On the afternoon of August 27, the movie "Mars Mutation" was released on the iQiyi Network Movie Channel. The film is starring Shi Liang, Ren Zhong and other actors, telling the story of the Martian Rescue. The film belongs to the typical science fiction theme, in the network movie, this kind of theme is rare, and even can be said to be rare. Even, can small-cost online movies shoot science fiction themes? Mars Mutant clearly gives a positive answer.
First, let's talk about some of the scenes in the film. In the film, there is a lot of content showing the starry sky, especially the display of the Chinese spaceship Wanhu, which does not lose some science fiction blockbusters. The Wanhu soars in the vast cosmic starry sky, which really gives fans a sense of sci-fi blockbuster vision. Subsequently, in the process of Mars rescue, the display of Mars rovers, Mars bases, etc., also has a very good texture, which can make fans compare with previous science fiction blockbusters. Obviously, in terms of set design, "Mars Mutation" is superior within its own cost range.
Let's talk about the story. "Mars Mutation" is a typical Martian rescue drama. The time of the film is set in the future. China has already started a landing program on Mars, and has been studying the planet Europa for many years, and it is about to enter a substantive stage. At this time, international space scientists who have established bases on Mars have encountered accidents. The first accident was that Mars was hit by a large number of asteroids, and the Martian base was in danger.
The second accident was that when the scientists of the international base fled in the spaceship, they actually appeared in the sky over Mars and hit the spacecraft, causing the base scientists' spacecraft to crash. In the face of such a crisis, the Martian base is in urgent need of rescue. The rescue forces of various countries are far from Mars, and the nearest one will take four months to arrive. Therefore, this international rescue mission fell on China's Wanhu spacecraft. Then, the Chinese astronauts on the spacecraft began a rescue operation.
In the rescue operation of the Mars base, there were also many accidents. First of all, it was the content of the base, and there was a mutated chameleon that began to attack the astronauts. After investigation, it was finally found that this mutated chameleon and the large whale that attacked the spaceship in tianlong were all committed by scientists of a certain country - in order to study genetic mutations, let humans mutate and adapt to the Martian environment, he did not hesitate to violate scientific ethics and carried out dangerous operations, resulting in a catastrophe.
In the state of the chameleon, after the large whale, Mars will be hit by a small operation again in two hours. Therefore, the rescuers need to solve the problem of chameleons on the ground of Mars and the problem of giant whales over Mars after two hours. An important highlight of the movie "Mars Mutation" is also how the astronauts deal with these two mutant freaks. In the end, the film is the result that fans expect, but in the end, there are still personnel sacrifices.
Such a story content, in the process of The Martian Rescue, is not ambiguous, nor is there a place to fool fans. Basically all the plot sections can be justified. In the past online movies, the biggest hard wound often appeared in the script narrative, this time, in "Mars Change", the narrative is stable, the story is reasonable, and fans can see the creator's respect for the theme and content itself.
Let's talk about the core emotion of this movie. A Martian story is prone to a state of rescue story without too many character emotions. In this "Mars Mutation", the script creation level is very academic, and it can express the personal feelings of the astronauts while focusing on the rescue story. Especially in the last part of the film, the captain lets the team members go first, and he sacrifices himself heroically. In the finale, the content of father-son love is also a very good emotional rendering. Therefore, the whole film has a very good emotional point of view, and some emotional bridges can also infect fans.
Finally, let's talk about the monster content in the film. "Mars Mutation" is actually a genre of science fiction and monsters. Pure science fiction movies, in the online film market, lack of precedents for box office success. The monster genre is a hit in online movies. Many monster-themed online movies have even achieved a single box office score of more than 50 million yuan. This "Mars Mutation" effectively combines science fiction and monster themes, which can undoubtedly attract the interest of fans of both genres and escort their own box office accounts.
Because it is the first day of release, the box office data of "Mars Change" has not yet come out. As the "first" science fiction film among online movies (if not, I hope you will inform the precedent), whether it can achieve box office success is obviously a matter of concern. For this film, it can present a science fiction theme content at the cost of an online movie, and some scenes are not lost to some large-scale science fiction films, which is its biggest highlight.
