domestically produced movies have nothing more than the plot, or even far worse. What's more, in addition to the plot, there is also the enjoyment that can only be brought by the visual effects of a movie. Of course, if the special effects and the plot fly together, it is naturally best if the commercial is the same as the literature and art. But how can you take advantage of all the cheap things in the world. Since "Shawshank's Redemption" can get five stars because of the plot. Why can't the outstanding visual effects of "2012" get five stars? Therefore, in order to increase the score, but also because I am a special effects supreme person, I give five stars.

The idiot complaint is over. Now let’s talk about the movie itself. I always thought that the predictions of the Mayans are enough. All kinds of disasters, earthquakes, volcanoes, and tsunamis can all appear inexplicably. But surprisingly, the film even gave an explanation for the destruction of the earth. Then naturally it is the law of immortality for the protagonist, and the law of death for the supporting role around the unlucky protagonist. By the way: I really like that handsome guy flying a plane. And also in uniform. It's a pity that he died so tragically. (By the way, that rich man, it would be strange to find such a handsome person by his side, and it would be strange if his mistress did not cheat. Then, that mistress died a little inexplicably. Her last stage was too good. And the protagonist’s wife is really amazing. Silent, whoever survives will be with whom... Then, the little lama named Nima, I thought unkindly: I don’t know if it’s surnamed Cao...)

The biggest topic of this movie is Chinese elements. Although it is very popular to play with Chinese elements nowadays, it is really unprecedented for China to wear a high hat like this movie. So it was able to pass through the mainland without cutting. But it is not very far-fetched. Because the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is indeed much safer for other places, (no matter from which aspect, natural or social), it is a good place to build an ark. (Speaking of which, I didn't know until I finally saw the Ark. The "spaceship" mentioned before was not a spaceship, but an Ark). And whether you are happy or not, the truth is that China is a place rich in cheap labor. "Except for China, there is nowhere to build an Ark." This sentence is not a compliment, but a bitter fact.

The film has shown a spectacular doomsday scene, gave a self-justified main thread, and gave a possible result of the event. Besides, what else can you expect for a movie about the destruction of the world? As for the sensational ending of some dog-blooded passages, I don't think this is a big problem. Because my purpose of watching this movie has been achieved. It's enough for me to spend the money to be cool. I am such a superficial person.

    Is there anything else besides special effects and sensationalism? Chinese spirit saving the world is undoubtedly another fart of the media.

    Very generally, the disaster film has the effect of a comedy, and there is basically no place that can touch people’s hearts.
