Synopsis:
In 1942, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and World War II were in a white-hot phase. The fire of the plains, the destruction of life, natural and man-made disasters, and mourning are everywhere. While the eyes of military and politicians are focused on the conquest and plunder of one city and one country, almost no one notices that a terrible drought is breaking out in the ancient Central Plains of Henan. The protagonist of the film, Lao Dongjia (played by Zhang Guoguo), is cunning, a city servant, and a typical feudal landlord, but even so, he cannot resist this unprecedented disaster, and he is forced to flee the wilderness and witness the death of his son, daughter-in-law, wife and other relatives. His encounter is the epitome of three million victims, and in the face of the suffering of this group of people, whether it is Chairman Jiang (Chen Daoming), or the American journalist Bai Xiude (Adrian Braudy Adrien Brody), who is deeply involved in the truth of the disaster, and how everyone at home and abroad can look at this scene of purgatory on earth. Desperate and endless escape, the suffering of the Chinese nation's unfortunate fate...
appraise:
As a commercial story film, "Nineteen Forty-Two" is structurally complete and full of plot. The film adaptation combines storytelling and documentary well, with clear priorities and orderliness. In terms of form, director Feng Xiaogang effectively uses the successful elements of past films, such as the reconstruction of humanity after natural disasters and the white-hot war scenes, as well as a little Feng-style humor infiltrating it. This is a warm film, this film is not pessimistic, but believes in the warmth of human nature, giving people the strength to move forward, mourning but not hurting.
"Nineteen Forty-Two" is a cruel story about "cannibalism", but director Feng Xiaogang simplifies a complex story. The film exposes a lot of emptiness, like abrupt priests and faith threads, and there is a sense of negativity that cannot be further explored

In order to save itself, humanity has proposed a bold plan called "Wandering Earth", that is, to devote global efforts to build tens of thousands of engines and steering engines on the surface of the earth, pushing the earth out of the solar system and running to another habitat in 2500 years. Chinese astronaut Liu Peiqiang (Wu Jing) traveled to the International Space Station when his son Liu Qi was four years old and shouldered the responsibility of navigator with his international peers. In the blink of an eye, Liu Qi (Qu Chuxiao) grew up, and he sneaked to the surface with his sister Duo Duo (Zhao Jinmai) to steal the transport car of his grandfather Han Ziang (Wu Mengda), only to be arrested, but also to encounter a global engine shutdown. In order to repair the engine and prevent the earth from falling into Jupiter, the world began to carry out saturation rescues, and even Liu Qi's car was forcibly recruited to join.

The core emotion of The Wandering Earth is family. This is the story of the Chinese people about family affection, heroes, the homeland, and the homeland. The emotional elements such as the Spring Festival and homecoming in the film fit the festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival schedule. At the same time, the film frames the story on a light-year scale and in the vast universe, and uses figurative films to express the local culture of romanticism and heroism such as "knowing that it cannot be done" and "although thousands of people are looking forward to it".

appraise:
Based on the novel "Aftershock", "Tangshan Earthquake" is also a model of film adaptation, the characters and stories basically remain the original appearance, and the main line is clearer, and the expression of emotions is also very decent. Most of the plot of the film adopts a two-line narrative, telling the lives of their families after they are separated, spanning 32 years, the region with Tangshan as the core extends to Baoding, Hangzhou, Vancouver, Wenchuan, Xu Fan and Zhang Jingchu respectively play the mother and daughter in the precision drama space echoing each other, colliding with many sparks in the air, detonating the "tear gas bomb" for the final mother-daughter meeting. The value and technology are reflected in the expression of feelings for the background of special eras, and the delicate analysis of family ethics and character emotions. Not only the catastrophe of 23 seconds, but the scars left in people's hearts for 32 years, although it is only a story, it is more worth the audience to savor for a long time

