At present, Chinese military enthusiasts have strongly criticized this film.
After a famous military enthusiast's movie review was deleted, things got even worse.

The current objections can be summarized as follows:
1、The film creation team lacks respect for the Air Force and is unwilling to learn about the Air Force and aviation industry. This means that investors only want to borrow the support of the military to promote their actors, and they do not care about the image of the military or the narrative quality of the film.
2、 Another confirmation of the corrupt practices in the Chinese film industry. For example, creating fake box offices - making late night empty cinemas "full", a phenomenon satirized as "millions of ghosts/百万阴兵".
In addition, some people pointed out that the director of the film lacked shooting experience and had very few works. In fact, he was a vassal of the film producer Han Han(韩寒). Han Han is a young writer and racing driver, but he has a strong individualistic tendency and liberal thinking. Unfortunately, the protagonists in the movie also exhibit various forms of personal heroism, disobedient to commands, arbitrary, and even installing their own made deceleration parachutes for airplanes.
3、The producers suppress opposition opinions, even order the removal of critical comments, and incite online violence.

This phenomenon is destined to not improve for a long time. Because military enthusiasts have high demands. Someone commented, "It is difficult to obtain profits from male audiences, but women are different. As long as a delicate male actor (or an actor like a male prostitute) appears in the camera, these female audiences don't care how bad the movie is. Moreover, even better, due to their lack of acting skills and simply being good-looking, these people are very easy to control for investors. Without the huge cost of publicity from investors, they are worthless."
I don't care much of the fanfare. Most of these critics are irrelevant anyway. As for the movie itself, it is more due to the weak storyline and bad CGI.

As for good looking male actor as a selling point, I would like to point out that none of Chinese firms that using male actor with no acting skill to play the main actor ever brings in good box office number. So it is a failed strategy that keep coming back.

It isn't much to do with female audiences as these audiences are much smaller number in the real life than on the Web. It is more to do with investors that is trying to control and use these celebrities in many ways and forms that go beyond simply making a good movie.

Well, based on this heritage, and according to the Marxist principle of 'history repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce', the Korean nation has produced recently some remote offsprings!




Shin Sang Ok (신상옥; October 11, 1926 – April 11, 2006) was a South Korean filmmaker with more than 100 producer and 70 director credits to his name. His best-known films were made in the 1950s and 60s, many of them collaborations with his wife Choi Eun Hee, when he was known as "The Prince of South Korean Cinema". He received posthumously the Gold Crown Cultural Medal, the country's top honor for an artist.

In 1976, Choi divorced Shin after seeing news that he had fathered two children with the young actress Oh Su Mi. Choi's career began to suffer after her divorce, and she traveled to Hong Kong in 1978 before resurfacing in the DPRK (or was abducted depending on the versions).

In 1978, facing financial difficulties for his movies, Shin went to Hong Kong before resurfacing in North Korea for the purpose of producing critically acclaimed films (or was abducted depending on the versions).

The two remained for 8 years until 1986, when they sought asylum in the United States. Shin continued to produce and direct films in America, now under the pseudonym "Simon Sheen", before eventually returning to South Korea for his final years.

6.1.4.11.1. Guowang Superseding Military Data Backhaul, Comsats And GNSS

To better justify the build up of the Starlink WMD, Hollywood has been tasked by the U.S. military to prepare the domestic opinion, that is the U.S. taxpayers, and the international opinion as well, with countless of 'military communications' genre movies, prior to the first Falcon-9 space launch of the Starlink constellation series initially planned for 2016.

China that is tailing closely every U.S. military's moves, has not only correctly assessed the real purpose of the Starlink WMD as a Trojan Horse, but is also decided to catch up with its own orbital DEW system.

is among the first 'military communications' genre movie produced in China.

This war film is the sequel to The Battle at Lake Changjin (2021). It was directed and produced by Chen Kaige, Tsui Hark, and Dante Lam and stars Wu Jing, Jackson Yee, and Duan Yihong. The film commemorates the 100th Anniversary of the Chinese Communist Party and is based on the historical fighting at Funchilin Pass during the Battle of Chosin Reservoir in the Korean War.

