Doomsday and Heroes

This sci-fi horror suspense movie belongs to the kind of movie that gets more and more flavorful the more you watch it.

As an audience with a "doomsday complex", I like this script very much. Although the suspenseful atmosphere of the whole film is so strong that it makes people dizzy, and the monsters that appear are extremely disgusting and ferocious, the shock at the end is quite large, and it can be said to be extremely terrifying.

Just look at the subtitles that echo before and after, and you can see how amazing what happened.

〖Title〗

Humans first landed on the moon in 1969, with a population of 3.6 billion

In 2009, the Deep Space Telescope launched to find planets with signs of life. The population of the earth is 6.76 billion.

In 2153, the Paleo-17 probe landed on the planet Tanis and found that it was suitable for human habitation, with a population of 24.34 billion.

In 2174, the world war for limited resources has entered a fever, and the spaceship Eden is lifted into the sky

The first year of Tanis, population 1213

What happened in between? What kind of disaster caused the destruction of human civilization? The film does not involve too much, but reveals the truth from another angle.

The original English name "Pandorum" more directly indicates the theme. "Pandom" refers to the complications caused by astronauts after deep sleep in space, from slight limb tremors, headaches, and memory loss to delusions and madness.

Psychologists have long proposed that various unexpected psychological stress factors will occur in space due to long-term claustrophobia. Psychological problems will become the key to the smooth progress of long-term flight missions in the future.

The film is wonderfully created from this unique angle, and explores the various changes that may occur to human beings in order to adapt to the environment after breaking away from the traditional human value system.

The dark side of human beings shown in the film is ugly and cruel, but it is also shockingly real. Fortunately, the male protagonist in the film still belongs to the representative of heroism. With his personal kindness, strength, bravery and persistent belief, he ushered in new hope.

The ending is really meaningful, and if a sequel can be made, it should be even more exciting.