The storm is still sweeping, and the alarm has not yet been lifted.
Global Storm is a sci-fi disaster film produced by Warner Bros. Pictures and directed by Dean Devlin, co-starring Gerald Butler, Jim Sturges, Abby Cornish, Alexandra Maria Lana, Yanzu Wu, Aikhnio De Bourz, Ed Harris, and Andy Garcia.
The film tells the story of a global meteorological disaster that will occur in the future. Humans have developed meteorological satellite networks to control severe weather, but satellites controlled by computer viruses have become lethal attackers, and an unprecedented catastrophe has swept the world.
After a series of unprecedented natural disasters hit the earth, humanity decided to work together to create a sophisticated network of artificial satellites to control the earth's climate and ensure human safety. However, the system that was supposed to defend the earth went wrong and began to attack the earth, and disaster scenes such as the Hong Kong subsidence, the Tokyo hailstorm, the bombay tornado, the Brazilian ice, and the Dubai tsunami appeared one by one, and the catastrophe swept the world. Scientists Jack Rosen (Gerald Butler) and Max Rosen (Jim Sturges) are two brothers, who are challenged in space and on the ground, respectively, and embark on a thrilling road to salvation.
Global Storm is qualified in terms of showmanship. But in terms of the story, it is inevitable to fall into the hollywood hero's routine of saving the world, behind the natural disaster is a huge political conspiracy, the weather satellite has been transformed into a deadly weapon by the black hand behind the scenes, and the White House official Max Rosen has taken the risk in order to stop the disaster, and the beautiful agent "kidnapped" the president, of course, this behind-the-scenes black hand must not be the president, but someone else. In addition to the routine plot, the film is quite careful in constructing the details of the story, which somewhat masks the boredom of the routine plot and makes the story look more smooth.

Facing the endless sea, what do you think when a tsunami with a wave height of tens of meters approaches you at an alarming speed?
Haeundae is a South Korean disaster film written and directed by Yoon Ji-kyun and starring Seo Kyung-joo, Ha Ji-won, Park Chung-hoon, Yan Jeong-hwa, Lee Min-ki, and Kang Yeon.
The film revolves around Haeundae, a tourist resort in Busan, South Korea, where a sudden tsunami ruthlessly destroys everyone's happiness. The film was released in South Korea on July 23, 2009, and in 33 days, the number of viewers reached 10,075,766, becoming the fifth work in the history of Korean cinema to exceed 10 million box office hits.
The story takes place in Haeundae, Busan, South Korea, in the 2004 Indonesian tsunami, due to the mistake of captain Wan Zhi (Xue Jingqiu) led to the death of Yeon Hee (Ha Ji Won) father, he has a deep remorse in his heart, and takes care of the neighbor sister meticulously, and slowly the two secretly fall in love. However, Wan Zhi's middle school classmate Wu Dongchun (Kim In-kwon) is not optimistic about the pair of mandarin ducks. Wan Zhi's younger brother Heung Sik (Lee Min Ki) is a lifeguard at sea, and during an operation, he meets the rich lady Kim Hee-mi (Jiang Yiyuan), and the two have caused a lot of misunderstandings in their yin and yang interactions.
Virgin (Yan Jeong-hwa) promotes Haeundae as an ambassador for the Expo's tourist destinations, and she has a daughter with her ex-husband, Geologist Kim Hui (Park Chung-hoon), an expert in geology at the International Ocean Research Institute, but she has now found another lover. Dr. Kim was very distressed about this, and he found that the geology of the East China Sea on The Island of Malaysia and Haeundae was the same as the Indonesian tsunami of 2004, a rare huge tsunami that was approaching Haeundae, but the Disaster Defense Agency did not agree with this...
Although the special effects maturity of Korean films cannot be compared with Hollywood, it is fortunate that director Yin Jijun has cleverly adopted the method of promoting strengths and avoiding weaknesses, that is, the large scenes are fully used landscape visual effects performance, and the live-action plot takes place in a smaller pattern, covering up the weakness of technology when the combination of real people and visual effects. So we see that the scenes of the waves hitting the high-rise buildings of the city are all presented by long-range models, the people running and running for their lives on the beach are mostly in the background of the waves coming to the future, and the scenes of real humans being caught up in the waves are very few. The biggest ink point lies in the sea-filled streets and alleys and flooded hotel buildings, these small patterns undoubtedly reduce the difficulty of visual effects, but bring out the feeling of disaster. The most exaggerated is the bridge where the East China Sea is located, which is still intact and seriously distorted after the wave attack.

