當代科幻電影的十大老梗

BlockBuster Buzz 的一篇有趣文章，探討近年來科幻動作片的常見老梗設定。好玩的是，這十支梗中的前九項竟然可以寫成一句話：

A virus has decimated the population[,]
a virus that makes people insanely strong
which can only be resolved by a sassy female Special Forces operative
who's helped by a slumming British Thesp
who explains the Pop Science
which has made the whole world go a bit 'Mad Max'
except for the chief villain
who will take the sassy lead's gun away
and don't forget the product placement.

然後只能拿奧斯卡的 sound editing 或 visual effects。

原文針對每一項都有進一步的說明及影片佐證，連結在此：
