mediocre commercial film

The 2003 film, if I look at it now, I really don't want to give a passing score. If it's not homework, I'll definitely give it a ×.
The original story feels okay, but I feel that the expression of the film is not clearly explained. In fact, it is difficult to avoid some bugs in a film with a time and space theme.
As far as the camera is concerned, it is not satisfactory. Although the Wu-style style really wants to make people complain, there is no problem with the handling. The fighting is smooth, and some close-ups are not abrupt. The composition of the question mark is not bad, and the CG technology should be at the top level at that time).
In terms of the rhythm of the film, the beginning is a little long, but the relationship between the characters is not explained too clearly, and the shaping of the protagonist is also unsatisfactory. As an excellent engineer, he does not well show the commonality of engineers, but simply shapes a character. A solitary hero, but does not reflect the hero's tragic and solemnity well.
The performance of the first half is okay, and the development is very attractive. But the second half of the story is a bit messy, with inexplicable reasons and logical order. There must be a love scene at the end, in short, it's very low.
Think of it as a decent commercial film, the music, scenes, etc. are not too brilliant or criticized, but a few lines can "foresee the future, and there is no future."
