Before watching Farewell Atlantis, I was looking forward to the special effects scene of the disaster drama, and I was worried about the plot part of the movie. After all, it was the longest one of Roland Emmerich's disaster films with a total length of 2 hours and 40 minutes. If there was a slight difference in this part, the movie would become protracted and lengthy (this worry also caused some misunderstandings of bean friends); After watching the whole film, the situation is just the opposite. If, like me, you have seen several official trailers in Farewell Atlantis and the 5-minute "Los Angeles Collapse" clip, then don't look forward to the special effects part too much, although it is still shocking to ensure that you can see the blood swell, but 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. As a result, besides the last "Noah's Ark Sailing Show", I felt a bright surprise, and then, Of course, if you have never seen the 2012 trailer or the 5-minute clip, then be prepared to accept the double shock of special effects and sound effects. 2012 will never let you down.

Because there was almost no expectation for the plot before, the crudely produced script in 2012 actually "saved" the special effects scenes and disaster scenes that didn't make me addicted. The whole film goes hand in hand with two main lines: the huge secret conspiracy of the governments of various countries+the hero's family fleeing. Although the whole story is still stereotyped, there are still countless Hollywood bugs, but at least the entertainment is not low and it will not be as boring as "Ten Thousand Years of Prehistory". The 160 minutes did not make me feel tired, mixed with humorous fragments and countless sensational bridges. The tense story on the boat in the second half also made up for the temporary lack of special effects. Generally speaking, Farewell Atlantis's story is far from being counted.

Therefore, I finally gave the "recommended" four stars, the Los Angeles collapse paragraph+the overall level of special effects of the whole film+the passable story, which is definitely worth the fare as an entertainment blockbuster.

Then talk about the Chinese elements in the film. Almost all the places where Chinese dubbing appears are pure "Putonghua", which is really a big surprise in American film and television works. In the film, although China did not completely "save the world" like the previous media propaganda, China did make a great contribution to cheap labor ... Until the end of the world, Noah's Ark was still MADE IN CHINA ... The last Noah's Ark also set sail in Tibet, China. However, the image of the Chinese People's Liberation Army in the film still comes from stereotypes. In addition, some media used to publicize the Wenchuan earthquake for Farewell Atlantis, saying that the Chinese elements in the film were derived from the Wenchuan earthquake, which is simply nonsense.

Roland Emmerich, the "terminator of mankind", really seems to want to end the type of "disaster film". After Independence Day in 1996, who can find a bigger alien spacecraft to destroy the world's major cities more thoroughly? After Godzilla in 1998, who can find a bigger monster to let it destroy new york more wantonly? After "The Day After Tomorrow" in 2004, who will let global warming worsen in three weeks or so in the name of environmental protection and almost destroy all mankind? And Farewell Atlantis deduced the disaster to a certain extent to the extreme, whether it's the shipwreck drama paying tribute to Poseidon, or the thrilling earthquake, volcanic eruption, tsunami ... Farewell Atlantis has almost everything. In the face of disaster, Roland Emmerich said that human where will you go's bitterness, individual heroism, and humanity's darkness and brilliance were all rotten. Hollywood disaster films may not end here, but it is very difficult to innovate again.

On December 21st, 2012, the world was destroyed, which was always controversial. The film Farewell Atlantis not only shows us how the world was destroyed in 2012, but also is a guide for everyone to escape from the end of the world. So believe it or not, try to meet the standards one by one in the next three years, just in case.

1. Learn to drive. Of course, you should not only drive in your community or go to work or leave work, but also drive cars, sports cars and even broken trailers as off-road coasters like the leading actor in Farewell Atlantis. Please be sure to learn this skill. If you can't achieve the goal, you can quickly win over people who can drive fast cars.

2. Learn to fly all kinds of planes. But you don't need to be too "professional", just learn a little like the stepfather in the film. The more aircraft types you can have, the better. If you fail to meet the requirements, please curry favor with your acquaintances who can fly airplanes.

3. In the next three years, please pay attention to the weird radio stations on the radio. If you mention the government conspiracy and the end of the world, you need to contact the announcer quickly. Even if he is in the wilderness and deep in the forest, he will find him, and he may get unexpected clues.

4. Of course, you can get to know a geologist, astronomer and other scientists as soon as possible. If the relationship is good enough, maybe you can get first-hand data and information from him.

5. Try to learn many languages, so as to communicate when asking for help, especially Tibetan.

6. Improve your popularity through various channels, just like the actor and part-time writer in the film, you may be recognized by your FANS to save your life at a critical juncture.

7. Buy a good mobile phone. Although it often doesn't receive a signal at ordinary times, it will bring you great surprises at the last moment of the end of the world: even if the whole world is almost destroyed, you may still use your mobile phone to dial a friend's phone from far away or across the ocean and then come to a tearful confession by where will you go. For example, in the film, a geologist received a dying phone call from a friend from India on the snowy mountain in Tibet.

8. When life and death are at stake, no one but family members and Tibetans can be trusted. If you can, make a Tibetan friend as soon as possible. It is better to be a skilled worker.

9. Don't stay at sea if you have nothing to do; Move away from island countries, coastal cities, earthquake fault zones and volcanic areas as soon as possible; Go to the Himalayas if you have nothing to do. It is possible that you can survive without having to escape.

10. Exercise. Be able to cope with the freezing environment, with good water quality. Run more, it is best to catch up with the taking-off plane.

11. If the ground sinks, smoke and firelight chase you behind you, or the car and plane you drive are facing obstacles that may be insurmountable, please believe in yourself, bite your teeth, close your eyes and push forward hard, and you will successfully resolve the crisis.

12. If there is a job for building things in the Himalayas, try your best to get this job.

Of course, all the above are the premise of "you can't get on Noah's Ark". If you want to get the tickets for Noah's Ark directly,

1, know a national government official, become their husband and wife, best friend, and even become them.

2. Meet one of the richest people in China, become their husband, wife, best friend and even become them.
