The opening ten minutes of the predatory chase is worth three stars. The majestic momentum of the steam giant London and the details of the transformation of the small city all give this film a wonderful start.
First of all, let's talk about the exciting point. The world view of the movie is very good, and the overall plot also serves the world. This one has no choice but to do it first-class.
The special effects are great, very, very good, and choosing a good theater is really a visual treat.
The character setting of Anna, the Flower in the Wind, is great. Spiritual freedom and fighting for it are rare in this apocalyptic earth.
Another point is that Valentine's role conflict, his extreme split between the outside and the inside, actually has a lot of descriptions. At the beginning of taking the beating security guard(?) and the propaganda posters that appeared all the time gave him a very positive image, but the disagreement between the top garden and the mayor dragged his setting to the black one, this transition is not necessary? If he is set to be absolutely positive in front of outsiders, I don't know if it will be better. No one else will push Tom down, so will the black or white setting give the audience more sense of dramatic conflict?

Insufficient points may not be enough character characterization. Valentin's problem is also mentioned above. Also, after watching the movie for an hour, I actually forgot how many people there were in the Shanguo Team.. I only remember the handsome black boy (Anna's boyfriend?) and the young lady who sacrificed herself to blow up the last battery. Anna's depth is not enough, making this absolutely positive character look very thin. From being wanted at the beginning, to rescuing Hestershaw, to finally breaking into the church, this character did not feel heavy, and there was an indescribable sense of powerlessness.
The female doctor's setting is also very fascinated, and she is gone without explaining anything. She should also be an important role, restarting the Medusa plan with Valentine, and the second character of the entire villain, unexpectedly, is gone.
In fact, after reading it carefully, there are many unreasonable places.
A girl who has been homeless and raised by zombies since she was eight years old, why does she unconditionally believe in a strange man? Just because he was thrown by his enemies?
According to the setting, the top gardens are all high-class people on the first floor of London, but the group of people shown in the movie are mentally retarded who can only make fun. I don't see any sparkle at all.
The setting of the museum director seems redundant, not even as good as the whistleblower colleague..
The ending wasn't enough. Seeing that the houses in the mountain country are basically built against the city wall, Medusa went down three times, and there is no description of hell on earth at all? Just on fire? In the end, the people who accepted the Londoners were also speechless. Before their family members had finished rescuing them, a group of people stood on the wall of the ruins waiting to save others (or those who were standing in the garden shouting to attack you), and they had no emotions.
The hero and heroine are also very fascinated. Your mountain country team is basically destroyed. Anna's flowers have not bloomed in the wind yet. You two are going to travel around the world? Accept incompetence, let people not like it.

After writing it, I found that there are a lot of complaints, hahaha, it is all about the details. To sum up, the details are not portrayed enough, which makes the characters very weak. But it has little effect on the overall plot, at least not when watching the movie.
As an ordinary audience, it is generally a film that does not hide its flaws. Of course, I haven't read the original book, and I don't understand the perception of the original party.

At last:
Pod: I don't say it! The most important rule in this city is to shut up. I saw your dad push him down..
Black: I'm an emotional killer. you love him? boom..
