"Do you think thet day is the limit of the brain hole" The reporter of Hollywood Entertainment Report, in the film review column, almost in a tone of worship, published an advanced film review, "thet day reloaded takes you into the real brain hole"

In the film review, Hacker 2 was described as a brain-burning masterpiece with a blockbuster temperament. ☆→☆→, the reporter said that he watched the premiere in the UK and tried his best to watch it in France, because he didn't understand many places the first time.

"The first time you watch it, you're going to be attracted by those dazzling scenes that explode in your head, and you're going to exclaim over and over again, cool, so handsome, wow, how did the director come up with it, it's so good, and then you walk out of the cinema and suddenly you realize, damn it, what they're talking about, it's not good, I have to watch it again and figure it out."

It's really hard to fully understand what the movie is saying after watching it once.

The first episode of the original Matrix trilogy is relatively easy to understand, and what is amazing is the concept of the matrix. By the second and third episodes, the whole worldview began to take shape, and it was full of all kinds of incomprehensions to understand.

In his previous life, Zhang Tan didn't know all the details of the Matrix very well, and it wasn't until he watched the decoding of the Matrix in the visual column that Zhang Tan suddenly understood all the details in the movie.

The Matrix is a story about the real and the virtual, the upgrade and the evolution, which incorporates a lot of philosophical thinking, and then ambiguously blurs the boundaries between the real and the virtual. Finally, the unity of the trinity of the matrix, the machine, and the human race, and true peace.

Arguably. The core of this story is earth-shattering, and the depth can no longer be simply regarded as a movie, but a collection of philosophies.

However, Hollywood has always looked at money, and in order to pursue the excitement of the picture, it has moved closer to commercial blockbusters. Usually what the first part of the audience likes to watch. The sequel will be doubled out. So the directors of the Wachowski sisters had to make the fights stinky and long, and the bullet time was boring.

It's a pity that I failed to comprehend the essence of kung fu, and second, I paid too much attention to visual effects, so that the fight scenes were not mastered in a safe degree.

If it's too much, it feels like it's booming for some reason.

It's true that the picture is super cool, but it doesn't seem to be as good as expected, which is very embarrassing.

Then the dialogue between Neo and the designer is too mysterious, and in order to arouse people's appetite, he deliberately talks about a lot of things very obscurely. It is also a failure to grasp a suitable degree, giving people a long-winded feeling.

Zhang Tan remade the Matrix trilogy, standing at a higher height than the Wachowski sisters, who had seen the animated version of The Matrix. as well as a lot of movie analysis, and I have also seen a lot of praise and criticism from the audience for the sequel.

Know how to play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses, preserving the essence of the Matrix, the esoteric story, while reducing self-righteous pretensions and brutal discordant fights.

let Yuan Baye integrate pure Chinese kung fu into the fight, and also referred to the many action movies he has watched. The action scenes in The Matrix are beautiful. Not only does it have the beauty of Chinese kung fu, but it also has all kinds of novelties that open up the brain, and the length occupied by it is also appropriately reduced.

The movie is not as long as possible, as long as the story is told well and the exciting scenes are in place, in fact, a one-and-a-half-hour movie is more popular than a two-and-a-half-hour movie.

After all, after a long time, it is easy to cause fatigue in watching movies.

In many Hollywood blockbusters, the editor and the director are opposites, the director wants to stuff all the content into it, and the editor starts from the audience's point of view, and the scissors are all minus.

The most typical is probably Superman vs. Batman, a full two and a half hours in length, but the audience generally reflected that it was stinky and long, and wanted to cram too much content, but the result was that the audience didn't have that mind and accepted too much content in a short period of time. Only then did the box office fail to meet expectations, and the reputation was even more bleak.

Zhang Tan's version of The Matrix 2: Reloaded is shorter than the first part, only 122 minutes, without too many repetitive fights, without too many verbose dialogues, and all of them are based on the smoothness of watching the movie as the first experience.

did not deliberately show depth, but hid the depth behind a smooth story for the audience to experience for themselves.

Audiences who like to watch the excitement can watch it as a popcorn blockbuster, and viewers who like to burn their brains can go through some hints of details to explore the depth of philosophy.