The Battle of Chosin Reservoir, also known as the Chosin Reservoir Campaign or the Battle of Lake Changjin was an important turning point in the Korean War.

The battle took place about a month after the People's Republic of China entered the conflict and sent the People's Volunteer Army (PVA) 9th Army to the northeastern part of North Korea.

After fighting at Sinhung-ni and Hagaru-ri, the Chinese People's Volunteer Army's 7th Company arrives at the Water Gate Bridge, which guards a strategic point on the American 1st Marine Division's retreat route, and the 7th Company tries on several occasions to destroy the bridge.

Communications are disrupted by the Siberian winter temperature that freezes the radio transmitter's batteries, forcing the Chinese People's Volunteer Army's 7th Company to use semaphores as a backup for its short range communications, and send foot soldier for delivering messages over longer distances.

Enemy napalm bombing is then used to the advantage of the 7th Company, allowing to bring batteries to life by burying them in the ground after the bombing run.

Once completed, the Guowang proliferated, distributed, and networked (PLEO) constellation system should supersede most conventional military satellites, including Beidou GNSS, Tianlian data backhaul sats, Shentong military comsats, Earth observation synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellites, Yaogan Naval Ocean Surveillance System signals-intelligence satellites, and space early warning systems.

Last but not least, another 'enemy has better military communications' genre movie has even depicted the existence of an yet undisclosed Wunderwaffe, to blame for the U.S. crushing defeat to the invincible superior North Korean forces' blitzkrieg.

is a videomancy Hollywood action war film directed by Dan Bradley, starring Chris Hemsworth, Josh Hutcherson, etc.

The film centers on a group of young people who defend their hometown from a North Korean invasion.

It is revealed that North Korean forces used an EMP weapon crippling the U.S. electrical grid and military, followed by landings along the east and west coasts.

The U.S. resistance is then tasked to steal the game-changing communications hardware contained in KPA Captain Cho's suitcase.

While nothing is said about the mysterious secret technology, the viewer can speculate whether the KPA has mastered field quantum communications hackproof datalink.

6.1.4.3.1. PLA GW-class Laser ASAT


Worried about the military threat of the Starlink? Chinese Laser Weapons Can Destroy Them Quickly and Cost Effectively

21 MAY 2022

Back in 2005, China's 50-100 KW-class truck-mounted chemical laser weapons have been successfully tested in Xinjiang region, blinding low earth orbit satellites at an oblique distance of 600 km.

In 2013, the output power of the two types of Chinese deuterium fluoride and iodine oxide chemical lasers, have reached 0.3MW, that is 300KW.

Today, the output power of the Chinese strategic laser weapons is already of the megawatt level, that is more than 10 times the power of the 2005 level.

Therefore, there will be no shortage on the Chinese side of strategic laser weapons, also known as laser guns.

So, will China be afraid of the threat of the Starlink system? Starlink system satellite, equipped with 1 solar cell array, 4 high-throughput antennas, Hall thrusters, autonomous collision avoidance system, etc., the power is very small (thrust is less than 1N), maneuverability is very poor, currently mainly space WIFI role (some people say its ability to intercept nuclear bombs). Even if it carries some optical and electronic reconnaissance payloads behind it, Chinese laser weapons can completely blind it permanently, or even destroy it. And, as time goes on, the power of Chinese laser weapons will increase rapidly and exponentially.

is a videomancy Chinese science fiction action film directed by Teng Huatao and stars Lu Han and Shu Qi.

In 2035, space aliens have wiped out mega cities around the globe with powerful laser weapon, to get their main source of energy, Xianteng.

After the destruction of Rio, New York, Tokyo, Moscow and New Dehli, the last major human city to continue the fight is Shanghai.

The Shanghai Cannon developed by China and powered by Xianten energy, is mankind last line of defence. It can produce a powerful ground to space directed energy beam, able to engage space targets.

As suggested by the gigantic size of the Shanghai Cannon comparable to a small neighborhood, this could be consistent with a particle accelerator beam, or even a PW-class laser.

