Hvor man kan se Big Bee
- SpikyCactus2 dage sidenTop badass moment? God give me strength, they’re fucking wasps, not bees! And that pretty well sums up the quality of rest of this (thankfully very short) film. First a disclaimer. I hate wasps. I mean I hate them as much as I hate ants, sheep and nuclear Armageddon. If I ever get my hands on a time machine, the first thing I’m going to do is go back in time to when wasps first evolved and prune that particular branch right off the tree of life, to deny them existence. So with that out of the way… A couple of scientists, a company’s CEO and three military-types, go into an underground lab to find out what’s gone wrong and rescue one of group’s sick, young daughter. The ‘sexy woman’ (there always has to be one in a group like this) manages to get her jacket ripped off her within three minutes of the start of the film, so has to spend much of the rest of it running about in a fairly skimpy (and not at all situation-appropriate for the job in hand) little black dress; (well I think it’s more of a wine colour actually, but you get the point). On several occasions the camara ligers so closely on her cleavage that it’s hard to tell exactly what we’re being shown; (or maybe that just says something about my sex life)? I mean I’m not complaining (about the outfit and close-ups, not my sex life), but I thought we’d moved on from that sort of thing? I’ve also no idea why or how she finds the time, or has the need, to keep swapping between the jacket, a shirt or neither, over her dress. The lab didn’t look like the sort of place that you’d feel the cold in one minute and be too hot in the next. The ‘bees’ themselves (that look exactly like giant wasps) – well I haven’t seen CGI that terrible since I watched “The Langoliers”, although they’re still pretty gross looking and in the fight in the lift do manage to look a bit more convincing. And from a morphological point of view – and yes I know they’ve mutated somewhat from normal ones so maybe they’re different – but why are they intent on stabbing everyone with their front legs? The last time I had any sort of interaction with a swarm of wasps (I’d decided to mow over their nest in a lawn, which seem to piss them off), I got stung several times and it wasn’t very nice, but as far as I can tell none tried to stab me. None of the ’bees’ in this film tried to sting anyone. At bigger than human size the amount of toxin they could inject would probably be pretty lethal, pretty quickly. Why would they evolve to be more like ninjas than, well, wasps? (Note to self: maybe I’m overthinking the plot a bit?) They also seem to be harder to kill than the bugs from Klendathu in “Starship Troopers”, as firing at them from point blank range with an automatic rifle doesn’t seem to do a great deal to slow them down. There’s also a guy wondering about who looks like a cross between someone who was assimilated by the Borg and an extra from “Tron”. And yes, the GPS coordinates given at the start of the film, I really did looked them up on Google Maps. They correspond to a desert area in the middle of China that does look very much like the location of the lab in the film, from what we get to see of it above ground. However, there're no buildings there, although there is a place about 3km away (the coordinates given don't go down to seconds, so aren't precise) that could conceivably be the right location, but assuming the pin on the map is in the centre of the GPS coordinates given, this is probably a bit too far away. In any case, the round tanks seen in the film can't been seen on the satellite image, but as this is a 'near future' film, maybe they haven't been built yet. Technically (CGI excluded) it’s fine if a bit dark with unadventurous sound design, the plot’s a bit of a cliché and the script’s somewhat banal, whilst the acting’s adequate, I suppose. But to be fair I didn’t get bored and I didn’t hate it, unlike the giant wasps, which are a prime reminder that if AI doesn’t decide to kill us, genetic engineering will. And a final thought. That poor traumatised child is going to need a lot of psychological support, probably for the rest of her life. No cats, chainsaws or decapitations.
