Before watching "20 12", I was very much looking forward to the special effects of the disaster drama, and I was also worried about the plot part of the film. After all, this is the longest disaster movie in roland emmerich, which lasts for 2 hours and 40 minutes. If there is a slight mistake in this part, the film will become protracted (this worry has also caused misunderstanding among some bean friends); Looking at the complete film, the situation is just the opposite. If you, like me, have seen several official trailers of "20 12" and a 5-minute clip of "Los Angeles Collapse", don't expect too many special effects. Although it is shocking to ensure that your blood will swell, because almost all the essence is already in these trailers and clips, I have been looking forward to more scenes that I didn't see in advance except the last "Noah's Ark Sailing Scene". Of course, if you haven't seen the trailer of 20 12 or the 5-minute clip, be prepared to accept the double shock of special effects and sound effects. 20 12 will never let you down.
Because there was almost no expectation for the plot before, the 20 12 shoddy script actually "saved" those special effects scenes and disaster scenes that didn't make me addicted. The two main lines of the film go hand in hand: a huge secret conspiracy jointly organized by governments of various countries+the escape of the protagonist's family. Although the whole story is still a cliche, there are still countless bugs in Hollywood, but at least it is not low in entertainment, not as boring as "Ten Thousand Years of Prehistory". 160 minutes didn't make me feel tired, mixed with humorous fragments and countless sensational scenes. The tense plot that happened on the ship in the second half also made up for the temporary shortage of special effects. In general,
So in the end, I gave a "recommendation" of four stars, the Los Angeles scene+the overall level of the whole film special effects+the passable plot, as the absolute value of the entertainment blockbuster.
Then talk about the elements of China in the film. Almost all the places where Chinese dubbing appears are pure "Mandarin", which is really a big surprise in American film and television works. Although China didn't completely "save the world in China" as advertised by the media, it did make great contributions to cheap labor ... Until the end of the world, Noah's Ark was made in China ... The last Noah's Ark also set sail in Tibet, China. But the image of China People's Liberation Army in the film still comes from stereotypes. In addition, some media reported the Wenchuan earthquake propaganda "20 12", saying that the China element in the film is based on the Wenchuan earthquake, which is simply nonsense.
Roland emmerich, the "human terminator", seems to really want to end the genre of "disaster films". 1996 after independence day, who can find a bigger alien spacecraft to completely destroy the world's major cities? 1998 after Godzilla, who can find a bigger monster to destroy new york more brazenly? After "The Day After Tomorrow" in 2004, who will use the name of environmental protection to make global warming worse in three weeks and almost exterminate all mankind? And "20 12" is the ultimate interpretation of disaster to some extent, whether it is a shipwreck drama paying tribute to Poseidon or a thrilling earthquake, volcanic eruption and tsunami ... "20 12" is almost "all-inclusive". In the face of disasters, roland emmerich also talked about the future of human misery, the heroism of individual heroism and the darkness and brilliance of human nature. Hollywood disaster movies may not end there, but it is difficult to innovate again.
