"Promea" is an animated blockbuster produced by VIGOR and directed by Yoko Imaishi, which was released in 2019, and last year I also wrote a simple film review of this work, and this year, it will have the opportunity to be released in the mainland on June 5. I think friends who like sci-fi animation can expect a wave.
"Promea" is a style of American cartoon style animation, the picture style does not look so "Japanese", and interspersed with a lot of CG, the color is a more unique choice, the picture is a strong sense of science fiction, the sense of flatness is a strong sense of character, and the combination of CG brings a unique visual impact.
"Promea" is a whimsical action film, it maintains the style of the past GAINAX, each shot is carefully designed, the action part is flowing, the picture expression is outstanding, with the music of Hiroyuki Sawano, the look and feel can be described as quite shocking.
Trigger Society Imashi Hiroyuki director before the "Cut Girl" a work, the same style of action works, the fight performance is a lively, and "Promea" not only inherits the advantages of the action scene of "Cut the Girl", relying on the large production of the theater version, the unique beauty of the picture is played to a new high. However, this style, with the rich taste of GAINAX, I personally think that I like it very much, and what I don't like is not easy to accept, it is not a style that attracts the public, nor is it fresh and beautiful, but a combination of simple geometric figures, coupled with the ultimate line beauty.
Relatively speaking, the story of "Promea" should be simple and easy to understand, there is no overly complex character relationship, the logic is also a line, it is easier to understand, and even some American hero comics have the feeling.
This work in the domestic Douban currently rated 8.0 points, in Japan won 1.5 billion yen box office, proved that it is a fairly successful animation blockbuster, the domestic set for June 5 release, I personally think it will be a relatively niche animation work, but the promotion, the use of Sakai Masato and other Japanese artists to participate, how much will add points for the promotion of the work, not surprisingly the author will also go to the cinema to observe it, after all, this kind of work, there is a bonus to the cinema equipment, the perception will still be more shocking than their own small screen in front of the look.
My personal evaluation is 8.5 points/10, casually mentioned, this work is normal in scale, there is no bloody fight, there is no sensitive content, it is reasonable to say that it should be the original and uncut introduction, worth recommending.