With volcanic eruptions, powerful earthquakes, and tsunamis, Jackson led his family in a temporary rented plane to storm the city over the city, instantly shrouded in the haze of death, and began to search for what Charlie said was the ark that governments were secretly building together. At the stake, some great ghosts will stand out, while some selfish minds will be invisible, and when thousands of beings come to the Ark's manufacturing base by various means, the Ark's limited capacity will cause unprecedented panic. In the end, the only people left survived with mutual love and respect for life.
In this film, according to the mayan prophecies, the prophecies magically become a reality. In December 2012, with the sudden onset of extremely anomalous climate change across the planet, plunging the world into never-ending darkness and inundating the planet with monstrous floods, Jackson, like many families, embarked on a path to survival. Faced with a global natural disaster, he suddenly remembered the ark and map that Charlie had mentioned, and decided to go to the Ark base to find a chance to survive. In the process of finding and traveling to the Ark base, the Jackson family experienced a life-and-death test. Eventually they reached the Ark base. However, the number of arks that have been built is far from enough to meet the victims who have heard about the disaster from all over the world. Who goes and who stays has become a moral choice that challenges the entire human race. In the face of disaster, human beings from different countries have made the most important choice: "All people are equal, and they have an equal chance of survival!" "In the end, people finally survived this global disaster in the Ark and gained hope of continuing to reproduce and develop. In this film, I noticed that most of the world's rich people who boarded the ship, the presidents of various countries, the presidents, and so on, were the elite of the elites in various circles. Suddenly I was in the middle of nowhere, if I was in that chaotic world at the time, where would I go? I'm afraid I don't even have the qualifications to board the ship, so why are all the presidents, the presidents, on board? We ordinary people did not even know about such a major matter as the construction of the ark, let alone have the qualifications to board the ship. When the real disaster comes, when the president and his people are facing difficulties at the same time, the world will not hesitate to choose to let the president survive, and the president will lead more people to survive. And we only care about our own property and personal life, and it turns out that the president is much better than us. This movie makes me more inspirational, makes me study harder, and makes me more eager to become a useful person to society. Otherwise, when the real disaster comes, you won't even be eligible to survive!

The first disaster blockbuster as a child.
Tornado is a film directed by Jane de Bonter and starring Helen Hunt, Bill Paxton, and Gary Elvis. The film tells the story of Joe and Bill chasing the wind together and the love story. It was released in the United States on May 10, 1996.
The ferocity and mystery of the tornado have attracted a large number of scientists to study in depth, and going deep into the middle of the storm is the most dangerous behavior, but it is also the most effective way to explore the tornado. Joe (Helen Hunt) and her divorced husband Bill Paxton are these kinds of "dancing with dragons" scientists, even though their relationship has broken down and Bill has found a new lover, but out of obsession with tornado research, they decide to chase a hurricane in Oklahoma together and put the newly developed successful detector "Dorothy" in the tornado center to collect data.
They drove dilapidated vans and led the wind chasers to the most dangerous places. Meanwhile, another team of well-equipped centaurs headed in this direction, led by Jona (Gary Elvis Cary Elwes), who fought Joe fiercely in the wind chasing operation.
With like-minded Joe on the one hand and a new girlfriend who is afraid of a thrilling life, how does Bill re-choose his emotional path in the process of chasing the wind? More importantly, in the face of a formidable opponent and a tornado buried in it at any time, Joe and Bill realize their dream of chasing the wind
The film reflects the threat of the terrifying forces of nature to human society, making it have a high-intensity shock and frightening effect, which is undoubtedly more likely to bring box office revenue. The flying car animals in the film and the broken wood debris under the rain make people feel the strong willpower of human beings to fight against nature; what is more attractive is that this time human beings are no longer fighting against the special effects of the magic movie, but the tornado that will really take people's lives. People are naturally adventurous, chasing things that seem out of reach or dangerous, and maybe those are dreams. Bill and Joe are a little more offbeat that they chase the wind, not chasing the meaning of popularity, but actually chasing tornadoes. There is no advanced equipment to invent, and the desire to quit the dangerous life is not as comfortable as the crazy chase, there is courage, courage, brains, a group of trustworthy companions is enough to master the tornado, it seems that nature is not so difficult to control. As the first disaster film produced by computer in 1995, "Tornado" shocked the audience with its large stunt scenes and strong acoustics, and became one of the highest-grossing movies of the year.

