Walking a tightrope between schizophrenia and mutant monsters, tech jobs

Three and a half. The schizophrenia with the academic name Pandorum (deep sleep sequelae) + the disgusting monster-like horror in "Dark Invasion".
After reading the introduction, I was actually quite afraid that both the director monster and the spiritual horror would like to touch both sides, but as a result, they could not grasp the balance and fall off the wire. After watching the film, I finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although this tightrope walked crookedly, it was finished.
I don't know if the director guessed that schizophrenia on a spaceship would be more difficult to sing a one-man show, so he added a genetically mutated monster. Although the fight and escape with the man-eating monster has strengthened the tension of the film, but the scene is too heavy, weakening the meaning of the film's title "Pandorum": a kind of side effect of deep space flight creatures, called deep sleep sequelae, refers to the space crew in the space. Complications of amnesia after waking up from deep sleep, which then evolves into delusions and leads to madness, is a hell wake-up call for aerospace - it seems that there is a similar plot in a silly X work "Sun Catastrophe" derived by Niu X.
I really liked the last scene of the movie. If the technological development of mankind can be faster than the catastrophe of the earth, then interstellar immigration must be the only choice for reproduction. It's a pity I can't see that day~
PS The crew's uniforms are very retro, reminiscent of the earlier SF works.
