These benefits made netizens cheer and prepare hard drives one after another.
Because the first two Cloverfield series are really impressive and unforgettable.
The first "Cloverfield" uses hand-held photography to present the visual spectacle of the monster's surprise attack on the earth in a pseudo-documentary. The amazing imagination and the lens design that makes the audience fly are exciting and novel, directly igniting people's curiosity.
Comments have risen all the way, and even the subtitles at the end of the film have many hidden mysteries, and fans directly gave them a high evaluation of "God's work".
The second "10 Cloverfield Lane, 10 Cloverfield Lane" was a hit before it was released. Although there was no dazzling handheld photography, the script was more solid, and it played with claustrophobic spaces and secret rooms.
The reversal and reversal of the climax part made the audience so excited that they almost collapsed, and their jaws could not close in surprise.
Therefore, as the third installment of the series, "Cloverfield Paradox" is naturally highly anticipated.
Exactly where those strange monsters come from, what is the fate of the earth, how human beings save themselves, etc. The big holes dug in the previous two episodes are all urgently needed to be filled.
But,
unfortunately, after finishing the "Cloverfield Paradox", Fat Brother can only say that it is lackluster, like a tasteless rib.
Network ratings also say a lot.
"Cloverfield's Paradox" has a lot of heart, but its execution is really poor.
The food is very tempting and mouth-watering, but after processing, the dishes that come with it are bland and tasteless, which is a pity.
"Clover's Paradox" finally gave the mystery of where the "monster" came from, but the twisting plot not only did not create a strong sense of conflict, but instead gave people the suspicion of piecing together.
In "Cloverfield's Paradox", you can clearly identify the elements of the routine similar to last year's popular space thriller "Alien Awakening", especially the ending of the big reversal, which is almost the same.
In the middle of the plot, the parallel space of "The Night the Comet Came" is used.
In terms of worldview, the small group in the closed space of space is used to metaphorize the overall pattern of the earth, in an attempt to analyze geopolitics from small to large.
Much of the Cloverfield Paradox takes place on the spaceship Shepard.
The earth's energy is depleted, the global resource war is imminent, and the cold war pattern between major powers is returning.
A team composed of elites in the earth science community hopes to use the particle collider on the Shepard spacecraft to create "God particles" in the universe, provide the earth with permanent and efficient energy, and end the dilemma of the depletion of the earth's resources.
But the experiment failed constantly, and human beings fell into despair.
Even more frightening is that after a collision experiment, the Shepard ripped apart the parallel space and jumped into another world.
Strangers came to the spaceship, and the spaceship also experienced all kinds of unexpected fear mutations.
Shaped insects entered the scientist's body; the
spaceship wall swallowed the scientist's arm;
one after another "accidents" left the scientists on the spaceship helpless.
Due to entering an unknown parallel space, they also lost contact with the earth, and the entire spacecraft and crew fell into complete isolation and desperation.
On Earth, on the other hand, the war for resources has begun, and cities are thrown into chaos.
The creepy and mysterious monsters descended on the earth, and the world became a hell.
The film concluded that it was the collider that created the "God Particle" that led to the arrival of the space behemoths on the earth. The coincidence of parallel spaces put the earth into an unprecedented crisis, and human beings were instantly wiped out.
Such interesting material was completely wiped out in "Cloverfield's Paradox".
The first is that the two-line narrative of the universe and the earth is completely disconnected, the heroine is struggling in space, and the hero is lost in the earth.
This was originally a good narrative structure, but the space part completely fell into the routine of thrillers and horror films. The scene where the scientist was lifted into bed and twitched almost almost imitated the belly of "Alien". Fortunately, the director restrained, Finally, the belly was cut with a scalpel, and a space cult parody was staged in the form of "witchcraft".
All the horror scenes in "Cloverfield's Paradox" are bland and old-fashioned, and
nothing new is its biggest problem.
The film gives people a feeling of premature ejaculation that never reaches the climax. Seeing that the climax is about to come, it is always so weak and finally weak and long.
The use of elements in parallel spaces is also disorganized.
Another female scientist in a parallel space enters Shepard as the heroine, which is definitely an entry point to stimulate the transformation of the characters and enhance the conflict.
In addition, the contradiction between the heroines of two parallel spaces being in the same space at the same time is also a dramatic conflict and the inner entanglement of the characters. tipping point.
As a result, in order to force the reversal, the heroine was finally returned to her own parallel space, giving a theme-first logical explanation for the tragedy of "going home".
The motive of reversing for the sake of reversal is too obvious, making the audience quite disgusted with this kind of routine scheming, and it can only be exchanged for an "oh" from the fans, which is difficult to shock the soul and cause empathy.
In the end, all of the conundrums that "Cloverfield's Paradox" presents in the development of the plot are ultimately unresolved, and this narrative construction is irresponsible.
The God particle still failed to collide successfully; the
spaceship was devastated;
the hero and heroine returned to the earth to no avail;
the human beings in another parallel space could not reverse the defeat;
the difficulties that were constantly built up, the obstacles created for the characters, not only did they fail to complete the characters The inner epiphany brought an arc turning point, and did not bring the story to the end, but deliberately left suspense again.
I heard that the fourth "Clover" is already on the way and is planned to be launched.
If the third book exists to lead to the fourth, or even the fifth, then such commercial considerations are indeed debatable.
The powerlessness of the narrative, the powerlessness of the rhythm, the cliché of the elements, and the formalization without any scheduling make "Cloverfield's Paradox" pale and boring.
Use monsters to create big scenes, use parallel spaces to create character conflicts, use closed spaces to enhance tension and suspense, and use a sword to seal your throat!
The templates are all done, but unfortunately the makers are almost crafty, and the final product gives a cheap feeling.
In the end, I can only sigh that the Chinese actress Zhang Ziyi played a significant role in the film, and the large Chinese lines also gave a new display of China's international status and image.
The Earth Control Center is no longer the same Houston, but has become Qinhuangdao Station,
which shows the rapid improvement of China's international status in the world system.
