Red One Story
Red One is a film filled with adventure and excitement in its scenes. It is based on the idea of a mythic world with strange characters 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 special power that lets him 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 start to escalate as they try to rescue him, prevent wasting Christmas Eve in vain, and stop his kidnappers from using his unique power in their crazy plan.
The movie looks great at first, and we will watch a very entertaining film, but the fun comes in bursts, thanks to Dwayne Johnson, the hero called Commander Drift, along with the second hero, Chris Evans, who plays Jack.
The movie's pace is fun and engaging, thanks to its unique characters. However, there are some points that will be discussed in detail here, and ultimately, you are free to evaluate the movie and share your opinion.
Movie Details
The idea of a mythical world hidden from people's eyes wasn't bad, but it deserved more attention because it seemed designed only for the film's heroes. Also, the unique power of Santa Claus can't 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, like kidnapping Santa Claus to use his unique power? Instead, she wanted to eliminate annoying or naughty children, which is a weak plan because the logic of evil doesn't align with doing good for the world—getting rid of those who could eventually be the root of evil.
There is another perspective here: she isn't really an evil witch, but rather she has a noble goal — to eliminate naughty children who could become criminals or troublemakers later in life. Still, her methods are just evil, which creates an ironic situation, as you can see.
The other thing is, what will she gain from all of this?
The witch also has great power, but we rarely see her use it in the film. Her senses sharpen whenever her name is mentioned. She is also Lord Krampus's lover and supports his idea of making 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 absurd and contradict the logic of the characters in the film?
The adventure and excitement weren't at their height, even though the film was made to give viewers that adventurous thrill. If you're making a film that doesn't have enough depth in its story, you need to engage the audience with scenes full of adventure and excitement, providing them with the right amount of power.
Also, the hero's presence here didn't bring anything new or introduce any changes that would improve the film; instead, it was very traditional.
I felt that the film only appealed to young viewers who want to see movies with adventure and action, regardless of any flaws in the story and plot.
The cost of making a movie like this is somewhat overstated, 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 significance 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 fairly good, the acting is quite good, the casting and placement fit the story well, and the film's premise is solid.
Some of Chris Evans's paternal affection was genuine, and his goal of bringing happiness to children and their families is a wonderful aim, especially on Christmas Eve.
I couldn't think of anything else honestly worth saying was good. I don't mean to mock the film or its actors, but in my humble opinion, it's only suitable for a certain age group. It also could have used a bit more focus on the story and plot.
