The idea is profound and novel, but the plot is protracted!

I think it’s okay, mainly because of the thought expressed in this sci-fi film: we humans are also under the surveillance of higher-level creatures than us!
I’ve thought a long time ago about the animal that our documentary filmed, which animal Knowing about shooting it, even if the camera is placed next to it, it still thinks it is a stake or something. This is caused by differences in intelligence, and I thought, what we do every day, will we be seen by some mysterious ability? There are more advanced creatures observing and monitoring us, but based on our cognition, it is impossible to penetrate and understand it?
One of the themes that this movie wants to express is what I think about it, and I think it’s not impossible, only we can’t think of it.
As far as the movie is concerned, there are not many attractive places, and the plot can only hit 3 stars.
