Disaster and Action~

When was the last time you saw a theme like Destroying a Skyscraper? Oh, in the Conan theatrical version more than 20 years ago, in the end, Conan rode a bicycle and flew upstairs on the other side with the impact of the explosion, which fully demonstrated the characteristics of the Conan theatrical version that is purely an action movie.

Since it is the subject of the destruction of skyscrapers, the first thing to show is the skyscraper itself. What is created in the film is a 200-story high-rise building, which is much taller than all existing skyscrapers in the world. There is a scene in the film, All the external cameras are turned on, and the rocks are like standing in mid-air, and there are boulders behind them. When crossing the ladder, there is a shot that switches to the first-person looking down, which drives the rhythm of acrophobia...

One of the highlights of the film is the fire and explosion. If you say that the part that ignites when it meets water is an appetizer, you can feel the fire that gradually expands as the boulder saves people, whether it is a big explosion in an indoor park or watching from the outside. The entire upper half of the building was on fire, and the tense rescue operation (although it was definitely a happy reunion in the end) had a lot of impact.

Dushi is going to save his wife and children again this time (why should I say another word?), this time, instead of having a helicopter to fly like "Doomsday Collapse", he went into battle in person, which contributed a lot of action scenes, some of them It's a pity that several action scenes such as Mirror Maze, Jumping, Rope Swing are somewhat shadows of past films, and the film seems to have more dramatic conflicts, often an accident is solved and then another accident, once it's okay, If you do this for so long, some screenwriters feel that it is difficult for actors to act. Anyway, they can always succeed in the end, right?

    High is high enough, I am afraid not too afraid. Talking about the thrilling effect of being intimidated by heights is not as good as "Walking in the Clouds".
