Mind Tango in a sci-fi coat

A rare sci-fi recently, although it’s normal to have a low score, the look and feel is actually good, I often add these space aesthetics, the experience is good, but the problem is also obvious, the rhythm is a bit slow, and too many things are not clearly expressed, such as Why is the phenomenon of "electrophoresis" 30 years ago still the sword of Damocles hanging over the head, and what is its principle, it is unclear. And on the whole, elements of various types of films have been added to it, and it looks like "four dissimilarities": there are "space thrillers", literary arts, "space adventures", and even action scenes with unknown meanings, which make people feel incomprehensible. Know what it's talking about. In addition, the scene design and photography, as well as many pictures, are somewhat familiar. The visual sense of "Blade Runner 2049" and "Gravity" makes me a little dazed in some bridges. But in general, I still prefer this tone, and many long shots once again made me feel the throbbing of the space aesthetics brought to me. I personally think that compared to a rigorous sci-fi film, I prefer to regard it as a literary film with sci-fi elements, because except for the scene of the moon pirate attack, the rest of the sci-fi Elements really don't surprise me much. On the contrary, the inner competition and struggle of the character played by Pitt and the absolute calmness of the male protagonist who are forcibly suppressed make the film a lot more beautiful. In addition, the confrontation between the male protagonist and his father is really broken, there are no unexpected climaxes and contradictions, and the anti-social space new human father is simply banished. This is something I cannot accept well. All in all, this film is actually not suitable for shooting in space. It is better to set it in the South Pole. In an extreme environment, the mental journey and competition between father and son will be better. In contrast, the elements of space and science fiction are really boring. .

    [82 points] An extremely romantic real space road film, from the earth to the moon, from Mars to Jupiter and Saturn, and then to Neptune at the end. Each place shows a different hue and the environment is memorable (especially Mars). A journey to explore the human spirit. The whole film focuses on the character of Brad Pitt, and uses very beautiful lens editing to show the helplessness in space and the former family love. The whole film uses a lot of narration, and some effective parts are still a bit unnecessary. For example, in the third act, there are a lot of facial close-ups enough to show the content next to them. The supporting roles aren't completely useless, allowing the audience to see that at different times in space, different threats show different humanity, without the good part of being human. The whole film gives a lot of 2001, flying into space (multiple aspects, like some flashbacks to Liv Tyler's character lighting and feel, architectural sets in various places, etc.). If you didn't like Gray before, this one isn't for you. In addition, the moon racing is quite new, but it is not as shocking as the rocket on Mars.

    "Dad loves me again", the plot and sci-fi settings are quite mindless, the rhythm is very hypnotic, and it is supported by Pete's face value. The lunar and Jupiter living bases that are no different from the earth are still a bit new, but then a long trip is a clockwork voice? How does his father plan to live alone in outer space? Learning Matt Damon to grow potatoes is more realistic than here.
