The rendering of the atmosphere is pretty good

The first half of the film is quite lengthy. For example, it took ten minutes to highlight the desolate atmosphere just to describe the male protagonist wandering in the ruins of London after waking up. Negative Ratings.
The change started from the formation of a trio. In order to save the male protagonist, Mark contracted the virus, and the female protagonist did not hesitate to use a dogleg knife to hack him to death. The cruelty of survival is evident. After experiencing various hardships, I met a father and a daughter hiding in a residential building. During this period, the heroine’s feelings for the hero also changed. From only believing in survivalism and disregarding the life and death of others, to realizing the true feelings of the world, the heroine gradually Shattered the surrounding cold walls, slowly became considerate and feminine, and gradually fell in love with the male protagonist. Emotions make people soft, but they are also the only driving force that supports people to live in a fragmented world. The desperate soldiers live for primitive desires, while the fragile protagonists live for hope and precious emotions.
The trip of a group of four with the father and daughter should be a highlight of the film. The brilliance of human nature is undoubtedly revealed here. During the trip, the scenery is exquisite, like a fairyland, which temporarily pulls people out of the cold hell. This period of relaxation pushes the plot in four or two ways, and the audience's tight hearts relax, waiting for the next period of despair to hold their hearts again.
The essence part is the last climax part. The theme song with a strong back-swing style gradually begins. First, the piano is played repeatedly with a slightly neurotic slender double tone, and the bass is slowly plucked to convey the darkness of human nature. Afterwards, an icy, unvoiced electric guitar was added, and all the buried clues erupted together. The livestock infected by Mailer frantically killed in the survivor base. Soon, one, two, and more and more soldiers died. As the drum beats up, the distorted guitar instantly penetrates, and good and evil are confronting head-on. This is no longer the struggle between humans and the infected, but the intricate entanglement of human nature. The male protagonist cleverly knocked down one soldier after another and rescued the female protagonist. The two embraced tightly, the music stopped abruptly, and only the weird unvoiced sound was still playing, playing their hazy and uncertain future. . In the whole process, the background music can be described as silky, seamless, and the atmosphere is to the extreme.
The precious humanity and the rare back-swing soundtrack made me give this film five stars, nothing more.
