The first Zombie movie was a great success. Starlight Entertainment went all out to hire a director with exceptional camera control skills, and the editor was also top-notch.

The first time I watched this movie, the main plot was captivating and moving enough, and the realistic and shocking scenes made me truly feel the impact of the coming apocalypse.

But when they left the theater and began to reflect on it, they discovered many deeper aspects of human conflict.

A well-known film critic on DouDou.com, nicknamed "Little Bamboo Pole," wrote: "...Some people say this is a horror film, and yes, it is quite terrifying, with lifelike zombies and a desolate city. But I would say that it is actually a tragedy. Whether it is the false and fleeting happiness between Long Xun and Yin Chen, or the contradiction between Po, the zombie king, and his fighting for humanity, both reflect this tragedy."

"One is the tragedy of emotions between individuals, and the other is the tragedy of racial change. The director skillfully integrates these two emotions into the film, making people think deeply."

"As a human, Long Xun would rather drag the entire world down with him than let his lover die. This is certainly a great love, but how selfish and shallow is this kind of love? He himself understood this, so he devoted all his efforts to saving everyone, establishing a safe base, organizing research on virus antibodies, and doing many other things. He was a contradictory and tormented person, but in the end he gained nothing. His lover, Yin Chen, turned to ashes and could never come back to life. In the end, he said nothing and simply ended his life with a single shot."

"He is a tragedy. Even though he is a villain, I can't bring myself to hate him."

"But Po was the opposite. When his identity was first exposed, he was ostracized. Po was a man of few words. He gradually gained the recognition of humans through his actions and the support of the Dragon Seekers. But when the AI ​​Sheila suggested that he go to his death, he must have struggled quite a bit in his heart."

"If you look closely, you'll find that the two meetings in the movie are actually the same one. The first one ends with a long silence, and time rewinds to when the zombie crisis just began. The second meeting starts with silence, and then they start arguing. Po steps forward and is willing to die."

"As the zombie king, Po could have lived a carefree life among the zombie race, but he didn't. He couldn't forget his human identity, so he came back, willing to give everything for humanity."

"No, I misspoke. He was actually willing to give everything for those who were willing to argue for him."

“Long Xun and Po are actually the same kind of people. They are both strong and fearless for what they want to protect, but in the end, Long Xun went from being a ‘good person’ to a ‘bad person’, while Po went from being a ‘bad person’ to a ‘good person’.”

"The other people in the movie, just the members of the Dragon Search Team, are all young people. The youngest is Qi Qi, who is only a few years old, and the oldest is in his twenties. They include ordinary people, office workers, students, rich young masters, orphans, and AI... all kinds of people, which can be regarded as a microcosm of society."

"Do they really know nothing? I doubt it. The AI ​​Sheila is from the Dragon Seeking Research Base. During the meeting, she looked at Yin Chen meaningfully three times, and each time Yin Chen's face turned paler, that was a small detail."

"When Ye Tan and Mu Chunfeng went back to the dormitory to sleep, they said something to each other. Ye Tan felt that the captain was a bit strange, but after Mu Chunfeng finished washing up for a long time, he said, 'It's okay, he is the captain.'"

"This is the trust that his teammates and those around him have in him. This trust is reflected in the movie at all times. Those team members, each with their own unique style, and those people in the base, they believe in him. As long as it is his order, these people will carry it out without hesitation. In contrast, Long Xun's mutant ability is also the ancient guardian beast of our country, the dragon."

"Unfortunately, in the end, he still failed to live up to that trust."

...

The little bamboo pole is just a microcosm of film critics; many more film reviews exploded after the premiere, with almost no critics daring to disagree.

That was indeed a very profound, very shocking, and very realistic movie. Every choice the characters made, no matter what it was, felt real to them.

There was no time for crying or grieving, and no one would foolishly shout the names of the dead. The battle was terrifying; some died, while others gritted their teeth and continued to flee as if they were cold-blooded.

But only when everything calms down do they have time to indulge in their pain.

These reviews, seemingly bought off, kept praising the film, which piqued the audience's curiosity. As a result, when the film was released in theaters, every screening was packed, and the box office soared.

The box office reached 100 million in its opening week!

This is an incredible achievement for domestic horror films, but for a group of newcomers who are appearing on the big screen for the first time, these achievements mean that most viewers have no impression of them and are taking a wait-and-see attitude.

This is a film that builds up gradually before its impact suddenly explodes a week later.

This movie is suitable for everyone, young and old. If you're looking for something profound and action-packed, its portrayal of human nature will make it worthwhile; if you're looking for comedy and lightheartedness, the antics of the goofy golden python Eryuan Sanliang will have you laughing out loud; if you're looking for romance and drama, the complicated relationship between Long Xun and Yin Chen has brought tears to countless eyes…

Even if you only want to see handsome men and beautiful women, everyone in the Dragon Seeker team is good-looking. There's the queenly and mature Sheila, the icy and cool Zhang Moyu, and the loli-like Qiqi; the aloof and unattainable Dragon Seeker, the gentle and refined Mu Chunfeng, the innocent and cute Yin Chen, the unruly Ye Tan, the awkward and arrogant Chen Yanye, and the boyish Wang Yimo... Each of them has their own unique characteristics, and there's definitely one that you'll like.
