Because of the leak of the on-demand platform, I was fortunate enough to watch this film in advance. I've been looking forward to this movie for a long time, and then it turned out to be a disappointment. The narrative style of "Apollo 18" is not even as good as "Apollo 18". I feel like I'm fooling people. The reasons are as follows:
1. There are many pictures with bad signal in the whole film, and it’s okay to be abusive at the beginning. The key is that the whole film is abusive, and it does not conform to the reality. Even if the communication with the earth is interrupted by the solar flare, even short-distance communication is so scum? Just a strange creature emitting a little radiation will destroy your short-range communication. This communication technology is too rubbish, right?
2. As a pseudo-documentary, the rationality and science are extremely poor. The only highlight of the whole film is the creature that glows and emits strong radiation like an octopus at the end of the film, but is this creature really possible? ? Even if there is life on Europa, it is impossible to evolve with so many creatures that melt so thick and close to absolute zero (note, it is absolute zero) and then find that there is no prey on the surface of Europa. , and humans turned out to be the first prey they captured in this way of predation! Don't make "Euro Report", go make "Alien" or "Alien Conspiracy"!
3. The location is unknown. I don't understand, does the director want to make a soft sci-fi like "Alien", or does he want to make a pseudo-documentary like "Apollo 18"? If you are shooting a soft sci-fi and focus on the plot, this picture, this editing, and this plot are obviously wrong. If you are shooting a pseudo-documentary, there are too many unrealistic points. The thickness of the ice is so thin because of the corrosion of the octopus? The power of octopus creatures is so great, but you find that this ability is useless unless it is against humans? Cyanobacteria single-celled organisms living on surfaces at absolute zero? Are you shooting the dual universe?
Originally, I was thinking of doing a news feature for the unit's website about this movie, but after reading the script, I lost my mood at all.
