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'.

特效拉满。破坏力和想象力惊人。一度超越科幻片冲向神话、魔幻、异世界。最后结局甚至有点中二。各归其所。
再拍部续集，其实杀死的AI是真得想救地球，因为要遵守机器人规则，而想占领地球的是。。。
“现在你是月球的一部分了”
无端祸从天上来，月球变轨落残骸。三人小组急出征，拯救世界靠肥宅。
20/100 一点都不纯粹的罗兰艾默里奇，居然在灾难片中加入了科幻元素
按电视剧的番外看就也还好吧，居然看完了。。。嗯，忽略我还刷着小视频一起。。。
单论画面的话还是挺震撼，然后别的，还是就看看画面吧
罗兰·艾默里奇的灾难片从《后天》的惊艳到《2012》的宏大场面，科幻灾难片也有硬科幻的《独立日》。但是本片确实乏善可陈。结构上是传统的老套路结构，即双线并行，地上体验灾难，天上体现科幻（一线逃生，一线英雄主义拯救世界）。灾难的部分在前期铺垫之后，故事和情感大部分都落在了主角们的亲情上，逃生的过程中虽有大场面但整体格局很小，感觉只有这两家人在体验灾难。科幻上概念和脑洞是有的，但是缺乏可信度，代入感低。毕竟《后天》感觉真的会发生，《2012》当时甚至让很多人信以为真。作为硬科幻，面子不算新颖，里子依然还是AI叛乱的老梗，所展现特效和节奏也不能让爆米花族满意。影片质量还可以，故事整体还是偏无聊，睡了两次才看完。
会不会太扯了？万事皆可爆米花吧，只是我个人不是很喜欢。
哈莉 贝瑞 老了
“5、4……直接飞吧”看得出艾默里奇想要突破商业电影的剧情模式还是动了一些小心思，但是固化的故事情节还是让人有疲倦感，幸好还有视觉效果撑住场面，而艾默里奇电影中对科技滥用的担忧的表现，进一步升华了主题！
没想到这个ip用的挺好的呀。苏文兴个人传，这个比起电视剧，我更喜欢这个。梗玩得很6.
我可以接受月球是科技造物的设定，甚至喜闻乐见，但全片还是拍得像是闹着玩一样。WOT
故事大纲基本上是照抄帕尔玛的火星任务。。。
看了等於沒看，好像導演的作品都是這樣，類型也是科幻不科幻災難不災難的，劇情人物設定讓人尷尬，唯一還可看的是特效場景
我真的不敢相信这是之前拍过《后天》和《2012》的导演，整个场面的呈现在电影院应该还是能感受到特效的魅力的。问题是这是多弱智的一个剧本，构建了一个AI怪物，然后通过无聊的拖时长把整部电影拉长到2个小时，最后来个外星人的传说就结束了这么一个AI怪物。真的降智！还有于文文这个角色到底算什么？一边是拯救地球的太空戏，一边是主角儿子在地球上逃难记，怎么能够这么撕裂的拍这么诡异的一部片子。
剧情也好、特效也好，都停留在十多年前……于文文，谁在力捧她？
月球偏离轨道，地球即将灭亡。倒霉男女主开着破飞船前去猎杀月球上的大怪兽！结果发现月球居然是“祖先人类”和发疯AI对抗的高科技基地。总之最后一番骚操作，拯救了地球…
抛开剧情，特效和月球设定还是很不错的，电影院看真的很震撼。如果电影直接快进到进入太空、月球的部分会是很不错的灾难片。
虽然设定很有趣，但连导演自己都觉得扯，于是用了130分钟疯狂向观众解释合理性，使一部特效灾难爽片丧失了最基本的趣味性。
