There are not many imported films worth looking forward to in August. The new blockbuster "Alien" in the "Alien" series, "Alien: Reaper", is almost the only one that stands out. Another one is "Love, Here" starring "Gossip Girl" Blake Lively.

There are also many blockbuster domestic films released during the summer vacation, including the dark horse "Safe Evacuation from the 21st Century", which has been screened for a long time and has been well received by movie fans.

Which one are you most looking forward to? Let’s take a look together——

——Introduction——

Alien: Death Stranding

Release date: August 16

"Alien: Reaper" is set between the original "Alien" (1979) and "Alien 2" (1986). It is directed by Fede Alvarez and stars Carrie Spaeny ("American Civil War"), Isabella Merced, Archie Renault and others.

The film tells the story of a group of young space colonists who accidentally encounter the most terrifying alien creature - the Alien - while exploring an abandoned space station, thus starting a battle for survival.

"Alien: Revenge" is directed by Alvarez ("Don't Breathe," "What to Expect," "The Evil Dead"), who started out as a horror film director. It is filled with a thrilling atmosphere and is worth looking forward to.

Love, So Far

Release date: August 30

"Love, So Far" is adapted from the best-selling novel of the same name. Lily Bloom (played by Blake Lively), who had a terrible childhood, bravely stepped out of the shadow of her family and started a new life.

When she met the handsome and wealthy neurosurgeon Lyle Kincaid (Justin Balduni), they fell in love at first sight, but Lily gradually saw a dark side in him, which reminded her of the tormented and painful relationship between her parents...‍

Although the story is not surprising, the configuration of handsome men and beautiful women with full chemistry is still very pleasing to the eye.

‍The film stars Blake Lively, the "Queen S" of "Gossip Girl", who recently voiced the "female Deadpool" in "Deadpool vs. Wolverine" to support her husband Ryan Reynolds.

In addition, the film’s leading actor, Justin Balduni, is also the director himself!

One Piece: Strong World

Release date: August 23

The "One Piece" (translated as "Navigation King" in China), the movie "One Piece: Strong World", which was released in Japan in 2009, will soon be released in domestic theaters.

There are so many "One Piece" movies, why this one?

The editor also wants to know.

——But no matter what the reason is, fortunately it can be released! Thankful that it can be released!

"One Piece: Strong World" is produced by Eiichiro Oda himself, and has a high score of 8.6 on Douban, making it a theatrical version with a very good reputation.

Wouldn’t it be great to relive the Straw Hat Pirates’ famous scenes on the screen!

Slam Dunk》(Re-screening)

Release date: August 3

"Slam Dunk" is being re-released on August 3, which is the day of the match between Shohoku and Sannoh in the film.

We can watch "Slam Dunk" on the screen again this summer. Who can tell whether it is 2023 or 2024 now?

——Domestic Films——

Safe Evacuation from the 21st Century

Release date: August 2

In 2009, director Li Yang became an Internet sensation with his animated short film "The Adventures of Li Xianji". Now, he has brought us a new work "Safe Evacuation from the 21st Century" with an even more "crazy" imagination.

A sneeze can lead to traveling through time and space, a box of game cards can transform you into a devil muscle man, a flock of crows can destroy the entire human society... These settings that will make your jaw hit the floor in the next second are commonplace for Li Yang.

In fact, "Safe Evacuation from the 21st Century" can be completely regarded as a stitched version of the settings of Li Yang's previous works: the game master/multiple time and space in "The Adventures of Li Xianji", the organ trafficking/good and evil in "Bad Future", and of course, his consistent theme - if we can have one more time, two more times... N more choices, will we be able to catch up again, the person who is destined to be lost by us?

Decryption

Release date: August 3

"Decoded" is adapted from the novel of the same name by writer Mai Jia. It tells the story of a mathematical genius Rong Jinzhen (played by Liu Haoran) who has shown amazing mathematical talent since childhood. After being raised by his distant relative, university president Xiao Lili (played by Daniel Wu), he met his lifelong mentor, close friend and "enemy" mathematician Heyes (played by John Cusack). Heyes inspired and guided Rong Jinzhen, and after he was introduced to the mysterious department "701", he became his lifelong opponent.

The film is directed by Chen Sicheng and Liu Haoran plays the leading role in a subversive look. Will the audience like the new movie they bring this time?

"Reverse Life"

Release date: August 9

Six years after starring in and producing "Dying to Survive", Xu Zheng returns to the summer season with his new reality-themed work "Reverse Life", focusing on "the strangers we are most familiar with" - the deliverymen.

However, as Xu Zheng said, the film is not just about deliverymen, but "focuses on all those who are working hard to live, including those who have experienced layoffs and unemployment, those who are burdened with mortgages, those who have elderly parents and young children to support, etc. The story tells that their families have fallen into a dark moment, and they have to work together to overcome the difficulties."

In other words, delivering food is just their job. The film focuses on the life stories behind their struggle to become the "single king" and how they move forward against the wind when faced with difficulties.

In today's market, this is not a subject that is easy to grasp the angle of. Let's see whether "Reverse Life" can bring us surprises!

White Snake: Floating Life

Release date: August 10

Following "White Snake: Origin" and "White Snake 2: Rise of the Green Snake", Light Chaser Animation launched the third work in the "White Snake" series, "White Snake: Floating Life".

This film tells the original story of White Snake. Xiaobai comes to the human world to look for Xu Xian, the reincarnation of A Xuan. The two meet, fall in love, stay together, and experience the world together.

The film will be released on August 10th at 13:14 on Chinese Valentine's Day, which is a very suitable schedule!