It's a terrible movie, and this is a real movie.
The Day After Tomorrow is a science fiction film produced by 20th Century Fox, directed by Roland Emmerich and starring Dennis Quaid, Jack Gyllenhaal, Amy Rosen, sarah Ward, and others. The film was released in the United States on May 28, 2004.
The film mainly tells the story of the climate change caused by the greenhouse effect and the world is about to fall into the second ice age. The story of the melting of icebergs in the Northern Hemisphere due to the greenhouse effect, the earth entering the second ice age, tornadoes, tsunamis, earthquakes raging around the world, and the whole of New York falling into the siege of ice rivers.
American climatologist Jack (Dennis Quaid) believes that the greenhouse effect is causing a catastrophe on earth, and the melting of Arctic glaciers will bring the earth back to the catastrophe of the ice age. His reminder didn't get the attention of the U.S. authorities, and it was too late: hurricanes, hail, floods, melting icebergs, extreme cold, a series of earth upheavals that triggered an irreparable catastrophe. The U.S. government organized the movement of people at 30 degrees north latitude around the equator, and the scene was chaotic. To make matters worse, Jack's son is trapped in a Manhattan library, burning books to keep his temperature on fire. How can we escape this catastrophe? When will the icy earth warm up?
The catastrophe of human beings' destruction of the natural environment is the cautionary reflection of the Hollywood disaster movie "The Day After Tomorrow", and the shocking visual effects give the film a very realistic look, the catastrophe brought by the fury of nature, when the hurricane sweeps in: when the tsunami comes, when the cold of the ice and snow no longer gives people any breathing, despair seems to condense the audience into ice, but the other side of the film is filled with the emotion of love and affection, like a ray of redemption, warming the heart, the film does not use absolute despair to shape the sadness, And still believe that human beings can one day live in harmony with nature.

A disaster film with a very delicate production and a very tight plot, the special effects are also good.
Directed by Jon Amir, written by Cooper Lane and John Rogers, and starring Alan Eckhart, Hillary Swank, and Bruce Greenwood, the sci-fi disaster film was released in China on July 2, 2003.
The film tells the story of people with very different backgrounds and personalities who overcome difficulties and work together to finally complete the mission of saving the earth and humanity.
One day, strange phenomena occurred all over the world: the sudden death of a patient with a pacemaker, the disorientation of pigeons, the rupture of the Golden Gate Bridge, the attack of the Roman Colosseum by dense lightning... For a time, humanity fell into an unprecedented panic, as if the terrible end of the world was just around the corner. Governments and militaries mobilized urgently to find the cause of this series of disasters.
At this critical moment, geophysicist Josh Keys (Alan Eckhart Aaron Eckhart) discovers the truth, and the original core of the Earth stopped rotating for some unknown reason, causing the magnetic field to disappear. In order to save people and the planet, Josh and experts such as Rebecca Zidd (Hilary Swank) and Robert Ivison (Bruce Greenwood) form a rescue team and travel to the center of the earth to carry out a difficult and dangerous rescue mission. The fate of mankind hangs in the balance...
After watching the science fiction film of the American "ascension to heaven" theme, this time it is finally "into the ground", and it is still the most core, and it is the most thorough at once.
I remember the conversation at the beginning, where the general said we can't even go up in space. The PhD professor replied that space was empty above. Haha, one sentence to the general's words back.
The terrible unknown underground, made by film producers and computer producers..., this is the bottom? Just rely on the machine produced in these three months to withstand "bursting temperature" into the "region"? It felt like I was fooled by the director.
The computer master named "Mouse" was not used to this person at first, the sharp-billed monkey gills, and he looked strange. The more you look at it, the more pleasing it is, and the more you act, the more cute it is.
