Really ugly, waste of time and money

The overall plot is in one word: rotten.

At the beginning, the audience was interested with beautiful music and gorgeous pictures, and then the boring road drama consumed the audience's patience while making up the time. Then the plot turned so that the audience seemed to be able to watch it, and finally ended the whole film in a cliché.

What to watch: Not bad BGM, photography and transitions.

The rest is almost full of bugs.

At first I thought it was a story of a heroine and two useless men, but later found it was a story of a few hundred-year-old old man finding true love and rekindling hope in life.

The plot as a whole is a road movie, and the protagonists want to find a location. If you encounter a problem during the journey, solve a problem, take a sudden adventure, and do not need to be related before and after, and it is not an indispensable content.

Sudden problem! Wow wow wow quick fix! solved! Whoa whoa, here comes another one! It’s like visiting the project attractions of a theme park…

The first half of the plot is so boring and lethargic that you can just give up thinking. The world line is recovered in the middle and back sections, the secrets of the male protagonist are revealed unexpectedly, and the first half of the scene seems to be wearing a gang. The latter part is full of routines, and the family carnival ends.

The plot of each scene is very purposeful, that is, "I want everyone to know that XX is a person with XX characteristics", or "This point is very important, I want to emphasize", and then a label is attached, or a cannon is fired, It lacks a sense of coherence and smoothness. I know I have to laugh hard, but I can't.

Recycling the part of the world line is a bit interesting, but it's not limited to that. It feels that the expedition team 400 years ago traveled and explored for love, and after being rescued in distress, the story of revenge, brother Ni Qiang, and the victor of infighting to build a town is more exciting than the main story of the film...

In terms of character design, the female protagonist is beautiful and capable, the male protagonist seems to be reliable but lies constantly, the younger brother is spoiled by petty aristocrats, and the villain is simply crazy.

The heroine and the younger brother are not annoying, but the male lead is nasty at the beginning, and there is no chemical reaction with the heroine... The actors are not bad, but I really don't feel it...

If there is no way to explain the behavior of the characters, they will directly set up labels, which will lead to a break in the logic of the plot. And there are too many dispensable parts, such as the camera that appears a few times, what's the use?

There are too many places to complain in one sentence, just write it casually:

Cute pets seem to be a must-have element, and there are quite a few in this one. The big cat looks pretty good.

As long as the younger brother does not say a word when explaining, I will treat it as an orthopaedic department.

The piranhas and the attacked 600 Aboriginals are interesting and heart-wrenching. Hardworking and uncompromising to help the male lead tool man.

Why is it love? Do you cheat too much and steal your heart too?

The heroine's lung capacity is really good, and her swimming level is not like someone who has never been in the water. When entering the water, there must be mouth-to-mouth breathing, and I thought that artificial respiration would come by the way.

In short... a movie that burns after reading, maybe, you don't even need to read it.

You can also experience an "All around you." sound effect and detailed visual effects in the theater, but there seems to be nothing worth watching other than this.

Now is not an era when a snake head popping out suddenly or a ship rushing out of a 2D screen can scare people, and the essence of the film has to return to the story. Technology is a flower for a good plot, not a fig leaf for an unknown object.

Finally, I would like to thank this film for giving me a novel experience of leaving the venue. I am very happy to run in the rain.

    Or the part that exposes the deceitful nature of the Disney tour is the best to watch

    Because the theme is cruise, I did not hesitate to choose 4DX, and I was not disappointed, because the national equipment can pay more attention to the content of the screen. As the chair swayed and brought into the protagonist’s dream world, there were vibrations, smoke, gunfire, and even the fragrance of flowers. It was an adventure as a cruise ship. It was a pity that there was no splash (maybe I didn’t feel it?). He just doubled the viewing experience brought by this boring old-fashioned story, and the 3D special effects were also done well, reminding me of the amazing experience of watching a 3D movie in a theater for the first time.

    McGregor Houghton: If I wanted to go to a primitive backwater where I can't understand a word anyone's saying, I'd visit our relatives in Scotland.
