As a film with the theme of space navigation and exploration of extraterrestrial life, the director obviously expects to attract the favor of die-hard sci-fi fans, and has also added a lot of settings so that the audience will not shout: This is unscientific!
But if this is hard sci-fi, then he has made another serious mistake by showing a pessimism about the unknown. If a person likes science fiction and likes to explore, then the subconscious always thinks that the unknown is beautiful, at least exciting. Even in the classic horror sci-fi like the Alien series, there is always a Mama Ripley who lived to the end with the best laugh. It shows a revolutionary optimism of man's victory over nature.
The director wants to engage in the popular pseudo-documentary style, and he is satisfied with the feeling of being able to make horror films by the way. The footage from the surveillance cameras used throughout the film is very creative, but the footage keeps flickering without a scientific explanation. Playing around, I always feel that the director killed a boatload of people. Before the audience saw CAST in despair, he said: Their sacrifices have contributed to our exploration of the universe. Can't heal our wounded hearts at all! This is exactly how horror movies end.
Compared with the heroic "our journey is the sea of stars", the current junior sci-fi is getting more and more aggrieved. I have to admit that because the surface of the earth has nowhere to go, people living in various continents are slowly losing the courage to optimistically explore the unknown world. It's our destiny to be a cocoon.
