The icing on the cake is not necessarily a good thing

I was going to give 5 stars, but I have to drop 1 star in my opinion.

First, let me rearrange the story. Let everyone understand.

①The earth has entered a white-hot stage, the population is seriously exceeding the standard, and resources are in short supply. Finally stretched its claws into outer space.

②The spaceship was carrying a lot of hibernating humans. Every once in a while, a person is replaced in charge of guarding the order of the spacecraft.

③ After the spaceship left, the earth finally could not bear the destruction. On the eve of destruction, the final video was sent to the spacecraft, and the humans on the spacecraft naturally became the last humans.

④The three people in charge of the guards had a dispute. The leader was the man ②, and the man ② killed the other two people and played the role of God on the spaceship. Want to thaw the hibernating people to slaughter or let them slaughter themselves. He got bored while playing and went to sleep.

⑤ A part of the massacres survived. They are divided into two categories, one is human beings, and the other is people who have been killed and lost themselves. Gradually, the second category of humans took up the majority. They start to evolve, they evolve with their environment. In the end, it evolved into those so-called monsters.

⑥The male protagonist wakes up, followed by the male ②. The male protagonist accidentally discovers a human who has evolved into a monster when he is exploring. A portion of people who still retain their humanity was also discovered.

⑦The spaceship is running out of energy. The hero has to go to manually adjust the backup energy. And that is the lair of monsters.

⑧ After going through untold hardships, the male protagonist finally enabled the backup energy, and went to the cab with the female protagonist. On the way, the male protagonist gradually guessed something about the male ②.

⑨ After the last round of mouth cannons and fights, the male protagonist finds out that they have reached the destination planet. And successfully launched everyone out.

END

From the point of view of the story, this is an excellent sci-fi script. What struck me the most was the part from the spaceship to the outer planet at the end. Simply full marks. But I don't know why so many people say this is second-rate production.

Back to title. Why are there so many bad reviews for deep space amnesia? The story is very good and very creative. It's up to the director. The narrative style of the whole film is very strange, very suspenseful. So much so that I almost saw him as a suspense movie.
It wasn't until I saw the part where the man on the halfway sent humans to outer space recklessly for his own desires, and finally launched from the spaceship to the outside, that it was a sci-fi film. Or rather, science fiction suspense.

But as for what? Personally, I feel that the script is quite good, and even if the entire story is directly narrated according to the timeline, I feel that there is no problem.

The shooting technique is good, and it has a suspenseful taste.
The script is also good, very sci-fi.

But under such two good circumstances, the director chose to pay more attention to shooting techniques, followed by the routine of the script. So this film was made with a suspenseful taste than a sci-fi taste. It's like icing on the cake on a well-written script. Good, but not necessarily better.

For example, fish and bear's paw cannot have both. If the director is more determined in a direction, the movie may be made better. It's suspenseful and sci-fi.

Personal opinion, if you don't like it, don't spray it.