After a devastating battle over Shanghai that left the megalopolis in ruin, the alien Delta Mother Ship is finally repelled.

film series which is loosely based on the Capcom 'zombie outbreak' genre survival horror video game series of the same name, features a 'satellite mind-control' subplot.

Janus Prospero is the main protagonist of The Resident Evil movie series. Under the assumed name of Alice Parks, she is a former security operative of the Umbrella Corporation turned anti-Umbrella resistance fighter.

The Umbrella Corporation is presented as the largest and most powerful commercial entity in the world, modeled as what Elon Musk's ever growing and tentacular military-industrial empire could become in the near future.

She planned to expose the corporation’s illegal biological weapon experimentation with the t-virus on humans and animals.

The film follows amnesiac heroine Alice (Milla Jovovich) and a band of Umbrella Corporation commandos as they attempt to contain the man-made outbreak of the zombie virus called T-virus at 'The Hive', a secret underground facility.

Alice stays on the move to avoid capture by the Umbrella Corporation after she learned Umbrella could track and control her through satellites. She left the group to protect them, using the satellites trajectories to stay off the grid.

During a battle between the zombies and survivors, Dr. Alexander Isaacs, the head scientist of Umbrella's North American facility, attempts to shut down Alice, as the satellite network reacquires her. As Alice is frozen in place, she is able to overcome the control by 'frying' the satellite's processor through her advanced psionic powers.

Analysis

• Three years before the official start of the 2019 COVID-19 world pandemic, an image of a coronavirus was already disclosed in 'The Final Chapter (2016)'.
• It is also no coincidence that the said bioweapon pathogen is also a virus.
• The bioweapon is an engineered man-made virus one.

Resident Evil: The Final Chapter (2016)

442-445
00:54:02,407 --> 00:54:15,378
Soon after the T-virus was released, a secret file was uploaded to my data stream.

It was a recording of a meeting of the Umbrella high command dated 17 months before the viral outbreak occurred.

446-464
00:54:15,670 --> 00:55:11,768
We're here today not just to talk about the future of this company.

We're here to talk about its destiny.

We're here to talk about the end of the world.

We stand on the brink of Armageddon.

Diseases for which we have no cure.

Fundamentalist states who call for our destruction.

Nuclear powers over which we have no control.

And even if we navigate these dangerous waters, we face other, even more inevitable threats.

Global warming will melt the polar ice caps within 80 years, flooding 90% of all habitable areas on Earth.

Unchecked population growth will overtake food production in less than 50 years, leading to famine and war.

This is not conjecture. This is fact.

One way or another, our world is coming to an end.

Now, the question is, will we end with it?

465
00:55:12,977 --> 00:55:14,687
What do you propose?

466-478
00:55:16,481 --> 00:55:54,352
I propose that we end the world, but on our terms.

An orchestrated apocalypse, one that will cleanse the Earth of its population, but leave its infrastructure and resources intact.

It's been done once before...with great success.

The chosen few will ride out the storm, not in an Ark, as in the book of Genesis, but in safety, underground.

And when it's over, we will emerge onto a cleansed Earth, one that we can then reboot in our image.

479
00:55:54,435 --> 00:55:57,480
And just how do you intend to achieve this?

480-482
00:55:57,981 --> 00:56:05,780
The means of our salvation are already at hand.

I give to you the T-virus.

[Carr] I think that you do.

646
00:44:51,689 --> 00:44:52,951

How could you? I hid everything.

1373-1380
01:37:53,084 --> 01:38:15,541
-You can't know what I did.
-You infected Kay with the virus.
Then you engineered her escape using my pass.
After the field test, you thought you'd hedge your bets.
You learned Krupp was working inside for Blaine.
You found out from him they weren't immunized and Krupp helped you plant the pathogens.
You know nothing.
You knew and you did nothing.

1381-1388
01:38:15,585 --> 01:38:37,999
We've started production on a new vaccine that will save hundreds of thousands of lives, maybe millions.
The mungos were expendable, Briggs.
You knew that, so did they.
They're soldiers.
They signed their lives over to us to relieve their pain.
The prototypes gave their lives to advance science.
This is the way it works.
We own them. They serve us.

01:38:41,263 --> 01:38:42,394
You'll make a fortune.
