Science fiction, religion and philosophy

When I first watched this film, I thought it was a good sci-fi film, and it left a lot of foreshadowing at the beginning, but then I think about it, when you are deep in such a period, there are indeed many, many puzzles about the time you just woke up. , the appearance of various characters and adventures in the middle is a bit far-fetched, but I can understand the director's idea. For such a huge spaceship system, it is indeed a bit puzzled to press such a button to turn on a switch and run so far, but from the length and side of the film. It is acceptable to think about the key points. Personally, I think the focus of this film is that at the end, a schizophrenic corporal, a philosophy of life, and a religious belief problem began to emerge, and the protagonist of the film - "Elysium" is A spaceship has been launched, why is it the world of Elysium, God and King, when a person faces the beginning of the collapse of the legal system and the existence of morality in name only, when you can be a king, a God's choice, human nature, human belief, The collapse of human morality has also given us a great reflection. This kind of thinking actually happened in Han Han's "A City", when the society began to become turbid, the legal system began to collapse, and human beings had no constraints. Can people’s beliefs and morality still be maintained, and can people’s nature and desires be restrained? The desire to survive will awaken the most primitive instincts of human beings, just like the last zombies, people cannibalize people and return to the most primitive nature of human beings...

    The thrilling killing battle in the confined space can't be invaded by darkness, and the turning point of the ending plot is a bit of a surprise.

    The sense of suspense is maintained well, the sense of terror is general, and it has not yet jumped out of the rut of aliens. It is said that the background setting is very good, but the reaction to the film makes people numb, and the layer of "people become crazy and become gods" is not clearly explained at all. The storyline is also oversimplified. All in all, it's still an ordinary sci-fi horror movie with ideas.

Pandorum quotes

  • [Bower sees that his hand is shaking uncontrollably, and he speaks to Payton over the walkie-talkie]

    Bower: Payton? Pandorum, you ever felt the symptoms?

    Payton: [aghast] Of all the things to remember, why would you pick that? Were you thinking of the Eden mission?

    Bower: What about the Eden?

    Payton: You just had to remind me of the biggest fucking catastrophe in space travel, the flight cautionary tale from Hell.

    Bower: I remember, didn't they have some kind of hypersleep malfunction?

    Payton: Three years into their shift, one of their officers had a psychological breakdown. The doctors referred to it as ODS symptom. The privates, we call it Pandorum. It drove him insane. He became convinced that the flight was cursed. Evil.

    Bower: What did he do?

    Payton: He evacuated the ship. He launched them all into oblivion. Five thousand people sent to their death with one push of a button.

  • Payton: I can't remember any of my life before this flight began.
