It's actually a children's movie

When I first started, I was looking forward to this movie. The preemptive version, the DVD version is out, don't watch it. I finally waited until there was high-definition, and thought it would be a visual feast. But there is a lot of dissatisfaction with what I think.
Let's rant. After 1000 years, the technology of earthlings must be very mature. Communication equipment and clothes can detect polygraphs and emotions. But why do you still use cold weapons such as swords to fight bosses? At least it looks like a pulse gun with infinite energy. In fact, I actually like that suit very much, but why can't it be matched with a set of gloves? In this way, parasites and spiders are not afraid of anything. It is best to set the sticky function, and it is easier to climb mountains. Haha~ Also, why did the big eagle take the protagonist back to the lair? Let him protect its little bird? So unreasonable. The entire movie, for us veteran sci-fi fans, has a lot to offer.
In fact, Smith may be too anxious for his son to become popular. The plot is so ordinary that it can't be more ordinary, basically he is alone in taking risks and overcoming. It feels like a small game of Dragon Quest, with no depth. But Smith said, there is danger, but there is no fear. I think that's the center of the movie. I also agree that even if it is applied to life, it will work. The protagonist relies on this sentence to achieve ghosting and defeat the final boss~ It's very touching.
To sum up, this movie is of little value to countless people who read it, and there are many complaints. But it can be used as an inspirational film for teenagers. Remember that sentence: there is danger, but fear is not.

  • Cypher Raige: Inventory up.

    Kitai Raige: Roger. Food rations, half available. Flares, full. Med kit, half available. Breathing fluid... Breathing fluid, four vials available.

    Cypher Raige: [looks Kitai's heart rate increases] Why are you not showing me the case?

    Kitai Raige: What?

    Cypher Raige: Show it to me now.

    Kitai Raige: I thought that I could make it, sir.

    Cypher Raige: [after seeing the analysis report] Abort mission. Return to the ship. That is an order.

  • Kitai Raige: No, Dad. I can do it. I don't need many. I can get across with just two.

    Cypher Raige: You need a minimum of three inhalers to make it to the tail. You have exhausted your resources.

    Kitai Raige: I can get across. I can do it with just two, Dad.

    Cypher Raige: This mission has reached abort criteria. I take full responsibility. You did your best. You have nothing more to prove. Now return to the ship.

    Kitai Raige: What was your mistake? Trusting me? Depending on me, thinking that I could do this?

    Cypher Raige: I am giving you an order... to turn around and return to this ship.

    Kitai Raige: You wouldn't give any other Ranger that order?

    Cypher Raige: You are not a Ranger. And I am giving you that order.

    Kitai Raige: [pause] What was I supposed to do? What did you want me to do? She gave me an order. She said, no matter what, don't come out of that box! Was I supposed to just come out and die?
