1. The film itself has a good sense of technology, but the director's expression and control over the plot are not enough (there is not enough time for the director, the film is one and a half hours long), Samsung.
2. Xing Fang Fang 2 is an independent film, it is unnecessary to continue after Xing Fang Xing 1.
3. The center of gravity of Xinfangxuan 2 is hypercube (hypercube) + escape room. The first is to explain the phenomenon that the hypercube may produce, so that the audience can draw inferences from other facts and generate a sense of substitution; the second is to clarify the escape rules.
Compare "Inception" to see:
(1) Taking the example of sharing dreams with new entrants in the early stage, various interpretations of the dream and the phenomena that may occur or create (space folding, visual deception, etc.) Don't get distracted when you have an important story.
(2) Explain the way of waking up from the dream (escape rule).
The above two points are the skeleton of the logical establishment of "Inception" and the skeleton that forms the structure of the film: if you know a certain means and its expression (stage props), as well as escape rules (conventional rules), please start your performance.
Panic party 2:
(1) In the early stage, the explanation of the hypercube itself and its occurrence was not enough. First, it caused the audience to have a weak sense of substitution. Second, the image of the hypercube was not full. The concept of the hypercube was suddenly introduced in the play, but the explanation was too little to make people are satisfied. Therefore, the killing cubes and pillars that appeared later were purely for the purpose of showing the way of killing.
(2) The rule of how to escape has not been clarified. Finally, I suddenly found that the escape rule is: you can't escape according to a certain law, but you are lucky, this cube is unstable and is about to collapse, so you can escape. As a thriller-themed movie, it may be okay to do it this way, but as a technology-themed movie, it seems too abrupt and far-fetched to have no logic before and after. In science and technology movies, in order to cater to the plot, sometimes it is inevitable to be abrupt, but it should be well covered. For example, in "Inception", there was no explanation for limbo (chaos) at the beginning. When it appeared, Xiao Lizi directly said that the sedative dose was too large, and the audience could not wake up after dying in the dream. The audience actually accepted this instantly. It is logical, it is still due to the good foreshadowing in the early stage, and it is sufficient. Panic Fang 1 is generally rated higher than 2, and the above two points are more in place: first, it reveals the situation and potential crisis in the stage (cube), and then when the actors are arguing and the audience is a little bored, it reveals the cube's escape rules , the audience then looks all the way down. Panic Fang 2, which continues to give people a feeling: what does the next murder prop look like? To escape or not to escape? This is not suitable for a technology-themed movie that pays attention to logic.
In short, Panic Fang 2 applied a good technological concept at that time, but limited by the production cost, film length, etc., it was not easy for the director, so he could only shoot in thriller movies, covering up the unsmooth logic in technology. It's a pity to push the story forward.
