Constantly on the hunt and suffering from hallucinations that drive his violent nature, an unnamed man is capturing women and savagely beating them to death. Meanwhile, a woman is luring men into a violent end, by way of her knife. Driven by the same force to make the opposite sex suffer, the killers’ fates intertwine. The two must face off in a battle to the death, in which they are forced to reveal the horrible truth behind their addiction to murder.
“Brutal” takes an interesting approach to its visuals, drawing heavy influence from Western “Grindhouse” films, using a filter to make the footage appear grainy, damaged, and with light and color fluctuations. Unfortunately, the visual styling ends up feeling misguided, as other than applying the filter it does not imitate any other aspects of the “Grindhouse” genre. Despite trying to dirty up the film, it is apparent it was shot on digital. The cinematography is also a step above most “Grindhouse” productions, with Takashi Hirose proving he has talent behind the camera. Exterior shots to those taking place in small spaces are all competently framed, lit, and transition well. The decision to add an effect on top of the work hurts the film’s imagery and even gives a sense of desperation to try to capture a certain type of nostalgia with the audience, instead of relying on its own strengths. It is unfortunate when one creative choice can hurt a production so much.
The story of “Brutal” is simple but effective, it does attempt some sort of social commentary about the violent nature of men and women, but it does not offer enough depth into the subject to justify the amount of violence on display. The film does end on a strong note with an interesting twist, with a reveal that is bound to gross some out, while giving others a chuckle. In spite of its simple nature, those who enjoy films that make them somewhat uncomfortable and enjoy the challenge of getting through some ultra-violence, “Brutal” poses a fun and entertaining challenge in that regard.
BDOer狂喜。在2022年的美国科幻灾难片里，你甚至能听到白人救世主说“我们的中国朋友给我们提供了某某设备，有了它我们可以直接干啥干啥。”
深海、巨物、幽闭恐惧症者慎重，反之也会非常喜欢这种视觉震撼。
没想到这个ip用的挺好的呀。苏文兴个人传，这个比起电视剧，我更喜欢这个。梗玩得很6.
教科书级别的好莱坞科幻大烂片，剧情老套、角色老套、设定老套，艾默里奇老了
当电视剧的sp看吧，还可以。刘冠麟感觉还是演配角更合适一点。在抄袭网商的道路越走越远，咸鱼、世纪佳缘、互联网都冒出来了。
很显然，在地球上制造灾难已经无法满足艾默里奇了
“5、4……直接飞吧”看得出艾默里奇想要突破商业电影的剧情模式还是动了一些小心思，但是固化的故事情节还是让人有疲倦感，幸好还有视觉效果撑住场面，而艾默里奇电影中对科技滥用的担忧的表现，进一步升华了主题！
哈利贝瑞除了演技没啥进步之外（当然这种片子也没啥表演要求），整个人似乎也丧失了吸引观众的魅力。再加上这个片子里大段无聊的文戏，跟看俄罗斯科幻片也没啥区别。
作为一部商业大片还过得去啊，这种类型的片子你找不到什么惊喜，可能还有各种BUG，但是不就图一热闹吗？感觉评分有点偏低，豆瓣er们对灾难大片免疫了？
就，又是流水线行活，角色设计单薄到无语，煽情就是告诉你该哭了，地球部分很没必要，尤其那两个主角的一众家属们，属实是纸片工具人，一点作用也无。倒是月球内部那个构造很cool，想探究。
所以其实月球不是月球，而是人类祖先派出来的星际飞船么，我去，这脑洞有点牛的
从一半开始看，从网友们的评论得知，似乎刚刚好哈哈哈。感觉不错啊，尽管有点扯，但科幻嘛，哪有什么对错。中国姑娘没有打酱油，没有拖后腿，迄今为止美国大片里表现最优秀的。
拍电影不能缺少资金，但不代表资本就可肆意羞辱电影及观众。
好看还是好看的，就是选在了七夕这个对于我来说不太友善的日子里。
宁毅与苏檀儿的低低配版……倍速拖着进度条看看打发时间，同样的套路不新鲜后也就那样，最后非往赘婿上靠也是，看出编剧努力了。
疫情下为数不多能看的电影，反正支持。个人很喜欢这样的电影，加油支持末日电影 继续拍哈
看开头还以为中国女孩是Jo的女友，还想说这片子这么woke吗我喜欢，结果到头来是个莫名其妙的交换生，引发了一系列莫名其妙的地球支线，月球设定也比我想象的要无趣得多，还以为是恐怖片不可知走向的，结果是个啥，阴谋论+伪科幻？果然中方投资+好莱坞商业片就不要指望太多。两颗星全给hot af的帕翠和Halle。
脑洞很大，科幻灾难要素齐全，台词也搞笑的但略微降智。罗兰艾默里奇真的和地球有仇。光看特效就够了真的。
我可以接受月球是科技造物的设定，甚至喜闻乐见，但全片还是拍得像是闹着玩一样。WOT
节奏太快，结构老套，科幻硬伤，不经推敲，唯一的优点就是特效不赖。
