The next plot is what was shown in the trailer, the interrogation of the police station, and the calm answer of Sherlock Holmes, which initially revealed the world 30 years later to the audience, and caused a burst of amazement.

Small and delicate mobile phones, thin and convenient laptops, more exquisite listening aloud, and the network that can be seen but not touched, but affects life in all aspects.

"You are staying here temporarily, please contact me by phone at the appointed time in the future. After a laugh-inducing interrogation at the police station, a young black police officer, played by Denzel Washington, delivers Holmes to his designated residence, "You can use a cell phone, right?"

"Thanks, I don't know how to operate such a simple gadget. Holmes replied with a smile.

The most interesting thing about this movie is that Sherlock Holmes, as the leading actor, is always calm and rational, even if he sees something beyond his time, he just raises his eyebrows in surprise, and then carefully gropes and understands, rather than recklessly trying, let alone drinking water from the toilet like some movies that travel through time and space.

Of course, some of the dislocations brought about by different eras still have to be constantly displayed, which are all good comedy jokes.

At the same time, he also confessed that after selling one of his belongings, Holmes moved out of the residence arranged by the police, rented another house, and met the landlord of a young Chinese girl and Joan Watson, who had just returned from peacekeeping in the Middle East.

No accident, when Diane Lane played JoAnn Watson appeared, there was a low laugh in the screening room, and everyone came, naturally knowing what the name and background arrangement were alluding to, and even Holmes complained to the camera: "I didn't know you were a girl, Watson." ”

Next came the low ebb of Sherlock Holmes, he went to the police station to register his new address, and just happened to meet someone who reported the crime, and he habitually analyzed it with curiosity, and he said it all right.

Then he asked the black police officer named Lestrade, played by Washington, who had helped him, to take him to the scene to see it — well, not to change his name this time.

After going to the scene, Holmes used the deduction method again, but this time he was slapped in the face.

First, he was not familiar with the era here, and some things were not well understood, and second, the detection technology of the future was indeed very advanced, far exceeding that of the Victorian era.

Ubiquitous cameras, sophisticated inspection equipment, and all kinds of high-tech diagnostics, so ......

"There's no need for a private detective now, Mr. Detective. The head of the crime scene investigation team said.

Then there is the lonely back in the trailer, although the black police officer Lestrade comforted a few words, but the effect was not obvious.

Seeing this, Andrew Stein smacked his lips and wanted to say something, but turned his head to see that Bob Duvall was watching intently, and there was no meaning to talk at all.

Well, the movie is so informative that it's hard to read, not to mention the various representations of the electronics, just before this episode, Stan sees a face-to-face conversation between Apple's president, Steve Jobs, and Microsoft's president, Gates, on a 46-inch LCD TV hanging on the wall.

Although he didn't give much footage, Stan is an electronics fan, knows the development of Apple and Microsoft very well, and knows that Jobs has been kicked out of Apple.

In addition, there are all kinds of fashion dresses and various life styles 30 years later, although most of them are glimpses, it can still be seen that the director and producer have a detailed blueprint for the future in their hearts. And it's not as depressing and quirky as other sci-fi movies, it's very lighthearted, as if the future is really like that.

Although this will inevitably distract the audience and affect their understanding of the plot, the details are too rich and very novel, and they do not feel boring.

The director is very clever to attribute some logical problems to the future, which is different from the current approach, such as the reason why Holmes was rescued and was able to live in New York because of a tolerance decree issued in 05.

And then the rhythm has been well controlled, just like the next episode, with an old song in the background, constantly showing how Sherlock Holmes studied hard in the library in college, how he tried to understand the society 100 years later, and did not give up, still has the intention of opening a detective agency.

At the same time, it is also interspersed with the help and support of the female Watson, and who inherited the big house property, a little arrogant, but still very kind to the young Chinese landlady and his interaction.

"It's really hard to imagine that the Chinese can still achieve what they are now. ”

"Yes, Mr. Antique, what were they like in your time?"

"It's not a world factory anyway. ”

There is such a dialogue between them, and it also caused some unexplained laughter, Stan pouted, he doesn't know the country on the other side of the Pacific, the world factory or something is too exaggerated, I don't understand how the director could add such a paragraph, in order to highlight the kindness of the supporting actress?

There are some things that will only be understood after 30 years, like smartphones on the streets.

This episode is not much, and soon it begins to officially get into the main event, the Chinese landlady dies, and after the police check the scene, they simply conclude that the burglary caused her death.

Holmes objected, but was unceremoniously taunted by the police, and even Watson didn't quite believe him.

Sherlock Holmes, who smoked his pipe in his study for most of the night, finally made the decision to investigate privately, because some things change, but some things don't.

And after the female Watson accidentally helped out because she was worried about him, she also joined in, and after risking the danger of constantly searching for evidence, although the police department still refused to believe his reasoning, the black man Lestrade still provided some convenience in private.

As the facts of the case are peeled back, more and more evidence shows that the murder of the Chinese landlady was murder, and the loopholes in the new technology are also pointed out by an antique detective like Sherlock Holmes.

Of course, there are also some jokes in it, and the female Watson is also very powerful, which makes many viewers very surprised, yes, the female martial artist role in the movie is not nothing, but she has both skills and appearance, and she is handsome, but this is basically blank.

However, the police department still stubbornly turned a blind eye, and the mastermind behind the scenes, after noticing their movements, began to press in, and Holmes and Watson seemed powerless to parry, so they could only hide everywhere.

When the mastermind forces them to an abandoned factory, as night falls, the Armageddon finally comes, and with the help of Watson and Herestrade's drone on the periphery, Sherlock Holmes and the mastermind are face to face.

After he stood in the light and lit his pipe and said that famous sentence again, the real face of the mastermind behind the scenes was finally revealed, the deputy chief of the police station who had always been interested in Sherlock Holmes.
