After watching the second part, I began to think about the timeline of the protagonists returning to the real world.

In the first part, the people who entered the game were divided into two groups. The first time was a kid who discovered the game alone. He became a pilot in the game for more than ten years, and the second group was our protagonist more than ten years later. A group of people entered. In order to make the ending of the story more warm and reasonable, the two groups of people returned to their own timeline after coming out of the game. This is understandable.

In the second part, this is much more complicated. First, the male lead entered alone, and then his friends and two old men entered the next morning. The remaining one and the original pilot entered the next night. There were three groups of people before and after, and the time and time of entry were It is dense, and the disappearance of the male lead who entered first affects only the time and life of his friends, but they also enter the game later.

The problem is coming. If they come out of the game and each return to their respective timelines, it will be very difficult to deal with. The hero returned to the night when he disappeared, and the next day he went to meet his friends, but in this case his Do the little friends know that they have entered the game again? If they do, it becomes a paradox, because then they will not go to the male lead’s house, but if they don’t know, it’s even more awkward that their memory disappears, and The third group of people who entered will return to the next night or morning...

The more you talk, the more chaotic you are, and the logic is not clear. In fact, there are such drawbacks in the first part. For example, the pilot brother has returned to the timeline of the protagonists more than ten years earlier. Could it be that they have not seen it once in more than ten years when their home is so close? They have changed the past from the future, but as people in the future, they have not been affected by the changed past. The reason why the first word-of-mouth is relatively good is just because as a commercial film, not many people think about it. Everyone is just happy, and the timeline of more than ten years is far away. , If it were not for the second part, maybe I would not have thought about the timeline of the first part.

In this regard, the second part of the treatment is to choose to let the protagonist and the group return to the same timeline, using the fewest shots, only to show the complicated mood of grandpa losing his friend, maybe the filming party is also trying to avoid causing too much in this regard. Discussion and controversy.

But the flaw of the second part in this respect is that the timeline of the three entries is too close, at least for me, it makes me inevitably think about the timeline of these people, and then the setting of the story begins. Feeling awkward, but thinking about it seems that there is no good solution.

This is obviously a problem that exists in the first part (or it is a problem of the story itself, because I haven't read the old version, I don't know how to deal with it in the first place)

I did not accuse the film of improper handling in this aspect. After all, if I were a screenwriter, I did not think of a one-size-fits-all solution. I just simply dig out this issue and talk about it. After all, commercial films sometimes have to put aside some of their brains before watching them. .

    The first one gave full marks, this sequel is so sleepy

    3.1 stars. Gouwei continued the work of mink. 1. The most lazy script I've seen recently. Forcibly break up, force melancholy to enter the game, forcibly kill teammates and all kinds of deaths are only one life left for everyone, forcibly there are magical pools everywhere, and more! Why should there be so many organs in a place where the horse is closed? ? ? 2. The laughing point still comes from the exchange of gender identities and black nagging accents, but there is too much nonsense and full of boring running accounts. 3. Although I buried a little touching baggage, it still makes people yawn again and again, which is a bit of a popcorn movie. . . boring.
