No matter the editing rhythm or the sound effect processing, the film presents a kind of interstellar calm, but the waves are turbulent under the calm water. As each question is answered, the huge truth behind it is revealed step by step. The surprise lies in the brain-burning feeling brought by the deep thinking behind the sensory experience.
The plot design of the falling atmosphere in the opening chapter is amazing, creating a sense of urgency, while the background music and editing rhythm remain stable, reflecting the protagonist's extraordinary psychological quality, and all kinds of exquisite physical details are also introducing themselves to the audience. essence. The film is set in the not-so-distant future. Astronauts going to the moon are as common as taking a flight, and the lunar base is like an airport with stalls and vending machines. This film is close to reality, from the small scenes to the costumes and other art designs, without deliberately creating a sci-fi feeling. With this film's delicate grasp of science, this anti-drama treatment is more realistic and full of humanistic feelings. The setting of the moon-like concept of the New West is very attractive, the pirate pursuit is more oppressive under the silent nature of the vacuum environment, and it also satirizes the human nature that is difficult to change no matter where you are. Having said that, what kind of strength can make these pirates fight with the government on the moon with the same or even slightly better strength?
The plot design of responding to a distress signal and encountering a primate attack is also brilliant, eliciting angry memories of his father in the protagonist's self-report. The handling of the fight with the members in the rocket is also quite exciting, and it truly presents the physical environment of space. Because of this plot, the son goes into a situation similar to his father, which enhances the potential subtle connection between the two.
The nearly 80-day lonely journey that followed brought about a double change in the son's body and mind. It is conceivable that the father also experienced the same feeling. When the two finally met, the director's handling of emotions was delicate and full, allowing the audience to deeply understand the father's character image and ideological character.
Overall, I think this is a good enough hard sci-fi genre film, and if you are a hard sci-fi fan, this movie is definitely worth trying.
Little doubt: why would you throw the corpse into the universe and not bring it back under the conditions? Wouldn't it create space junk?
