better than expected

To be honest, when I watched the trailer, I was disappointed. On the one hand, the original was so classic, I didn’t expect much from the remake, and on the other hand, Colin Faris’ bitter face really hurt me. But after watching it, I found that this film was shot with a good conscience. The short selling made me want to give him extra points after watching it.

On the one hand, the background has been greatly changed, and then there are enough fighting scenes, reflecting a lot of urban details, although the scientific nature of FALL is open to question, including running outside the cockpit and flipping gravity. Theoretically, the flip must be gradual. The whole process should be in a state of weightlessness. The 17-minute short-drive robot does not need to sleep at all, and the 15-minute bomb will not explode when it arrives at the station. The flaws here are endless.

But it can be seen that the screenwriter and director have a comprehensive rethinking of the future world. Some people like the colonial Chinese elements, some people think it's discrimination, I think it's a bit imitating Blade Runner. In fact, the passport inside also put Chinese in the first position.

Then, for example, shooting around the orbit, the concept of "parkour in the air" when chasing and fleeing in the colonial area, and the lobbying plot that uses confusion of thinking added in the middle of the plot. This plot can also be considered a kind of truth. It can be said that I thought of a lot of new things. Although it's a remake, I don't just want to upgrade the picture, but I really agree with the attitude of wanting to bring out the old and bring forth the new in the remake.

Then the male protagonist in the play has never recovered his memory, and the last scene also implies that the male protagonist may still be in REKALL. From this point of view, it makes sense to have a bitter face. Since I don't remember what kind of super agent, and since I'm really a civilian, I really can't look like a domineering, exposed god blocking the killing god. And the governor, no matter whether he plays a worker or a peasant, everyone knows that he will definitely kill the Quartet in the end. . .

In short, I'm still very excited to watch it. I think it's worth watching a commercial film like this, and I won't feel a loss after watching it.

It feels better than watching Prometheus, a film that can be made into a classic, but in the end, no secrets are brewed, and it makes people empty after watching it. I don't know if I should expect Pro and a sequel.