Of course.

Zhang Tan kept an eye on it, and while he cut the 122-minute version, he also cut a 138-minute extended version, which is similar to the original Wachowski movie. His idea is that if the advanced film critics do not rate his version highly, then he can quickly adjust to the extended version while it has not yet been released.

Obviously, the current advanced film reviews are full of praise, and his modifications are quite perfect, which has not weakened the reputation of the first part in the slightest, but has improved it even more.

"So, let's let the 122-minute version show its charm."

The world premiere of The Matrix 2: Reloaded was held in Beijia.

Zhang Tan participated, and it was the only premiere he attended, and when the first film was released last year, he also cooperated with several countries to promote it, which was his first Hollywood blockbuster, and there was no room for error. The fame of this year's movie is already loud enough, so Zhang Tan's tsundere attribute attacked.

didn't go to the publicity at all, that is, when the premiere of Bei Yan, he went home to accompany his parents, wife, and children, and just attended the premiere by the way.

After the premiere, the audience applauded.

It heralds the birth of another masterpiece.

After this round of premiere impact, more than 100 film reviews quickly appeared on the Rotten Tomatoes website, with a freshness of 90, which was a step further than the 89 before the release of the first part, and the word of mouth was against the sky.

"Ambition"

"Philosophy"

Depth

Visuals

"Brain-burning masterpiece"

These words have been mentioned repeatedly in film reviews.

On fan rating movie websites such as IB, Douban, Time.com, and Alloine, the rating column has just been opened, and it is immediately a variety of full scores, occasionally mixed with the lowest score given by black fans.

Much to look forward to.

It's about the release environment of The Matrix 2: Reloaded.

Finally on July 11, 2014, Hacker 2 was first released in 16 countries and regions including North America, the mainland, South Korea, the United Kingdom, Xiangxiang, and Taiwan.

"Here Comes the Hackers"

Throughout July, movies were released in the mainland, except for two Hollywood films with little box office potential, that is, some small-budget horror films, romance films, and animated films were being released.

Those movies with box office potential, such as Xiao Age 3: The Age of Thorn Gold directed by Guo Han and the Houhui period directed by Han Jingming, all ran to the August schedule. Forty movies are expected to be released in August, and only twenty in July, which is caused by the arrival of Hacker 2.

Before it was released, the pre-sale box office of Hacker 2 broke 150 million yuan on the first day, and it is estimated that few movies will be able to break it before.

Then in the midnight field on Thursday, he frantically obtained 50 million, and quickly recaptured the previous Autobot 4 with 40 million to break the Matrix's record of 33.44 million.

On Friday, it was 297 million in a single day, a strong refresh of the premiere day record, because the domestic box office statistics no longer count the zero point field in the box office on the first day, so Hacker 2 regrets that it has not become a record that has not yet appeared in the film history of "a single-day box office of more than 300 million".

However, there is no need to regret it, because Saturday collected 351 million yuan in a single day, easily becoming the first film in mainland film history to sell 300 million box office in one day.

On Sunday, it broke 300 million again, and closed 304 million yuan in a single day. So far, the box office of Hacker 2 in the first week in the mainland has soared directly to 1.002 billion yuan, becoming the first film in mainland film history to break one billion box office in a single week, refreshing all records.

At the same time that the mainland is crazy, North America is also crazy.

Hacker 2 did not hold a Thursday midnight show in North America, and opened directly in 4,198 theaters on Friday, getting $61.2 million, which is more than three times higher than the Matrix's Friday premiere of $19.78 million, which is almost equivalent to the opening weekend box office of The Matrix.

And this number jù also squeezed into the eighth place at the box office on Friday premiere day in North American film history.

This was followed by $49.85 million on Saturday, $40.9 million on Sunday, and a total of $151.95 million in the three days of the weekend, ranking sixth at the opening weekend box office in North American film history, behind the Avengers, Iron Man 3, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, The Hunger Games 2 and The Hunger Games.

Jo summed up this weekend's box office and reported on the opening record of Hacker 2 as: "A feast at the box office. "To be continued.
