This "Lifetime Series" for fans of "Alien" and "Prometheus" does not have the visual spectacle beyond other sci-fi American dramas, nor does it belong to the audio-visual aesthetics that Lei Gong was proud of in the past. The belief tear between atheism and theism is still in the struggle with the trapped beast of mankind in the environment of the pan-philosophical system. Of course, from the author's point of view, there should be some Lei Gong's concerns about human beings or rationalizing religious tools. Those adults who think they are familiar with the rules of survival in the world, and the children who have been brainwashed by the "God Sol" who has been reduced to a means of centralized control, are all difficult to agree with in the eyes of Lei Gong, but Xu Hui is a human thought form moving towards the future high-tech world. . Looking at the show from this perspective, I can only feel the pessimistic attitude of the old man who has opened the chapter of space monsters and expanded the visual imagination of sci-fi, and has no hope for the future. Walk along the line of fundamental conflict between Marcos and the idea of ​​female androids, and you will find that we may gradually move towards the opposite of the lack of belief, that is, we have nothing but "faith". In "Prometheus", there is nothing more people talk about than the vastness of the world view. If it is attributed to an individual, the plot can be simply understood as a collision caused by the unfortunate intersection of artificial and human curiosity on the way to find the creator. The most interesting passage is the scene where the android David takes the cross on Dr. Elizabeth's chest. The domino effect it inadvertently triggers makes it no longer limited to the dramatic conflict of binary opposition between characters, and has successfully risen to philosophical speculation. dimension. While experiencing the death (emotion) of his beloved, the doctor also faces the crisis of exile of his beliefs. Most of the author's manifestations are covered by the body movements of the characters and the precise scheduling of the camera, and the words are rarely overwhelmed. This "Alien Cataclysm" does not seem to have such an efficient single moment, and most of the time it is dominated by words. But there are still some interesting points in the slightly redundant dialogue, and there is a faint line of "Prometheus". For example, the paradoxical joke told by the service android to the high-IQ boy in the second episode, namely "Schrödinger's cat". This can be seen as a friendly signal sent by the android to humans with more diverse emotions in cognition, but unfortunately, the boy who had been imprisoned for a long time did not have the innocent curiosity of the android, and then gave a slightly disdainful expression. The gesture refused to continue to listen, and a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere was strangled in the cradle by instrumental rational thinking. But from this, can we conclude that in the worldview constructed by Lei Gong, the artificial talents represent the transcendental existence of the future? It doesn't seem to be the case. But what is certain is that in this show, keep the mind of uncertainty Experiments only exist in this lovely service android brain. From this point of view, "Alien Cataclysm" is really not sci-fi at all, but rather scary in reality.
