"Sherlock Holmes in 2015 is a very special movie, so special that you don't know what to label it. Suspense, sci-fi, action, or plot, all of these characteristics are present, but they are not specific, like a hodgepodge.

However, this chowder tastes very good, whether it is the picture, the plot or the special effects, it is surprising. The most shocking thing is the prediction of the society 30 years later, and the director seems to have a complete picture in his heart, showing the audience through Sherlock Holmes through time and space.

There are too many details worth recalling, and all aspects of the changes are clearly expressed, especially the thing called the Internet, which almost turns life upside down, which is very surprising.

By this time, Mr. Holmes's detective case seemed to be unimportant, although in the easter egg at the end, there was a character who was suspected to be Professor Moriarty, who also traveled through time and space. What we care more about is what else is in the director's mind about the social structure in 30 years, and how likely these are to be realized. ”

"Sherlock Holmes in 2015" was finally released, which is not much expected, and the Star Wars trilogy can make fans so in this era, and "Raiders of the Lost Ark 3" can't make them look forward to it.

Although the previous trailer did attract countless people, it is still impossible to compare with a national movie like Star Wars, and it is already good to have the popularity of the "Raiders of the Lost Ark" series.

What's more, film critics have mixed reviews of the film - and it can't be said that it is mixed, after all, it was said hello, the quality of the film itself is also excellent, and Cameron's commercial standards are still trustworthy.

It's just that, like Andrew Stein, most critics don't know what to say, and even Roy Ebert said in his column that the film is interesting, but it's hard to depict it specifically.

Of course, it can also be said that he was bitten by a snake and did not dare to criticize science fiction films too much, not to mention that he was greeted by more powerful characters.

But many audiences who select movies based on the comments of film critics, when they see this situation, they often wait for a while, and the audience who watches the movie for the first time is similar to the film critics, and they think it is very good, but it is a little difficult to say what is good.

This can't convince others, so in the first week of the weekend box office, "Sherlock Holmes in 2015", which asked for 1,200 theaters through Paramount, earned about $5.52 million, only less than 10,000 less than the first-place Australian film "Crocodile Dundee".

There is no doubt that the results are not optimistic, because "Crocodile Dundee" has been in theaters for 9 weeks, and even such a film has not been able to surpass, and the future of "Sherlock Holmes in 2015" can be imagined.

The second week was even worse, and the latest "Star Trek" directly topped the box office with a weekend box office of nearly 17 million.

So much so that the heads of many film companies are a little gloating in private, and the movie prodigy is finally about to hit the rocks.

Counting Edward Lee's investment in movies over the years, you will find that he has really not failed, even literary films like "Out of Africa", when the industry is generally not optimistic, can still invest with a unique vision, and make a small profit, and almost won the Oscar.

Not to mention the original Star Wars series, as well as the "Back to the Future" series - by the way, "The Last Emperor", which won the best movie at the beginning of the year, was also invested in by him.

It's just that his interest is not all in Hollywood, he is completely playing, but he can pull up a new team when needed, and still make a popular movie, such as "Top Gun" released in the middle of the year.

Coupled with factors such as background, no one dares to go against his will on the surface, but there are still many people who hope that he will be unlucky.

And this time, it is said that the investment of "Sherlock Holmes in 2015" reached 60 million, but the box office of the first weekend was only more than 5 million, and even "Crocodile Dundee", which was released for 9 weeks, was not stepped on, and the second weekend was ridden by "Star Trek", and the prospect can be imagined.

Even if you don't dare to attack openly in public opinion, it's still okay to play a side ball or something, and then ...... I believe that many people will feel comfortable in their hearts.

In this case, the third week weekend is here, and the things that should be here should also come.

"You have to see this movie!" Shaun Harmon shook his fist at his roommates in his college dorm room, "if you don't watch this movie, you'll regret it." ”

"What's wrong with this guy?" someone asked, half-jokingly, after a moment's pause.

"Damn, there's a network in there! There's a network of the future, a network built on protocols," Harmon shouted, "a network of freedom and sharing! Are you still Stanford students!"

"Hey, have you seen that latest movie, Sherlock Holmes in 2015," Dan Wells asked himself in his spare time, "very interesting." ”

"I've heard that it seems that Sherlock Holmes traveled through time and space to New York in 2015. Someone shrugged their shoulders and didn't know why this was mentioned.

"In the movie, it is mentioned that a branch of digital communication technology, spread spectrum communication technology, will need to transmit information data with a certain signal bandwidth, with a high-speed pseudo-random code with a bandwidth much greater than the signal bandwidth for modulation......" Wells then said with great interest, "Don't you think this is what we want to make?"

And the colleagues who were originally just indifferent couldn't help but show a curious look when they listened.

"Hey, Chen, is there such a move in Kung Fu?" On the way out of school, a white teenager chased a Chinese teenager, asking and gesturing.

"What is this?" asked another white teenager who was with the Chinese teenager.

"In the movie, "Sherlock Holmes in 2015," the former said excitedly, "I had no intention of going to see one, the fights in it are so cool, not lost to those kung fu movies at all!"

"Isn't that science fiction?" the latter was a little surprised.

"I don't know, but it's really cool. The former shrugged, "I heard that there is a team from Hong Kong." ”

"Is that still in theaters?" Chen immediately asked.

"Very interesting reasoning, everything is built on the future society in the movie, without any factor, the reasoning cannot be established. At a reasoning party, one of the members enthusiastically recommended.

"What's wrong with this, reasoning based entirely on the attic in the sky, I can figure out a whole bunch of them. Someone said disdainfully.

"The problem is that the near-future society shown in the film is technically possible. "I've asked some professionals, and I think you can go and see it, at least know what I'm talking about." ”

Similar situations continue to play out all over North America, with all sorts of identities, all kinds of hobbies, and now all drawn to the same movie.

As a result, in the third week, "Sherlock Holmes in 2015" once again reversed the decline with a weekend box office of 12 million, and "Star Trek 4", which had a decline of 50% and only more than 8 million weekend box office, was cut down.
