The science fiction movie " Tomorrow War " starring Louis Koo is popular on various online platforms. It is said that the offline box office is not good. Before the screening, I saw Principal Gu running around various theaters to promote the film. His expression was tired and nervous. It may be that his muscles were not relaxed enough after plastic surgery. I really felt sorry for him. Chinese movies Be careful when shooting science fiction. This curse will not disappear because of "The Wandering Earth". I hope Louis Koo can learn from this.
Today we will talk about one of the reasons for the failure of "Tomorrow's War": the special effects are full of plastic. Now let’s look at a few scenes and compare them with classic foreign science fiction films to see how they compare.
1. The image design of the alien creature Pandora is too cliché. Pandora, an alien creature brought by the meteorite , looks like a piranha.
Below are pictures of piranha from foreign films
Let’s take a look at the various alien creatures in other films
2. Artificial intelligence The image presents an old mechanical style.
The bulky armor and small bright eyes make people feel lacking in intelligence and slow in action. The intelligent people in many classic films are also mechanical combinations, but they have their own characteristics.
3. The design of the spaceship fleet is too rough, lacks details, and has an old-fashioned appearance.
Compared with the spaceships in other science fiction movies, they are indeed not sophisticated enough.
This movie brings together many big-name stars in Hong Kong, many of whom are talented actors.
Lau Ching Wan , Nick Cheung , and Louis Koo all have profound acting skills and have created many unforgettable characters. However, because the grasp of science fiction movies is not accurate enough, I would rather make a disaster-style science fiction movie with the feeling of a police movie.
Science fiction movies are neither myths nor animations, and they cannot be made by relying on computer special effects, weird powers, or patchwork. The foundation of science fiction relies on the powerful power of science and technology, and this scientific knowledge can expand logical and reasonable associations. For example, "Interstellar" is a science fiction classic with rigorous logic and reasonable associations.
hopes to see more truly imaginative domestic science fiction movies in the future.
