The Chinese action/thriller/science fiction film "3D Man-Eater", released in 2014, tells the story of the future era, the huge demand for protein, leading the world into a period of rapid development of artificial proteins.
James, an avid foreign genetic scientist, is studying a "super insect" that provides a large amount of high-quality, low-cost nutritional protein.
However, the greedy and arrogant mind of human beings has led to the out-of-control reproduction of mother insects, countless insects breaking through the test tube to multiply indefinitely, and super insects devouring scientists and then evolving into giant monsters.
Countless man-eating insects bred by monsters sneak into the sea, and the high-protein insects swallowed by humans have set off a revenge war against human beings, and disaster is about to erupt.
On the other hand, the Haitian feast-like brand conference was held in full swing, and the type of male hot girl hunting carnival, extreme temptation and demonization were staged.
Hindsighted humans do not know that the vengeful man-eating insects are approaching them, and death is imminent. The incendiary breeding of man-eating insects and the engulfing expansion of insect swarms on the ocean floor finally triggered a huge tsunami.
The crowd that was still immersed in the temptation of the wine and hot girls in the last second was immediately bitten and devoured by the insect swarm, the meat forest of the wine pond turned into a blood sea corpse, and the revenge of the insect swarm swept through the entire sea, and the sea was a mess.
At the same time, several pairs of adventurous handsome men and women jump from the cruise ship to the experimental ship where the mother worm was born. The ultimate hunt of the worm boss and the humans began, on the other hand, the people who stepped on the ship of death also realized that if the man-eating insect monsters were not destroyed, the human race would face the catastrophe, and a bloody rain of human-insect warfare began....
The reputation of the thriller genre in China has been ruined by some low-cost rotten productions, although in the name of the first domestic 3D monster thriller, "3D Man-Eater" has not escaped this spell.
Many people say that "3D Man-Eater" fills the gap of domestic monster thrillers, but I would like to say that these people must not have studied the history of Chinese cinema properly, and they are not afraid of the "Avatar Ape" decades ago crawling out of the burned film pile to avenge you. Remember a promotional slogan in the film that said that this was a monster disaster blockbuster, and indeed, the film itself was a "disaster".
In general, if it wasn't for the Sekiya Magic, I probably wouldn't have had the opportunity to click on it in my lifetime.
The story of "3D Man-Eater" is like this, at the beginning of the movie, two foreigners are doing something in a lonely boat
In the experiment, the small insects raised were beyond the control of science, and successfully mutated into man-eating insects, which not only killed the two foreigners on the ship, but also cultivated a bunch of small shell langs that made people full of pimples.
In fact, the beginning of the film is still OK, simple digital technology makes scientists do the work is still decent, but unfortunately, as soon as the monsters come out, the overall visual effect immediately drops a grade, not fine enough production level, so that the densely packed little bugs look like maggots one by one, disgusting to the extreme, and finally it seems that the only horror in the whole film is that these worms that can scare the dense phobia patients are killed.
After using inferior techniques to show off the rapid reproduction of man-eating insects and their influx to human colonies, the film begins to depict the living colors of an island in another twenty minutes or so.
To be sure, the screen is full of white flower thighs and hot breasts, and the peripheral women of various sea and sky feasts wear three-point head scratching postures on the screen, and the director is also just right to give these female flesh close-ups, I don't know if it is really for the sake of a large number of otaku in front of the screen, or another attempt haha.
Supermodel Zhang Zilin is also a three-point style, showing the beautiful chest and dementia acting skills to the big screen together.
On this small island full of hormones, there are rich second generations, brain-dead women, photographer Di Si, and more
Obscene, boring thief, although the characters have increased, but there are no impressive roles, there is no big effect on the development of the plot, the only task is to die one by one, to create a sense of the process of the gradual arrival of man-eating insects.
Unfortunately, the actors' poor acting skills make it impossible for them to cope with the imagination and performance of these scenes, either too pompous or too funny, neither fear nor the slightest sense of violent pleasure created by ketchup aesthetics.
Although the director also knows that the monster movie should have a narrative rhythm from point to surface, and the small stream into the river and the sea, and there is also a small climax in the middle of the film to adjust the rhythm, but on the whole, the director is like a rich second generation indulging in the sea breeze, beautiful scenery, swimming pool, too much beauty, direct soundtrack, MV-style operation methods, so that the entire film's picture style looks very low-end, for example, you will wonder, why these man-eating insects have arrived at the place where the sea and sky feast, and it is not a big killing ring?
Why can these bugs be so gentle enough for the heroine to step on two feet without eating her?
And the more you get to the back of the film, the more puzzling the places are.
A bunch of idiots on the yacht had the audacity to go to a ship as eerie as a Pirates of the Caribbean ship in the distance to find a drink, don't tease the audience, who would believe that there is no wine on a luxury yacht that is going to be used to make a girl, and it is like a robot fighting monsters, going up one by one to find monsters to find death.
Especially the local brother played by Ding Chuncheng, obviously on the boat to see a non-humanoid monster in front of him, but you have to shout the name of an accomplice, do you really think that the dead fat man can be alienated? In the end, it was eaten by the monster in two bites, which was also the price of death.
The film naturally ends with the monster death human victory, which is nothing to say.
What makes people speechless is the way to deal with the ending, the heroine Xia Zitong can be said to have no acting skills to face the monster, as an Internet celebrity, she is not afraid of the behemoth, but like a female man, she picked up a chainsaw and waved it around, unconsciously adding chaos everywhere, and she is really not afraid of cutting off her boyfriend who is superior in height, such a female man is also enough.
Perhaps the director is trying to emphasize the role of women, but this mutation without a synopsis is really unacceptable to the audience. Also thanks to Xia Zitong's true color performance, what should have been a tense and solemn atmosphere of the human-beast showdown eventually became the home of the big-breasted and brainless women and the little monsters.
The most intolerable and surprising thing is that the monster has just been brainwashed, the audience heard a click on the screen, I leaned on, it turned out that Xia Zitong in the movie was taking pictures and tweeting.
Well, I really don't think of monsters as monsters, and I think they are my own Wang Xingren.
The reason behind so many lightning points is actually that the creators lack in-depth understanding of monster genre films, they think that as long as there are monsters, beautiful women, and screams, they make up a movie, but they don't see anything deeper about forming such a movie, such as reflection on science, and the infinity of human emotions and potential.
The reason why South Korea's "Monster of the Han River" is wonderful is also that the film truly depicts the emotions between the family and the ability to protect the family, which is what can really impress the audience.
Even if you want to learn the pure sensory thriller of "3D Man-Eater", you must be real and act in place. In contrast, this "3D Man-Eater", rough production, performance, not to mention the growth and epiphany of the characters, as well as critical thinking about science and desire, even if the emotional line of female model Zhang Zilin and her father is added, it is ultimately a lack of depiction of the characters and appears extremely pale.
