      The box of time and space already exists

      Originally, I always thought that it was when it came from a comet that the time and space split, but when I thought about it carefully, I suddenly realized that something was wrong.

      In the so-called "perfect space", it was mentioned that the original Em's chief position will not be replaced, but in the perspective of Em, who we have been following, she missed this opportunity, and this event was long before the comet came. It has already appeared, indicating that the point of...

      Finding "self" in a different world

      Intertwine the chaotic lives in parallel time and space, and find your true self in another "world"; the film interprets the authenticity of various theories in parallel time and space in the form of physical hypotheses, when all appear in the multiverse Each self does not belong to the present, so the problem of human life can only be completed through self-redemption; at the same time, every opening of the protagonist's brain is enough to explain that everyone can become a visitor to a...

      The best world is not the best self

      This is the first time I write a movie review. This movie is not the best I have seen, but it is definitely the top three
      because I am very fascinated by Inception-type movies. I saw a recommendation on Weibo and found the resources of station B. The
      first ten minutes are boring enough scenes. The cut was very sudden and kept shaking like a home video.
      I thought there was nothing to explode. I just wanted to quit and saw the sandalwood above: Is it possible that someone has...

      The choice of whether the comet will come or not is doomed

      After watching it for a long time, I have almost forgotten the names of the characters in the plot. There are vaguely good friends, couples, exes, and currents, but there is no tearing. When the comet comes, time and space can travel, and parallel spaces can be interlaced. As early as the first time people meet in the first house, they are like a mess of playing cards, made fun of by fate.
           Familiar people stage disproportionate dialogues, and the screenwriter's small details are...

      A bug about this film and many time-travel movies

      List one has a point of view: in the setting of the movie, different parallel universes will be generated when the characters make choices after the comet comes, and then a series of plots will unfold between the protagonists in these parallel universes. List one emphasizes that the film uses the behavior of character selection to symbolize the action of "observation" in the quantum field. Every time a choice is made (equivalent to one observation of the quantum field), several parallel...

      The constant black screen segmentation is great, and the horror effect is so well done that I don't really care about anything else. The closeness of the scene is well done to properly explain the coherence and the root of the group play. It may be good for the heroine to go out of the room to find what she wants, but it still forms gaps and...

      Multi-dimensional travel through the brain-burning sci-fi film, low-cost chaotic group theater indoor drama. The whole film is just the story of a meal, which draws out the daily trivialities of a group of men and women, but there are grass snakes and gray lines everywhere, foreshadowing the whole film. It's just that I'm not good at this, and I have no interest in brushing it...

      In fact, I really want to complain that it's this time, people still care about feelings and that little shit, and why is it that these people are all together in parallel, can't their life trajectories be far apart? But the idea is still quite...

    Movie plot

    Eight friends gathered for an informal dinner, and comet was only one of the topics at first. Amy ( Emily Baldoni ) is more concerned about the existence of Laurie ( Lauren Maher ) . She is a "shrew" type of person. She cares about who ever went out with Amy's boyfriend Kevin ( Maury Sterling ) . While Beth ( Elizabeth Ward ) complained about the poor feng shui of the house’s “porch”, actor Mike ( Nicky ) endured the humiliation that...

    Evaluation action

    Although the cost of "The Night Comes" is low, the film's ability to use suspense to catch people is quite deep. As long as the first ten minutes of being a little sloppy, any curious audience will be firmly attracted. In fact, even for those seemingly aimless chats, each paragraph is closely related to the theme, and is addressed one by one after the main line is unfolded. And the biggest burden was tied up even before the party...

    • [last lines]

      Kevin: [his phone ringing] That's weird. It's you calling me. Hello?

    • Laurie: Em, you seem to be the comet expert here. What happened the last time?

      Em: This one passed over a hundred years ago, but much farther.

      Laurie: But do we know about anything that happened?

      Em: Nothing happened then, it was too far away.

      Laurie: So, is there any reason we should be freaked out right now?

      Em: Well, I mean, it is a lot closer this time.

      Laurie: What does that mean?

      Em: Okay. I read one more thing...

      Lee: Oh, another story!

      Em: Just one more. It's called the Tunguska Event, and, um, it was a comet or a meteor or something like that, that entered the atmosphere over Siberia and exploded over Earth. So it didn't actually have physical impact. It didn't touch Earth, it didn't leave a crater or anything, but the force of that explosion flattened trees for hundreds of miles. But it only killed about one to two people.

      Laurie: It's Siberia. There were probably only two people there.

      Em: Yeah, but they don't necessarily...

      Mike: [jokingly] It wiped out the population of Siberia.

      Laurie: Basically, yeah.

      Em: Right.

      Laurie: Well, that doesn't make me feel better.

      Kevin: And when was this?

      Em: It was like, in 1908, 1903...

      [Suddenly they hear someone banging on the door and get startled]

    • Amir: [Looking at his picture from inside the box] This was taken tonight.

      Em: What? How do you know that?

      Amir: I bought this sweater today, so that's from tonight.
