212 Praise the Storm

Among the sixteen comments that were approved by the "day acquired", six negative reviews reached six, while positive reviews occupied ten positions. The advantage was not obvious, but they were more clearly reflected in the scores. `With a red negative review, the media comprehensive review reached 64 points, not only surpassing the passing line, but also far surpassing the same type of works.

By making a simple horizontal comparison, you can understand where the "acquired" media comprehensive evaluation is: "Perfect Heavenly Tribulation" is forty-two points, "Sun" is fifty-nine points, and "Great Collision of Heaven and Earth" is forty-twenty points. And the "perfect storm" that won a good reputation at the beginning of the century and achieved some box office results, the media comprehensive evaluation is fifty-nine points.

In fact, among the disaster movies over the past decade, except for the 74 points of "Titanic", no media review of the same type of movie can pass the 60-digit pass line.

Now, after "the day after tomorrow", after 2oo4 years of proud opening, it also became the second work of the media comprehensive review that broke through the 60-tenth shackles with a score of 64 points in ten years, following the "Titanic".

Just this detail shows the powerful momentum after the release of "The Day After" and the criticism is also a storm of praise. The praise of "variety shows" has truly formed a group advantage and formed a confrontation with opponents of "Hollywood Reporter".

Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun gave an 80-point evaluation without hesitation, but compared to this score, the full score of four stars shows the attitude of the authoritative film critic. "Yes, this is a very childish movie. But to my surprise, it is also a very terrifying and terrifying work. In such a practical work, the wonderful visual effects make people feel immersive and empathetic."

In addition, Roger also gave a unique evaluation of Lance's second work. "Lancelot gave this work a sentimental temperament - although it is not very obvious, he injected his unique black humor and unique value orientation into the details and lines dialogues. This is undoubtedly a very interesting attempt. Of course. This is not Lance's best work, but it is enough to keep us paying attention to him."

The film critic Joshua Roscoff of the New York Times also gave his own point of view at the first time, which corresponds to the public opinion trend leading the West Bank of the Los Angeles Times. The New York Times is undoubtedly the top spot on the East Coast of the United States. Strictly speaking, the New York Times has an unparalleled influence on the entire United States. However, in terms of entertainment, the Los Angeles Times has the advantage of landlords, so it can compete with the New York Times in professional evaluations such as movies and music.

This time, Joshua stood on the Los Angeles Times again, since it was different opposites, "this is undoubtedly a magnificent and soul-stirring epic masterpiece. The film shows the mutual influence of reality and the future through realistic and shocking visual effects.

Within two minutes of the movie's opening, the adrenaline was detonated, bringing the dangerous fear message to every audience, and always maintaining that tight and rapid fear and shock, which lasted until the end of the movie. I thought I had seen a similar movie, but, I didn't; I thought the second half of the movie would be disappointing. But, neither did I."

Joshua and Roger obviously had similar views on the heroes. In addition to the same 80-year-old evaluation, he also expressed his own views on Lance.

"The most important part of a commercial film is two points. One is the rhythm, which always attracts the audience's attention; the other is the high/climax, which makes the plot burst out with adrenaline brew and promote. At these two points, Lancelot showed high skills, not at all like a newcomer who only filmed the second work."

Similarly, Joshua also gave a four-star full score recommendation for "the day after tomorrow". His position clearly expressed his support for this work.

The Wall Street Journal gave seventy-five points. They commented that, "The day after tomorrow is obviously more entertaining than the 'City of God'. The panic, thrilling, sinister and touching throughout the whole world have almost no disappointing moments. Using such a work to open the curtain of this summer season will undoubtedly raise everyone's expectations."

The evaluation of "New Yorker" is also 75 points. "It seems that all disaster movies are like this: magnificent visual effects, thrilling survival, and a family trapped in disaster without a place to escape. Finally, a victory escape was achieved. But no one can deny that the 'acquired' performed completely different excitement in the same structure, and the rhythm control and exciting visual effects left a deep impression."

It can be seen that compared to the fanaticism of "City of God", the "New Yorker" is not very keen on commercial popcorn movies like "the day after tomorrow". Their comments show limitations to a certain extent, but the 75-point evaluation can still be considered excellent.

