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'.

居然是个网大？你让那些恨不得负分的洗钱之作，颜面何存。景色很美，故事有细节，虽然有很多不完美，但是就像刚刚看到的，国产小成本做成这样，这种认真的态度不值得褒扬和祝福吗？！
我很喜欢的一位自媒体博主郑雷自编自导的处女作，全片只有三个演员的小成本电影，国产电影中极其少有的软科幻题材。平行世界的设定虽说早已不新鲜，片中也能看到《恐怖游轮》和《彗星来的那一夜》的影子，但也是国产电影的一次进步。毕竟还被美国买了版权。概念设定很吸引人，但线索过于浮于表面，而且对话对信息的解释过多，本应该让观众带着疑问随着故事的进行自己去发现的核心设定，却早早地被对话透了底，打破了本片最大的麦格芬，直接破坏了影片的悬疑气氛，并且故事方面也过于简单，很多地方都可以伸展开却没了下文，比如可以让女主在结尾被远处击中，首尾呼应让故事形成一个闭环。影片优点也不少，逻辑能自洽，无明显bug，细节线索出色。完成度很高，整体瑕不掩瑜，能看得出用了心。多给一颗星鼓励一下为华语电影创新的新导演吧，7分。
基本沿用了彗星来的那一夜设定，男主演的比女主好，整体质感还挺不错的，值得一看。
低配版于和伟霍思燕火风上演了彗星来的那一夜
还可以，就是太缺钱了故事没讲圆。另，那些看见平行时空这类元素就开始炸毛喊抄袭抄袭的人，电影看的也太少吧
电影平行世界的设定很不错，但是导演不知道怎么填坑。
生怕观众看不懂，片名就说明了平行空间。小成本拍的不错。
多人版《恐怖游轮》+《彗星来的那一夜》
小成本，编导一体，整体质量把控还算过得去。但这个虫洞界点也是太省了点，看到头也没搞清楚到底从哪穿越的。另外人物的动机总感觉有点怪怪的，说不上哪里不对劲。
演员的演技真的不行，剧情也撑不起这种平行空间的设定
国产版《彗星来的那一夜》+《恐怖游轮》 小成本 还是不错的
保利 虽说概念不新鲜，节奏感和悬疑度也差点，不过小成本还是弄得有点意思，而且不太烧脑容易接受，多一星鼓励。好莱坞翻拍估计会加料吧。
真的很小成本制作，全片一个地点，三个演员讲了不同平行空间故事，还算有趣，只是没什么引起人们情绪变化的情节，导演不如再接再励搞个森林惊悚虐杀片。想看国产电影可以看看

彗星来那一夜国产版 国产的缺点就是话太多！！！生怕观众没脑子
低配版《彗星来的那一夜》+《恐怖游轮》。虽然电影就拍摄制作而言还算可以，但故事剧情个人感觉还是略显乏味。末尾还出现《闪灵》的简短画面。
真的挺不错！
2梦境，颅内出血48h
半夜看的，困到模糊，节奏慢演技差，但是整体情节、感觉还行……
核心概念以及核心场景都是抄袭的，相当于是一部《时空罪恶》的仿写版本
