Sky Rescue (2018)
6.3
2018 / Hong Kong USA / Action Thriller Adventure / Rosen Marshall Thurber / Dwayne Johnson Neve Campbell

Originally wanted to give three stars, but the scene, moral, plot and actors of this film are all good, so I gave it four stars. Also, this film successfully aggravated my fear of heights, why do you have to look down when you put 13 in the sky, Johnson? ? ?

This film also has a lot of grooves. I won't say anything else, just two points that I want to complain about the most:

1. The elevator escape clip of Johnson's wife and children.

First of all, the elevator is a free fall motion. Johnson's wife and children should be almost completely weightless when the elevator falls, and it is completely impossible to sit stably on the ground. And due to inertia, the mother and son will fly up and slam into the elevator ceiling immediately after the elevator falls. If the two of them are not stable, judging from the sitting posture of their mother and son, as soon as the elevator falls, they will faint or even die due to the violent impact on the ceiling of the elevator. What are they talking about pulling the lever? ? ?

I thought that the former FBI senior police officer and the protagonist of the film Da Shishi would take this into account and find a way to fix the mother and son in the elevator, but Johnson did not. He didn't take any safety measures for their mother and son, but after parting with them sadly, he sent the elevator down with an axe.

And the only way for the wife to stabilize herself and her child in the elevator is: holding the elevator handle ಥ_ಥEXM? ? ? And it worked so well that they were able to sit firmly in the elevator in almost total weightlessness.

And the speed of the elevator has reached as high as about 50m/s after five seconds of free fall. I read another review where the author calculated that it would take three times the distance to fully stop the elevator...meaning the elevator could knock people to death.

2. Johnson used the "mirror" to confuse Botha.

This clip reminds me of the end of the Ultraman movie - the mirror knight makes a mirror and confuses Beria. It's almost the same, isn't it? ! !

Okay, let's talk about the pitfalls. When Johnson was talking to Botta, Johnson was behind Botta and still very close to him. But Johnson used the mirror to confuse Botta and let Botta think Johnson was right in front of him. Although Johnson visually confuses the other party, what about auditory? ? ? Using binaural positioning Botta can completely accurately judge that Johnson is behind him! To put it bluntly, Bota, a top criminal gangster, can't hear the voice coming from behind? ? ? Or was it because the environment was special or the villain was so excited that he didn't hear it? ? ?

If you are simply looking for thrills, this movie is for you. After all, my heart was pounding when I watched it.

I don't want to talk about other slots (˶‾᷄ ⁻̫ ‾᷅˵)

If you want to know more about the slots, go to other more authoritative movie reviews. The summary will be much better than mine. I just wrote this movie review because I couldn't restrain myself from wanting to complain, clam!

    If Johnson was replaced by Conan, the film would be perfect.
