After the premiere of "tomorrow's edge", Roger Ebert, a famous film critic, published his short review in the Chicago Sun.
"For a commercial film, Paul Greengrass has injected his own characteristics, fast and sharp editing and bright and compact rhythm, which makes the viewing process full of fascinating pleasure and joy; The lifelike and weightless performance of Langley hall endows the film with more mature characteristics, finding a balance between business and art. The most important part is that his chemical reaction with other supporting actors makes the whole film outstanding. "
In fact, Roger also wrote a long review on his official website, which put "tomorrow's edge" and "Groundhog Day" together, compared and discussed each other, and really talked about the topic of reincarnation. On the basis of Daisy Lucas, he further discussed the core theme of the film.
At the end of the long review, Roger wrote, "in fact, it's a movie about life, about growth and about fate. The director skillfully placed all artistic discussions on the actors, and then devoted himself to making a commercial popcorn movie. Obviously, the director succeeded. "

The North American box office of the latter two exceeded 400 million US dollars, really detonating the market; At the same time, the latter two also entered the competition of the award season that year.
Although the box office results of "tomorrow's edge" are unknown for the time being, it is certain that professional film critics are in constant pursuit!
In addition to professional film critics, the reputation of "tomorrow's edge" has also ushered in a full-scale outbreak. The freshness index of rotten tomatoes is as high as 95%, and the score has also reached 8.4. 295 media have participated in the review, and they still maintain such a high level. For commercial film, it is really commendable, Once again, it reminds people of the "Avengers alliance" which is being popular.
After the premiere, the media comprehensive evaluation and rotten tomato index are all the criteria for evaluating a film. Because the audience base is not enough, other evaluation criteria are not available for the time being. However, after the premiere weekend, the "tomorrow's edge" also ushered in a full-scale outbreak above other indicators.
The score of IMDB actually reached an incredible 8.6, and its momentum was bravely introduced into the list of 250 classic films. It ranked in the top 30 and temporarily settled in the 27th place. The front one was "very suspect", and the back one was "this killer is not too cold". The fierce momentum was just astonishing.

How rare is a +? In the whole year of 2011, only six films got such scores, with an average of one in two months!
The statistical object of cinema score is every ordinary audience who walks into the cinema. Their evaluation has the most intuitive and effective effect on the box office trend of commercial films. "A +" is almost equivalent to full score, impeccable full score. Any film with such achievements is worth looking forward to in the future box office trend. By the way, the cinema score of "Avatar" is "a".
From professional film critics to senior fans, from mass film critics to ordinary audiences, "tomorrow's edge" has really ushered in the popularity of the whole line. This achievement has reached a new high in lanli's career, and also reached a new high in all other actors and crew members! Even more powerful than the Avengers!
Any repetition is dull, just list all the scores, which is the best deterrent, enough to make every competitor fear.
As a matter of fact, the other two works in the super schedule are completely downwind and completely suppressed.
Prometheus, media review, 65 points; Rotten tomato index, 73%, scored 7 points; Popcorn index, 68 percent; IMDB score, 7 points; Cinema score, B.
"Madagascar 3", media comprehensive evaluation, 60 points; Rotten tomato index, 79%, 6.8 points; Popcorn index, 73%; The score of IMDB was 6.9; Cinema score, a.
In summary, "Prometheus" is relatively dominant in professional reviews; And "Madagascar 3" is in the ordinary audience, get more affirmation.
The most likely result of this situation is that "Prometheus" won't be popular, which is very similar to the trend of "alien" series; And "Madagascar 3" is not a good hit, and the first two series of films are basically consistent with the trend.
However, the box office trend of the film market is unpredictable, and the book calculation on paper can not be converted into box office figures after all. Outstanding reputation, the actual street; Or word-of-mouth, the actual harvest, such a number of actual cases, in the final analysis, word-of-mouth and box office conversion ratio, which is elusive.
"Tomorrow's edge", "Prometheus" and "Madagascar 3" are three works of competition, the outcome is still unpredictable.
Nevertheless, after the hot comments from all sides, the media will inevitably explode!
Following the upsurge of the premiere, "tomorrow's edge" is the next city, leading the media and audience's reputation in an all-round way. In particular, IMDB's real-time score has made it into the top 30, truly showing people the powerful posture of "Inception" and "Dark Knight", which makes people wonder, Is this year's blue ceremony going to enter the award season with "tomorrow's edge"?
"Pirates of the Caribbean" did it that year. It won an Oscar nomination for Best Actor for Johnny Depp. Although it didn't win the award, it still wrote brilliance; Now, as the favorite of the college, lanli seems to be moving towards this road, which is definitely the hottest focus of attention this summer.
One step at a time, the abyss of "tomorrow's edge", which is never expected, is turning the situation bit by bit. First, on top of the premiere, it seized the commanding height of the topic; And then on top of the feedback word-of-mouth, with an absolute advantage. Powerful momentum almost no one can stop, and burst out of the potential of a skyrocketing.
This is really too strong.
Just ten months ago, when the project of "tomorrow's edge" was officially established, Warner Bros. announced the candidate for the leading actor, and lanli became the final candidate. Therefore, lanli also gave up the opportunity to perform the sequel of "speed and passion", which caused numerous disputes and discussions.
It is generally believed that this is a stupid choice, and it is a wrong choice. Many people accuse Langley of seeing money and giving up the actor's insistence in order to get ten million dollars. This is undoubtedly a bad choice to ruin his career. Some people even associate this decision with George Clooney's performance of "Batman and Robin" and "Batman and Robin" Ben Affleck's role as "the devil of the night" is comparable.
Now, after the official release of "tomorrow's edge", it has not only received unanimous praise in the commercial level, but also received professional recognition in the performance and art level. After "speed and passion 5", Langley once again proved that commercial films can also have acting skills. This turnaround has won both a beautiful and a clean victory, leaving no controversy behind and killing all the controversies simply and clearly.
After the closing of the Oscar ceremony in February, Langley undoubtedly stood on the top of the storm and won the Oscar at the age of 22. It was too young and enviable. Countless critical eyes focused on him. Even when he went to the west end of London, he avoided most of the slander and speculation, But the sight waiting for Lan Li to fall is still countless.
Obviously, "tomorrow's edge" has become such a vent.
Unfortunately, the opponents are doomed to disappointment.
Apart from the box office results, "tomorrow's edge" has a good reputation, especially for the affirmation and support of lanli's acting skills, which has doomed lanli to an invincible position and proved his absolute strength once again. Obviously, this "tomorrow's new star" has a firm foothold in the industry, Then lanli will go a step further and really step into the front line!
Both the opponents and supporters have realized that they may be witnessing the birth of history, and Generation Y may really have a superstar of top beam style. After Chris Hemsworth's box office defeat, Langley has rekindled hope again, which is good news for the whole industry.
Naturally, all eyes are focused on the weekend box office charts in the second week of June.
Can the box office data predicted by the media be realized now“ Can "Prometheus" break the shackles of word of mouth and realize the counter attack“ Can "Madagascar 3" continue the advantage of the audience's word-of-mouth and create good results“ Can "tomorrow's edge" make a breakthrough with the help of the liveliness and reputation of the premiere?
Most importantly, can hot spots and word of mouth be converted into box office?
