After watching Restart the Earth, I was really disgusted with the characters, and no one liked them.

In 20 19, The Wandering Earth, starring Jason Wu, won 4.68 billion box office, creating a miracle of China science fiction box office.

I thought that China's sci-fi films ushered in a brand-new beginning, but the sci-fi films released later became more and more embarrassing.

In the same year, Shanghai Fortress, which claimed to have invested 300 million yuan, became the joke of China science fiction movies with a box office score of 65.438+23 billion yuan.

It is no exaggeration to say that how high The Wandering Earth is praised, how miserable Shanghai Fortress is sprayed.

In the last two years, domestic sci-fi films have begun to exert their strength in the Internet field. Only in recent days, "Mars Change" and "Restart the Earth" have been released one after another.

Unlike Mars Change, which focuses on space rescue, the story of restarting the earth still happens on the earth.

The film mainly tells that in order to solve the problem of desertification, human beings have developed drugs to accelerate the proliferation of plant cells, but unexpectedly awakened plant consciousness. In order to save human civilization, China team and survivors embarked on the journey of transporting plant stabilizing liquid.

Since the release of Restart the Earth, word-of-mouth has been polarized. At present, the score is only 3.8 points, with a total of 8.39 million.

Netizens gave recognition to the special effects and settings.

Another part of netizens spit too much like a wandering earth, and the sensational part is set on the surface, which is difficult to cause * * *.

"Restart the Earth" is starring Michael, Yu Rongguang, Michelle Ye and other famous actors, but there are many gaps in background setting, plot and characterization.

Background setting

In movies, there are generally two kinds of background settings.

One is that the setting will affect the development of the whole plot. For example, in the The Wandering Earth, the background was set to escape with the earth, so everyone moved underground, and the surface temperature and atmosphere changed greatly due to the propeller, which played a practical role.

The other is pure mouth. Hi. For example, the background is set in winter, and everyone walks around in swimsuits without feeling cold. This kind of cognition is very different from the audience, especially with a sense of drama. Restarting the earth falls into this category.

The film begins by explaining that plants are afraid of sunlight and ultraviolet rays. Men did use this when saving their daughters, but in later stories, plants can not only hunt them everywhere, but even penetrate the surface to occupy the world. So, is the setting of fear of ultraviolet rays eaten by the screenwriter?

In addition, plant barriers are a very powerful thing in movies, and scientists all over the world have not found a solution through various efforts. Just when everyone was desperate, the invincible plant barrier was broken by the magma of 1000 degrees.

Can only magma achieve this effect?

In view of the existence of nuclear weapons in movies, there must be more ways to achieve similar or more effects. Scientists all over the world are smart men rather than being insulted by screenwriters.

This episode in "Restart the Earth" is very similar to the setting of lighting Jupiter in The Wandering Earth, but it fails to grasp the essence and completely becomes an auxiliary tool to highlight the value of men.

In order to make the magma converge to one point, the man and the task force went to destroy the stabilizing device, but they were attacked by plants on the way and started the detonating device in advance.

Time is only 10 minutes. Is it urgent? Are you nervous? This is the idea of the audience.

Men and women soldiers not only have time to slowly come to the blasting site, but also have time to say goodbye. It was supposed to be short, and it wasted more than a second for ten minutes, which was made into a sensational drama by the director.

The so-called setting has become a complete joke.

The plot of a play

If the setting makes the audience feel the drama, then there are some plots that make the audience feel that they don't know what they want to express.

After the daughter was taken away by plants, the man went to the rescue and later met a plant monster like a snake. Seeing that there is a big gap between the enemy and the enemy, the man picked up a branch with a finger less than thick and was about to stab the plant monster. Finally, I was stopped by my daughter and female warrior.

Is this an expression of whether the man is stupid or bad?

It's really stupid if you can't understand the strength gap. If you keep stabbing, and the opponent doesn't break through the defense, but puts several people in danger, then you are really bad.

Seeing that the plant monster behind him was about to be discovered, the man told his daughter to leave quickly, and then the plant monster went after her. ......

You mean let your daughter distract the monster and run away? What are you pretending to be a great father behind your back?

There are many stories about unknown so like the above.

During the mission, several players died one after another, and two of them were caught by plants and detonated grenades.

I think grenades can be thrown, right Or did the director give an order that it can only be used before death, and can't be thrown at other times?

The most speechless scene is old terrier. The rope is broken and someone has to sacrifice.

When crossing the bridge at high altitude, the man and his daughter accidentally fell, and the team leader quickly saved her. But in a few seconds, it means that the life-saving rope is about to break. Finally, the captain sacrificed himself and left the hope of life to the man and woman.

Are you moved? Not at all.

The rope used by the special forces to perform their tasks is not as good as a few dollars. The director group needs to change suppliers.

This story proves that as long as the director wants to stir up emotion, there are 10 thousand ways to make the characters die.

Characteristic description

If you are not so careful about the setting of "Mouth Hi" and "unknown so's Plot", you may only feel that something is wrong, and it will not be so serious, but the characters are an important factor to promote the development of the plot, so it is difficult to care.

In "Restart the Earth", it is difficult for you to find a lovable person, such as a man, a task force member and a little girl. Their shortcomings are far more noticeable than their advantages.

First of all, the man, holding a wooden stick on it, has said that the monster is just "stupid and bad", and then deliberately set up a plot to refuse to participate in the task to strengthen this feature.

After the death of engineer Lao Lei, the task force needed the help of this person who knew mechanical power. But the man refused to join the team, although he knew that the world would be destroyed in dozens of hours, and even if he returned to the shelter, he would die. Finally, with the participation of his daughter, the man was forced to reluctantly join the task force.

Here, the director wants to create conflicts and make the film more dramatic. Obviously, the conflict has people, but it has collapsed. In addition to strengthening the male master's "stupid and bad" characteristics, he also successfully shaped the image of "selfishness".

In contrast, if the man agrees from the beginning and the daughter is unwilling to give up, this logic will be smoother.

In the face of right and wrong, the man should represent the positive, and the daughter will not be disgusted because she is too young to be sensible.

In addition, the members of the task force are not so distinctive as bad.

Si Tong didn't establish a relationship with the female players, so he called his wife by his first name. What is the difference between this and street hooligans?

The captain of the task force said in front of the man and his daughter, "If your father dies, you can follow me later." . This kind of behavior, I call it Excellence.

In order to save the world, everyone only brought basic equipment, and the fat man also brought a box of raw eggs with him. With more equipment, you can have more chances of success.

The time of online movies is much shorter than that of cinema movies. In the case of only more than 80 minutes, in order to increase the thickness of the characters, the director portrayed several characters from both advantages and disadvantages, but none of them were pleasing.

In contrast, it is better to strengthen the details of the characters. For example, when Stone chats with female players to give them peace and happiness, although female players always refuse, they still accept peace and happiness. Through this detail, the audience can feel that the female player is a disrespectful and honest person.

There are too many things mentioned above. In fact, "Restart the Earth" still has advantages, such as the setting of plant consciousness, the outstanding special effects in online universities, and the attempt of the creative team in science fiction films, which are all worthy of encouragement, but these advantages are not so prominent in the face of shortcomings.

I sincerely hope that domestic sci-fi films can work harder on scripts, whether it is "Mars Change" or "Restarting the Earth", this aspect is a serious injury, and it is also a place where netizens spit.
