In the past, Dahai always felt that two diseases were rampant in Japanese animation, and it was always the young protagonist who saved the world. I recently watched the newly released "Moving Maze 3" and found that Americans are better than Japanese.
"Maze Movement 3: The Antidote to Death" is the final chapter of this series. The quality of the film is the same as that of the "Hunger Games" and "Divergent" series, which are also dystopian themes for teenagers.
After watching "Maze Moving 3", many people questioned that there is no maze in the movie. In fact, this movie is adapted from a novel. The names of the novel trilogy are "Moving Labyrinth", "Burning Trial", "Death Antidote", and a prequel called "Command to Kill".
So apart from the first part, the other stories have nothing to do with the maze. For the convenience of publicity, each movie must be named "Moving Maze". If the title is missing the word "Moving Maze", how much do you guess the box office will lose?
In fact, "Moving Maze 1" was still amazing when it was released. The film did not copy the "Battle Royale" routine like "The Hunger Games", but played an American suspense style similar to "Another Dimensional Killing Array":
The protagonist Thomas woke up from an unfamiliar environment and lost his memory. Surrounded by a huge moving maze, filled with various traps and monsters, it gave people a shocking and depressing feeling.
The setting of the environment in the maze also has sociological experimental significance: some mazes are a group of boys with only one girl in it; some mazes are a group of girls with only one boy in it.
Gender disparity in extreme environments can completely arouse the ugly and cruel side of human nature. However, the film is a subject for young audiences after all, so at this point it is just a taste.
What's even more pity is that the film has gradually become unfinished since the second part. The biggest highlight of the maze + parkour is gone, and it has become a brainless doomsday zombie film. Of course, this pot cannot be memorized by the director, because the original novel is unfinished.
So what should I do? The plot is not enough, special effects come together .
At the beginning of the third part, in order to rescue the good friend Mino who was taken away by the villain organization "Experiment Department", Thomas and his friends staged an action drama of "robbing the train", and instantly made the sea jump into the drama. Speed and "Base Feeling".
Later, Thomas found that there was no Mino in the robbed carriage, so he found the base camp of the "Experiment Department"-the last city.
The protagonist group sneaked into the city and went through all the fights and killings. The villain "Littlefinger" and his little friends were forced to a desperate situation, and had to stage a series of flowers such as "falling from a high altitude" and "escape from a crane". Work, is it also familiar? Yes, this is the youth version of "Mission Impossible".
In addition to these homogenized special effects scenes, the plot of the film is also constantly frustrated, and it has gathered almost all the brainless routines that the audience can think of:
The protagonist has a special life experience. Christ returns and shoulders the destiny of saving all mankind. (However, as a former employee of the "Experiment Department", Thomas has never discovered that his blood is the antidote. It is indeed a black factory, and there is no employee medical examination!) ；
The protagonist has no false shots, and the villains are all waste. The battle damage ratio between the two sides is at least 1:10 (the poor Uncle Finger was abused by the protagonist's halo again, and was always pitted to death by the heroine);
The protagonist talks about love in an emergency, has a deep brotherhood, and delays escape time (Newt & Teresa: Director, I can rescue it. Director: No need to rescue it, it's the finale, just go to the life producer and get the lunch box. ).
But the most ridiculous thing about this series is the reason for the maze.
The mystery created by the first film gave fans the urge to question the roots. However, the explanation given by the screenwriter (author) made people vomit blood: the doomsday virus is raging. In order to test the brain response of the immune person in a crisis environment, it was built This maze.
In the apocalyptic environment, the cost of doing this is a bit high. It's better to say that aliens occupy the earth and put the remnants of humans into a maze to fight and watch, or that the protagonists are all put on sleeping devices, it is consciousness that is breaking through the maze.
This is also a common problem with works of similar themes: digging holes is easy, but filling holes is difficult. (The sequels of "Different Dimensional Killing Array" and "Battle Royale" series are also terrible, and a wonderful brain hole is often difficult to justify.)
Of course, although the "Moving Labyrinth" series is bad, it is the only movie in the same subject that allows the sea to see the end from beginning to end. The reason is also very simple: there is no bloody and procrastinating love story like "The Hunger Games" and "Divergent", and there is no urge to fast forward.
Especially the burning to death of the heterosexual ending is simply praiseworthy. It is clearly a base film of brotherhood. What do you want the heroine to do? Roar~
