A bizarre video of forward and reverse motions. (Note: Contains spoilers.)



What makes the protagonist of this film different from James Bond films is that the enemy he faces is a visitor from the future, and his advance goes against the flow of time. They use a system that controls the direction of time to interfere with the past.


As a result, this film presents extremely bizarre images in which the flow of time and the movements of each other collide in opposite directions. Every action scene is fresh and bizarre, from the unusual layout in which the subject moves forward while the surrounding movements are moving in reverse, to the gunfights and car chases with enemies moving in reverse.

Similar visual techniques have been used in recent films such as " Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them " (2016) and " Doctor Strange " (2016), in situations where time movement is reversed to halt collapse. However, it is rare for the symmetry and intersection of time to be visualized to this extent in a blockbuster production of this scale.


This breakdown in balance and common sense is the film's greatest feature, and also the point that has sparked controversy. People have said it's "beyond comprehension," "difficult," etc. However, since we have never seen such abstract depictions in a commercial feature film, it's no wonder people are perplexed and confused.


However, it is this kind of production that does not take the audience into consideration that leads to active participation in the work and encourages people to go to the theater again and again. The entertainment market has been forced to curb its spread due to the spread of the new coronavirus. This film may be a blessing in disguise for such an exhausted industry.