The Chicago Tribune only gave a 70-minute review, but their comments were very interesting. "Lancelot-Straello is obviously a very distinctive director. He can use documentaries as music videos, and he can also use music videos as disaster films."

Just seeing this comment, everyone thought they had strong disdain for the "day acquired", but after reading the detailed comment, they would notice that the 70-minute evaluation is actually a compliment.

"The use of a large number of long shots and the advancement of panoramic shots, Strello outlines a magnificent scene of the doomsday; the quick and neat editing and interlocking plot, Strello tells us a story of frequent adrenaline explosions. There is no lone hero who can turn the tide, only the father who seeks family reunion; there is no interpretation of the Jedi reversal of mankind over nature, only the vastness and sadness of mankind's reapment of consequences.

It has to be said that on top of a thin and almost boring music video script, Strello injected rich and fresh flesh into the script framework and served this summer meal. At least, from the outside, it looks colorful and colorful; after tasting, there are almost no more layers except sweet and icy, but at least... it is a delicious bowl of fruit sundae."

The evaluation of the "Chicago Tribune" is really interesting. It analyzes the "non-day acquired" in a joking tone. Although it is only 70, it is indeed a good result for a popcorn commercial movie. What's more, they gave Samsung recommendations in the four-star full-score recommendation system, which can also show their positive and positive feedback to the movie.

In addition, "Imperial" magazine posted an 80-minute mark, "For a disaster movie, for a summer commercial movie, we cannot ask for more: Strello almost destroyed the entire northern hemisphere, and the whole process was exciting! Worth watching!"

The Washington Post also gave 80 points, "The supreme entertainment effect, with an unparalleled reality of panic, makes us start to pay attention to the weather channel after watching the movie. Who knows if the hurricane will hit Los Angeles tomorrow?"

"Movie Review" gives seventy points, "This is an interesting movie, a first half of a smooth and jaw-dropping disaster movie; a dull and cruel, real and vivid second half of a survival movie, and then pieced together into a magnificent masterpiece of the summer season. It would not be a pity to miss it, but watching it may bring a hint of excitement to the summer season."

From being shocking to being praised, the day after the "After Day" screening ended, the North American film market ushered in unimaginable noisy, and mixed comments accompanied by polarized attitudes. Supporters believe this is a popcorn movie that must not be missed, while opponents believe that the movie is boring and not worth wasting two hours of life.

But it is undeniable that there is still a unified trend for Lance's view, whether it is criticism or praise: Compared to the amazing "City of God", Lance gave this film too little personal color, which is disappointing, far below expectations. This is not a bad thing for a new director who has emerged, but at least it is not a positive signal. People will inevitably be more demanding on his next film.

In Hollywood, the living conditions of geniuses are always so bad, which is why the chances of "harm Zhongyong" in Hollywood are so frequent.

In this regard, Lance's attitude was very calm, "I am a director, not an artist." His attitude and position were clear, and he strictly distinguished commercial films from artistic films, which reminded people of Lance's previous jokes, saying that he used "City of God" as a commercial film.

Such a free and easy attitude has caused more controversy, but no one can deny that from Steven Spielberg, George Lucas to James Cameron, Peter Jackson, the boundary between commercial directors and art directors has always been so vague. Lance is not the first in the industry, nor will it be the last one. On the contrary, Lance's attitude is the most suitable for Hollywood.

No matter how controversial the situation is, the fact that the "day-to-day acquired" media ratings reached 64 points, and the outstanding performance made everyone look at it. Although with the release of the movie, more and more media have added comments, and the final score will inevitably fluctuate, no one can deny that after the screening, the "day-to-day acquired" broke out in the controversy and won imaginary attention... and affirmation, this was something that no one, including 20th Century Fox, had expected.

However, measuring the success of a commercial film is never a comment from a critic or even an audience, but a box office. For example, the media review was only 32 points, and even the ImDB audience score was only 5:8 points - not even passing the exam. However, the movie swept 245 million US dollars in North America, and the global box office was as high as 1.1 billion US dollars.

This is called success for commercial movies. So, what about the "non-day acquired"?
