Sixty Glorious Years is an exercise in the creation of iconography, both for Victoria and its star, Anna Neagle (who subsequently became known as 'Regal Neagle'). Just as Elizabeth I commissioned artists to create flattering iconic images for public consumption, so this film performs a similar function, for Neagle is more beautiful than the real life Victoria. Controversial events (such as the 'Irish problem') are omitted and unpleasant aspects of Victoria's character (her petulance, arrogance, favouritism and 'right to privilege') are glossed over as endearing little 'whims'. Albert acts as a moderating influence when she goes too far.
The film followed a year after the highly successful Victoria the Great (d. Herbert Wilcox, 1937). Again the screenplay is by Miles Malleson and Robert Vansittart, and many of the supporting cast (the cream of acting talent of period) repeat their roles, this time for the colour cameras. This was the first full length Technicolor film of cinematographer Freddie Young, who captures the spectacle of royal weddings, grand balls and opulent interiors, with scenes actually filmed at royal palaces. Vivid battle scenes, set in Alexander Korda's empire territory (Sevastopol and the Sudan), rival those in The Four Feathers (d. Zoltan Korda 1939).
The title music sets the tone: a regal choir sings over a shot of the crown. Elgar's 1901 'Pomp and Circumstance' march is heard during the diamond jubilee celebrations and, as Victoria's coffin lies in state, the film concludes with Anthony Collins' stately music accompanied by the text of Rudyard Kipling's 'Lest we forget'. Combined with the emotional appeal of scenes of Victoria connecting with her 'ordinary folk', this is stirring stuff.
The film connects with contemporary events of 1938. The release of two celebratory royal films was intended to boost public affection for the monarchy in the wake of Edward VIII's abdication. Anglo-German relations were another touchy subject. With another war on the horizon, influential voices wanted appeasement, and the film could be seen to fit that agenda. Victoria herself was of mainly German descent, nicknamed 'the grandmother of Europe', while Albert is a 'good German', charmingly played by Anton Walbrook as a cultured, decent man.
Sixty Glorious Years now seems unduly formal and reverential. Had movies existed during Victoria's reign (they only emerged at the end) this might have been the kind of film produced. Unlike Mrs Brown (d. John Madden, 1997), it is all so very 'Victorian'.

也没有那么糟糕，只是这么多名演员凑一块不该是这个结果，没看浪姐的人应该不熟悉于文文，说实话本来还有一定好感，放到这部片里又觉得太违和了
天上是三个准备牺牲自己拯救地球的太空人，地上是为了生存不停逃命的普通人，剧情的呈现可能只是差强人意，但情感共鸣确实蛮不错的
2022年第28部。
6分。2012+独立日掺和到一起，就成了这么个垃圾。好莱坞的灾难片真的是不用再拍了，30年前可能还会感到有些新鲜，如今看看，真的是套路得完全没法看了。永远都是无能的政府加上英雄的主角，然后民科永远提前发现各种灾难，依靠着那么一两个人莫名其妙就拯救了世界。灾难那块随便你填台风/地震/陨石/火山等等。视觉奇观这种，看多了也就这样了哎，成本么还高的吓人。。。
「空心月球阴谋论」大杂烩啊……我能理解这电影为什么在海外卖的不好了，因为核心创意真的已经太老套了……灾难片的核心元素，一是令人恐惧的灾难场景，二是令人揪心的亲情，二者结合才能产生灾难片的化学反应——人们喜欢看灾难片是因为它要在真的恐惧和游乐场的惊吓之间找到平衡。但「空心月球阴谋论」就让观众失去了恐惧的理由——因为它真的太扯了……
看来杰克·吉伦哈尔演反派上瘾了，确实是因为他看的这部电影，其他演员都很不自然。不得不承认“卖拷贝”的动作片过时了，不止是剧本漏洞太多还有节奏有很大问题，如果不这么长也许缺点还暴露的少点。不过疫情期间我很珍惜每一部好莱坞大片，影院视听效果绝对是顶级的。
故事不好看，电影很刺激！
演员都很喜欢，虽然年龄都大了，还是很好看。……这个剧情真的一言难尽，和所有的老美灾难片都是一个模子，然后在父子关系上，竟然是《流浪地球》的。……华谊兄弟投资，中国元素也不少，旗下艺人加拿大籍于文文参演，她也是王中磊绯闻女友？……如果不是特别挑剔，还是挺好看的，这种灾难片+科幻片类型电影就是不能较真的。
我只能说，CG做的非常好看，建议下次不要再拍了。
这篇评分低的很大原因是大家对于科幻片的标准比以前高了。以前的科幻片只要脑洞够大、视觉够爆、节奏够快、故事没明显逻辑bug，就算合格。近几年互联网让信息获取更简单，电影里不那么科学的情节便无处遁形，格外刺眼了；另外，像星际穿越、火星救援等“硬科幻”也提升了观众的审美和要求。同样的电影放在十年前也许评价完全不同呢。罗兰还是没能跟上时代吧。
看着豆瓣这么低的打分真想给五星补偿一下，真是不识货啊。不说别的，迈克尔贝的节奏感把控始终在线，一百一十分钟高强度紧抓住观众注意力，现在有几个导演能做到？那些给低分的你回头看看自己给四星五星的电影观看过程中，有多少次摸了手机？吉伦哈尔表现优异，把一个挣扎坚持矛盾的悍匪，演得入骨三分，真值得一个奖像。
个人观感：《月球陨落》＜《不要抬头》。—— 上映前本来还期待是「罗兰·艾默里奇」的又一部《2012》《后天》《独立日》，结果只是又一部《独立日2：卷土重来》《史前一万年》。
都是2012和后天的cliché，关于我们起源与一切的真相何时才能揭露？？
全方位的过时。再次证明了灾难与科幻两个类型的相通，以及它们出身恐怖、神秘主义、剥削的廉价娱乐基因。
迈克尔贝还是舍得花钱的。 动作戏与大场面的水准还是毋庸置疑的，就是太磨叽，太长了。 最后对黑人罪犯的见死不救是个惊喜point，味儿对了！This is America，mother fucker！（冲这个多打一星）
不过拍摄中使用无人机的场景调度可圈可点，迈克尔·贝招牌追车让本片加到3星。
我是真没想到这片子的走向竟然如此离谱……剧本仿佛是几个编剧分头写的然后彼此不知道写的什么导演直接缝合，从灾难片开始，出现太空怪物，穿插人类内斗、素鸡追车，最后到宇宙科幻，当Patrick Wilson饰演的男主被月球AI告知人类起源真相时我已经放弃思考let it go了……看完电影出来我的灵魂感觉都被抽走了一部分，艾默里奇老湿您还好吗？？？不过PW还是好帅的~ 一星……半吧！
标准美国科幻大片。参考影片《世界末日 Armageddon (1998)》
真灾难，假科幻，看到反派是AI就想笑。没有啥新意的流水线产品。
