Let's first introduce the storyline: after the human beings exhausted the earth's resources, they chose a group of people to move to the planet Tanney. After the spaceship set off, the earth was destroyed. In the case of losing the moral law, among the three pilots, Because the captain and co-captain killed the captain and co-captain under the sequelae of deep sleep, and then played and tortured other members of the ship, drove the crew into a cargo warehouse, and let them kill each other. Finally, in order to survive, the crew had enzymes in their bodies (for It mutated under the catalysis of the injection to adapt to the environment of Tenney Planet, formed a new species, and slaughtered and devoured the normal passengers on the ship. After Gallo did this, he felt bored and went into a deep sleep. After waking up, his personality split, Become Payton and help Bauer restart the reactor. Bauer, through many difficulties, finally restarted the reactor and saved the spacecraft. At this time, Peyton and Gallo's personalities merged, remembering the past, and went to the cab to stop Ball. Bauer defeats Gallo, ejects all the rescue pods, and allows humans to survive on the planet of Tenney. This is probably the scene. . There is nothing to say in the specifics!

Next point of view: I think the theme of this film is the confrontation between civilization and barbarism. After the destruction of the earth, Gallo recklessly killed and played with other crew members without the constraints of morality and law, and wasted lives. Turn a normal, civilized crew into cannibal savages.

In the film, Gallo and those monsters represent the tyranny and barbarism after the loss of civilization, while Bauer represents the conscience and civilization of human beings, and the abyss under the sea represents the endless darkness in the time of barbarism. The final confrontation between Gallo and Ball represents the collision of human civilization and barbarism. If Gallo wins, human civilization will be completely destroyed. But in the end, Ball defeated the evil thoughts and rescued the remaining 1211 people in the spacecraft. Inherit human civilization on the planet of Tenney. Human civilization is passed on from generation to generation. . . .

Two places in the film talk about no more lay, nothing left to care (without laws, there will be no constraints). there's no law or order.

I feel that this is in line with the history of human development. Human beings got rid of barbarism in their development and finally formed the current human civilization.

Let's talk about the hallucination that Ball saw at the end! In fact, that was when Ball struggled under the temptation of Gallo's words, and it was a critical moment for the survival of human civilization. Bauer finally shot back the evil thoughts and desires in his heart, led mankind out of the barbaric abyss, and resumed a new civilization on the planet Tenny.

This is my point of view, everyone is welcome to discuss it together. If you have any questions or opinions, please comment
