《天机:富春山居图》8度空间首映



老外有句谚语,’when you've nothing good to say say nothing at all’,意思大概是让人不要说他人的坏话,照这种说法,天机首映能说的可能很少.. XD Anyway日前有幸受8度空间邀约出席了刘德华,林志玲与张静初在GSC Pavilion所举行的天机:富春山居图首映礼,那么对于天机首映我想说的是,感恩感恩啊能得到首映入场卷,首映礼很热闹啊,好多本地艺人都出席啦,GSC Pavilion很漂亮啦,场地感觉很不错啦.. .. ..大概就这样吧 ,我说完啦。-.-


好好好对于想开骂的朋友们请按耐住你们的怒火稍安勿躁,我开玩笑的..那么先来说说剧情吧:
中国十大名画之一的元代《富春山居图》合璧展在即,众多大盗闻风而动。国际特工肖锦汉、人保高管林雨嫣、神秘女郎丽莎等人都卷入其中。电影以中国特工同日本黑帮以及英国大盗三方之间为了保护和争抢辗转流失、历经磨难的中国元代传世之作《富春山居图》而发生的夺宝故事为主轴而展开..

简单来说这是一部中式邦德电影与不可能的任务之综合体,只可惜在技术的不成熟与剧本铺成不佳的情况下显得差强人意。影片走的是好莱坞商业动作片结构,集结了包含爱情、冒险、谍战、动作等诸多元素,拍摄地跨越杭州、台北、东京、米兰、迪拜等地。片中疾跑、飙车、击剑、漂移、跳车、武打等。由于前期超强的造势宣传及刘德华林志玲佟大为张静初的号召力,天机在中国大陆上映两日票房便轻易突破亿元大关,但与该片高票房相悖的却是该影片的高差评,过于廉价的特效让影片有种失真的感觉(以好莱坞顶级制作团队进行后期制作为卖点似乎更流于噱头),而偏重於艺术性的运镜及陈述故事的方式也让人不禁觉得新人导演孙健君还有非常大的进步空间..或许该片唯一可取的便是其极尽奢华与感官的取景吧,至少在影片里迪拜的地标哈里發塔、卓美亚帆船酒店、亚特兰蒂斯,中国杭州江南烟雨西湖美景的魅力、华丽耀眼的杭州国际酒店,台北故宫博物院等所呈现的视觉效果非常的好。当然志玲姐姐依然亮丽动人,而刘天王的演技还是非常棒的,只可惜缺乏流畅度的电影剪接及不够完善的剧本,让天王成了被压在五指山下的孙悟空,纵有七十二变百般本领,却只能徒留一声叹息.. T.T

总的来说作为中国电影人对抗好莱坞大片铺天盖地侵袭本地市场的努力,《天机:富春山居图》是一个大胆的尝试,虽然贬多于褒,但国父革命尚且十一次才成功,所以加油呗..
Thnx to 8TV MY for the tics :)

After Earth movie review: Nuffnang Premiere Screening



300 years from now, global warming reaches the breaking point, Earth becomes a burning dead land which took out 90% of life on it, those that survive struggle to stay alive. Though life are deteriorating, the technology continue to advance exponentially, with the aid of new powerful life form (artificial combination of human DNA with intelligent machines), after 700 years of enormous effort, Earth-recon, a plan to save both our homeland & mankind has finally succeeded. 1000 years from now, new heavens and a new Earth rise.. One that nature, humans and technologies are at harmonise.. Eternal life, star ships travel, energy harvesting from space, time travel & teleportation, civilise & unite people, that’s Earth, in the 30th century.

That is what I think Earth would be like in the next millennium, however such perfection does not exist.. and here’s what really happened.. After Earth..



In the near future, an environmental cataclysm forces the human race to abandon Earth and venture beyond the Solar System in search of a new home. The exodus ends when humanity settles a new pristine world they call Nova Prime. On a journey accompanies his father Cypher Raige (Will Smith) on a mission to Ethos, Kitai Raige (Jaden Smith) become the only two survivors after their spaceship were badly damage by a gravitational storm & crash landed on Earth, a stranded & unfamiliar class 1 quarantined planet which now rules by evolved and vicious wildlife strictly to kill humans.. Could they survive?..


Science fiction is always a favourite subject of movies and the idea of human forcing to abandon Earth, leaving only wild life & nature is most likely to happen judging by the way this species brutally ravening the planet’s resources.. Unfortunately in the case of After Earth, the nice idea isn’t properly convey through the screen as the story line is simple & there is a major lack of tension. Also part of the plot doesn’t really explain itself nicely, or should I use the word ‘logically’.. An extremely fatal mission turnout to be a successful quest due to pure luck & present of friendly giant eagle on a planet full of atrocious wildlife evolved to kill human, that doesn’t sounds convincing to me.. Besides, on a planet which temperature fluctuate from 0-25 °C, I wonder how do the tropical rain forests flora flourish..


Ok maybe I’m a bit harsh on the movie, after all Will Smith is one of my favourite star. Well there are still something to recommend it in After Earth. The visual effect is nice, details are good, distinct ecosystem on both planets, adventure sequences are well-paced occasionally and acting of Jaden (Simth Jr.) is pretty good actually, not outstanding but not bad at all for a 14 year old. This would have been a better movie if not for its weak storyline and dragging plot.   
Thanx to Nuffnang for the tics :)
