Movie Synopsis:
2020, a year not far ahead, the whole world has changed a lot. In that era, human boxing was no longer allowed, and instead various robots stepped into the ring to continue this fiery sport and delight the masses. Former boxer Charlie Kenton (Hugh Jackman) doesn't seem so lonely, quickly adapting to the times, taking trained robots to the ring again and again. But the misfortunes followed, first by an unexpected defeat and a lot of debt, then by the news that his ex-girlfriend was suddenly outdated, and he met his son, 11-year-old boy Max (Dakota Goyo), a 11-year-old boy.
An accident leads Max to encounter a sparring robot atom that has been eliminated. At Max's insistence, Charlie agrees to let Atom participate in the game, but accidentally finds that this "waste" is not only resistant to fighting, but also has the potential and talent to fight. The Kentons and their robots embark on a new journey...
body:
In terms of plot, this is a rotten movie, tacky to the point of outrageous.
Anyone who knows a little about Hollywood movies will find that every scene, sequence, and curtain in the plot is as simple and straightforward as written in a script textbook, and even a little too academic.
It is a standard American uncle, regaining dreams and family affection, and finally defeating the boss reunion story.
But cheesiness is not just a lack of it. At least for this film, although it is a standard main theme commercial film, that is, there is no novelty or highlights, but compared with the tragic ending of the plot fragmented for the so-called grand world view such as "Transformers 5", a simple and linear business story may be the best choice.
The main highlight of the film is robot fighting, which was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Vision.
It is different from the Pacific Rim to go to the sea at every turn, so that the audience can't see anything clearly in order to save costs. There are as many as 7 robots that appear in this game alone.
And there are five important fight scenes in the film, each lasting 2 to 10 minutes. And each big scene is a fight in the ring, and a large number of real boxers fight each other's motion capture technology is used during the fight, and a large number of cyborg models are remotely controlled, so that the violation of the whole film is minimized.
Now that I've talked about the pros, I'm going to talk about the cons of this film.
The biggest problem with this film is that The skin is avant-garde but the content is very cheesy.
As I said before, it is not a problem if the story is tacky, but its robot fighting part is very routine.
Simply put, the protagonist's aura is too serious. Its protagonist aura is a bit like those Hot-blooded anime protagonists of the Japanese, obviously set up as the bottom character, the blood bar is somehow particularly long, it is beaten tens of millions of times and can always be resurrected in full state; the enemy will always open a weak intelligence aura at the critical moment, giving the protagonist an opportunity to take advantage of a series of standards to use the rotten bridge section, appearing in large numbers throughout the film.
It is not that it is not possible to deal with it this way, but the same kind of plot has seen too much, and it is too standard, as the audience always looks at it, it is inevitable to feel a little bored.
Overall, this is a very good quality commercial film. The virtual and real pairing of the whole film feels very natural, and although the plot of the film is a bit dull, the performance effect of robot fighting is fascinating. The variety of robot forms, high-quality post-effects, and just the right music will make the audience addicted.
And the film celebrates some dreamers who have unique feelings about robot fighting.
As the background music "alexi murdoch - all my days" says, I would like to give it to all those who still cling to their dreams:
i have been searching all well of my days
I've been exploring life
all of my days
My life
i know i'll feel this loneliness no more
I knew I wouldn't feel lonely again
for i look around me
Because I looked around
and it seems he found me
He seemed to have found me
and it's coming into sight
It's all in sight
as the days keep turning into night
And so it goes day after day
and even breathing feels all right
Even breathing is so beautiful
yes even breathing feels all right
Yes, even breathing is so good
now even breathing feels all right
Even breathing is so good these days
it's even breathing
Yes, even breathing
feels all right
All so beautiful
