You may be complaining about yourself

First of all, the movie mentions the nuances of gravity between the planet where human beings live and the earth. It is impossible to ignore the weightlessness factor. When everyone sees a sci-fi movie, they think of the type of movie "gravity". If you were on a spacecraft at that time If the problem of gravity cannot be solved, human life in space will be impossible. Judging from the special effects level of the film, it is definitely not that Smith did not consider the guns of the "StarCraft" type, but everyone knows how many bullets on average can resist the Zerg. A gun without bullets is not as good as a knife. Humans need to reflect on going out of the earth. The large-scale weapons on the earth waste human resources and cannot survive (for example, a meal is 20 yuan, and a plane is hundreds of millions, so the people are suffering for the army). Weapons are good enough, and it is even better if they can be reused. They are exercising their bodies for combat effectiveness instead of blindly developing weapons. In the life of the earth, those simple, practical and small life-saving tools reflect technology. How can you walk hundreds of kilometers when you are going to take a lot of people in the wild like now? This is why Middle Eastern styles such as bamboo rafts appear in the film. The East is an ancient country with an ancient culture, and many cultural philosophies are stronger than those of the West. The plot assumes that the earth will perish because of westernized technology. In the future, when human beings lose the earth and become nomads, they should be the same as nomads. What is simple and what is used (human beings are no longer rich and rich, but poor as a whole), that sail The building is automatically lighted, and the air is used to save energy. The frescoes in the movie are precisely reflecting this kind of Zen and philosophy.
Secondly, it is too easy to say that there are no water monsters and the last big boss in this film, because you have not understood the plot setting of the movie. It is normal that the river water will drop rapidly at night when the temperature difference is very large and there will be no water monsters in the frozen water. At the beginning of the film, Big Smith said that danger is a state, but fear is a choice. The last big boss is based on the human body's fear of breathing and heart rate, temperature and infrared to lock the target, which is why in the end Little Smith lay on the cliff and recalled his sister's death when he was no longer afraid, the monsters basically couldn't find him. In addition, seeing the success of the signal launch, the adrenal hormone surged, and the big boss was killed so happily. This part of the plot is indeed a bit crude, but it is reasonable.
This movie is a bit like "Host" where you can't show off your wealth. It's a very simple plot setting. Countless pictures have deep meanings. After 1000 years, the earth will be isolated, but what Xiaoshi sees when he goes out is all kinds of creatures. Human beings are like bereaved dogs returning home to pay homage to the past civilization - murals, the spirit of repayment of the eagle seems to be extinct today, Xiao Shi is reluctant to wake up in the dream, because he saw his sister was killed but he was helpless, and his heart The depths are filled with guilt for being cowardly and incompetent, and the sister in the dream tries to untie her knot. As a result, being woken up by her sister's bloody face was exactly in line with the body's response to the rapidly declining weather. A person who is obsessed with good times in a dream will wake up only if he is frightened, otherwise the cause of human extinction is death in a dream. Although the plot is very bloody, I personally think that it is enough to move people and understand some truths, because in today's unrecognizable era, cold-blooded is called cool, living in this complex and dirty society, have you ever hoped for a simple happiness? Do you know what death is? Know what can't be lost? How can people who live in hotbeds know what real fear is, and what is family love? What do we really need? The selfless giving of parents and the demands of children seem to be justified. There are indeed many points in the film that are not detailed enough, but most of the people who give bad reviews are misled by the word science fiction. Anyone who has seen Happiness Knock and Seven Pounds knows that Smith's films are all about the warmth. If you are looking for big scenes of gunfights and monster fights, it can only be said that you found the wrong movie yourself, even if Smith is for his son The tendency to pave the way is obvious. Compared with Hollywood blockbusters that generally pursue special effects of monster shootouts, this movie is considered a philosophical and warm movie.
