Is there so much after Furious Beast？ Godzilla the dinosaur lined up for release.
Special feature of 1905 film network Monster movies have always been the "evergreen tree" of Hollywood. On April 13th, it was released in the mainland for four days, and it earned 361 million yuan at the box office, once again showing the charm of this type of film as long as the film history.
Furious Beast did not break through the limitations of traditional monster films. Due to the genetic variation caused by human experiments, crocodiles, orangutans and coyotes became huge monsters, and the bitter fruit brewed in violation of the laws of nature eventually "swallowed" human beings. In Furious Beast, apart from the sight of monsters running wild in the city, the emotion between Dwayne Douglas Johnson and orangutans has become the main factor to promote the development of the plot, and the seemingly endless nightmare is finally ended through the intervention and balance between species.
Throughout the monster films, the theme always revolves around human intervention in nature (making monsters and awakening monsters) and nature’s revenge on human beings (monster activities destroy human civilization). The warmth shown by monsters reflects human barbarism.
After Furious Beast, the film industry will also usher in a "super monster peak period", which will be tested by the audience according to the release date.
Jurassic World 2 was released in the United States on June 22, 2018.
The series derived from it has become a new spiritual sustenance for dinosaur fans.
In Jurassic World 1, the screenwriter creatively enabled Star-Lord, the protagonist, to communicate with Deinonychus. His ability became more proficient in Jurassic World 2, and Deinonychus even became Star-Lord’s assistant.
In addition, the successful "resurrection" of some new species of dinosaurs on the screen is exciting. The presence of Triceratops and Ankylosaurus makes up for the vacancy of herbivorous dinosaurs in Jurassic World series, and the appearance of new species of pterosaurs reminds people of the fear brought by these sky overlords in 2001.
The Meg was released in the mainland on August 10, 2018.
As the theme of deep-sea monsters, almost no film will surpass Spielberg’s influence. Every year, the number of people who die in the mouth of sharks is far less than the number who die from drinking, but people still have various misunderstandings about sharks.
Monsters in The Meg existed in ancient times. Judging from the size of tooth fossils unearthed, Megalodon is several times larger than Great White, the largest shark species in existence, and its sharp-edged teeth are definitely a nightmare for contemporary marine life.
I won’t go into details about the plot of the film. In short, this prehistoric monster from Mariana Trench disturbed the human world, and the role played by Li Bingbing became the key figure to subdue the monster.
"Iron Soldier" was released in the United States on August 3, 2018.
Since its appearance in 1987, there have been no fewer than ten films named "Iron Warrior", including the series of joint alien fights. The quality of these films is mixed, and they can no longer reach the shock brought by the 87 th edition.
After a lapse of 21 years, the restarted "Iron Soldier" will be released soon, and the details of the story have not yet been announced. However, judging from the origin of director shane black and the 87th edition of The Iron Soldier, it is unlikely that the story can make a big breakthrough. Although the iron warrior appears in human form, he is an out-and-out super bloodthirsty monster, and his extraordinary melee fighting skills have left a deep impression on the audience.
Godzilla: The King of Monsters was released in the United States on March 22, 2019.
This new film named after Godzilla will not be released until 2019. In the egg, Mothra, who looks like a silkworm moth, Raton, who looks like a toothless pterodactyl, and Godzilla’s biggest rival, Long Jidora, appear together, which indicates that these super giants will gather together.
These monsters are not new screen species, and they have appeared many times in Japanese science fiction movies. Mothra first appeared in the film "Mosla" produced by Dongbao in 1961. It can use ultrasonic rays and scales in its wings as weapons, and has strong maneuverability to easily avoid the hotline. At the same time, its scales can confuse opponents, and with flexible and agile flight attack methods, it can defeat opponents in a short time.
Raton appeared in Raton, the Big Monster in the Air, in 1956, with a total of four generations, growing in size and always being Godzilla’s biggest air threat. Raton’s main attack method is to use supersonic flight to generate shock waves, or to spread its wings to generate storms, and sometimes its roar can also be used as an attack weapon.
Kidola first appeared in Kidola, a Three-headed Monster in 1964, and was known as "Godzilla’s old enemy". It has three heads, two tails, huge wings on its back, no arms, golden scales all over its body, a dragon-like head, and a lightning-like gravitational beam in its mouth. Godzilla and Kidola fought fiercely for 13 rounds in 60 years, and now they are going to fight again with the support of two other monsters. It seems that Godzilla is running out of luck.
It is worth mentioning that more and more China filmmakers are participating in Hollywood productions. China filmmaker Zhang Ziyi plays the role of "Soul Man" in the film, and also partners with Ken Watanabe and others.
Godzilla vs Kong was released in the United States on May 22nd, 2020.
Earlier, it was reported that a film named Godzilla vs Kong would be released in North America on May 22nd, 2020. According to the news revealed on IMDb, Zhang Ziyi will still appear in this movie. The synopsis of the story is very short. King Kong meets Godzilla, and everyone is watching which of them will become the king of monsters.
Although it sounds good, there are still many questions around you. Judging from the monster’s volume setting, Godzilla is several times bigger than King Kong, and its attack power is much higher than that of King Kong’s original tearing. How to fight creatures that seem to be full of warmth for human beings is also an important part of testing the logic of the story.
As a "complete popcorn type", the monster film presents an amazing impression with the help of the latest special effects technology. Although there are loopholes in the plot, the fear of unknown creatures and natural forces has always supported the creation of filmmakers. In a large number of monster science fiction movies, the series successfully jumped out of the framework of monster wars and entered the deep discussion of "where did humans come from?"
The use of mockumentary earlier is refreshing.
But unfortunately, since 2018, the monster film seems to have "regressed", and it is a pity to return to the old road of showing monsters again.
