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'.

大场面挺好的 就是这绿幕扣得也太烂了吧… 人物跟纸片人似的飘在背景前…
好歹也是艾默里奇啊，找的这都什么咖，男主儿子从头到尾一个表情一个嗓音，塞进去的华裔演员格格不入，杀手山姆演个小配角还行，上男二有些难挑大梁，最惨的是哈莉贝瑞，电影到一半我都没认出来是她，真是泯然于众人...
整挺好，但是就是没办法给四颗星，怎么回事儿呢，委屈。🥺
还是用了3个午休时间（睡着了3次，相当于催眠了），咬牙看完了。漂亮国主旋律，硬伤太多，正常人都能看出来。仅次于希特勒月球秘密基地反攻地球这种离大谱的剧情。但是公平地讲，也还是有一些原创性的，月球内部结构什么的，总得去构想是吧？整部片就勉强能看的程度。在科幻片鄙视链中垫个底吧，星际穿越这种天花板，就不用拿出来比较了。
每个演员似乎心里都在想：“赶紧拍完，各回各家”
一星给片头曲“我祈求非洲大雨倾盆～”
从剧本到导演、演员、特效...，最后到观众，全部都在敷衍了事。
确实太无聊了，坚持看了将近50分钟，实在是看不下去了，之前看过电视剧，就看了一下这个电影，没想到这么无聊。
为什么要在这种片子里盘逻辑找科学依据？故事说得过去特效看得爽不就够了吗？属实是不太懂现在的豆瓣er打分标准了😅😅😅哈利贝瑞还是那么美！想起上大学的某年痴迷用同学的军用望远镜在14层平台窥探月亮，当用高倍望远镜第一次大概看清月球表面的时候，差点把它扔了，然后就每天看每天怕，怕到跑回寝室然后第二天继续，好像有种魔力。但如果地球出现电影上那么大的月亮，我可能会直接吓死过去吧。
可能设定本身就是最大的原罪吧，好好地灾难片非要加入科幻元素，我就是单纯的想看月球毁灭，结果告诉我月球是人造的，空心内部亿万年前人类最后残存的家园。所以落点是让现在的人类警惕AI意识觉醒吗？灾难不够灾，科幻不够新，亲情不够煽，逻辑又太多硬伤，确实是泛善可陈，9点多亿的投资，华谊实惨！
没有那么好，也没有那么差。身处灾难中，真是不想看灾难片。
这不是《权力的游戏》版《火星任务》？虽然核心概念都是抄的，但无论制作还是导演水平真的略好于《流浪地球》吧。
很好的大片，并不单那么薄套路的受不了，美国人拯救地球不应该是低分的依据，不是只有吴京配拯救地球，这片子比流浪地球更震撼，月地相撞的瞬间有点不疼不痒了，这个不满意，应该更震撼一些，比如山脉断裂那种，不过整体还是很给力的，有独立日的观感和套路，不过不影响他好看！
主角团进入月球后的情节可以一看，仅此而已。
月球那段拿出來深挖 再去掉一下沒啥意義的人物線感覺會更好一些
口水戏太多。
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.
虽然后面的剧情有点扯，但整体其实也没那么烂
我觉得有点小浮夸，不过喜欢这个设定，其实设定挺好的，地球线也挺有真实感觉的。
这片子不是不行，不是摆烂，反而是野心太大了，罗兰艾默里奇似乎用全片在控诉为什么《异形》不给他拍，《降临》不给他拍，《星战》也不给他拍，他不是只会拍灾难片，毕竟《独立日》是科幻类型在前，而事实证明，做减法对艾默里奇的作品更友好
