Red One Story
Red One is a film filled with adventure and excitement in its scenes. It relies on the idea of a mythic world with strange characters that are hidden from our real world. Only a few leaders know about this world, which is heavily protected from ordinary people. The story becomes problematic when someone manages to break into this world and kidnaps one of its most important figures, Santa Claus. Santa has a unique power that allows him to travel around the world in just one night—Christmas Eve—to deliver gifts to every house. His goal is to bring joy to children and happiness to many people.
And when he is kidnapped, the events of the film begin to escalate to rescue him, not waste Christmas Eve in vain, and stop his kidnappers from using his unique power in their crazy plan.
The movie looks amazing at first glance, and we will watch a very enjoyable film, but then the fun comes at intervals, thanks to the abilities of Dwayne Johnson, the hero of the movie who is called Commander Drift, along with the presence of the second hero, Chris Evans, who plays Jack.
The pace of the movie is fun and enjoyable, thanks to its distinctive characters. However, there are some points that will be discussed in detail here, and in the end, you have complete freedom to evaluate this movie and share your opinion.
Movie Details
The idea of a mythical world hidden from people's eyes wasn't bad, but it deserved a bit more attention because it seemed designed only for the film's heroes. Also, the unique power of Santa Claus cannot protect its owner from being kidnapped, which is a little strange, but the filmmakers didn't need depth or accuracy in such a film. They were aiming for adventure and excitement, which were also limited and came in intervals.
Wouldn't it have been better if the witch had a stronger and more evil goal, such as kidnapping Santa Claus to use his unique power? Instead, she wanted to get rid of annoying or naughty children, which is a very weak plan, because the logic of evil doesn't align with doing something good for the world—getting rid of those who could eventually be the core of evil.
There is another perspective here: she isn't truly an evil witch, but rather she has a noble goal — to eliminate naughty children who might become criminals or troublemakers later in life. However, her methods are simply evil, and this creates an ironic situation, as you can see.
The other thing is, what will she gain from all of this?
The witch also possesses great power, but we rarely see her use it in the film. Her senses become sharper whenever her name is mentioned. She is also Lord Krampus's lover and supports his idea of creating a list of naughty children, which Santa Claus strongly opposes. However, Lord Krampus steps in to stop her from carrying out her plan.
Aren't all of these things really ridiculous and contradict the logic of the characters in the film?
The adventure and excitement weren't at their peak, even though the film was made to provide viewers with that adventurous thrill. If you're creating a film that lacks enough depth in its story, you need to engage the audience with scenes full of adventure and excitement, giving them the right amount of power.
Also, the hero's presence here didn't bring anything new or introduce any changes that would enhance the film; instead, it was very traditional.
I felt that the film only appealed to young minds, who want to see a movie with adventure and action, regardless of any flaws in the story and plot.
The cost of making a movie like this is somewhat exaggerated, even with its many stars. The final result was weak and unsatisfying to viewers, who expected a story with depth, excitement, action, and adventure. Instead, it focused only on the last, lacking quality, and dropped to an average level.
note
Carrots seem to hold special meaning in Red One, as they are both the reindeer's food and the snowmen's weakness, and my mind briefly wandered, expecting them to appear in the final scene.
Advantages of Red One
The visual and sound effects are good in the film, the cinematography is also good, the directing is somewhat good, the acting is fairly good, the casting and placement relate well to the story, and the film's premise is solid.
Some of Chris Evans's paternal affection was genuine, and the aim of bringing happiness to children and their families is a wonderful goal, especially on Christmas Eve.
I couldn't think of anything else I could honestly say was good, and I don't mean to mock the film or its actors, but it's definitely only appropriate for a certain age group, in my humble opinion. It also could have benefited from a bit more attention to the story and plot.
