I probably have "movie-watching masochism". Not only did I insist on watching it, but I also shivered with excitement because of the harvest of a lot of slots.
Let me say a few good words first.
A unique feature of the setting is that it moves the great power game to space. Most of the space films are "the world is for the public." There are only cultural differences in the space station, and no nationality. The main contradiction is between people and the universe. The film repeatedly emphasizes the nationality of each person, implying that their cooperation on the surface is actually representing the interests of their own country, to counter the political hostility between countries caused by the energy crisis on the earth. The main contradiction is actually between people. between. At the same time, it also explained why the energy experiment should be carried out on the space station, because it is a project carried out by various countries, and the establishment of a laboratory on the ground will be broken because of geopolitics. Only in space can it be done without favoring a certain country and achieve a goal. Kind of checks and balances. However, this is not explained in the film. It is my brain supplement. Judging from the other scum settings in this film, it should not be intentionally left blank, because the main creator has no such brain at all. But in short this is a bit interesting.
The other is the first point of horror, that is, the crossing girl appears in the wall. The effect of spatial integration is a bit interesting. There is also the suspense point of "She knows everyone, but everyone does not know her." The suspense point is well designed.
Then it's ugly.
The first is the energy crisis. The first sentence of the opening is utterly utterly: The global energy will be exhausted within five years. If fossil fuels such as oil and coal are exhausted, it is still acceptable (not to mention how many tons of unproven and developed reserves in Siberia and northern Canada are in fact), but can explain a little bit, nuclear energy, solar energy, and wind energy. , Tides, geothermal, what happened to these energy sources? No matter how much straw is used to make alcohol or the like, a certain energy supply can be maintained. After all, the sun is still there, and it is not the kind of blinding sun like the Matrix. So exhausted, you might as well say that the universe will be dead in five years. The purpose of this setting is to show that the space station is the last hope of mankind, creating a sense of urgency. In fact, it is said that energy shortages, frictions between countries, and large-scale wars are about to break out. This pressure is great enough.
Then there is the artificial gravity of the space station. The space station has a circular structure and is rotating. It seems like that. Let me think that the director's middle school physics is not taught by the physical education teacher. But why is there no ring structure in the cabin when the interior is photographed, and the long corridor is either straight or curved to the left and right?
After the space station traversed, the earth disappeared, and I couldn't find it when I found it with the naked eye. The earth's gravitational field has disappeared. Can you judge the downward flight by looking at the flight parameters of the space station? And not only here, the orbit, speed, and flight path of the space station are not mentioned in the whole film. Is it Gouri's high-tech unmanned driving? Finally, the lifeboat must be released back to the earth. The earth is on the other side of the sun and is at least one astronomical unit away. How does the small lifeboat plan to fly over?
There are countless low-level mistakes of ignoring Newton and Galileo, so I think of the "Newton's coffin board" to the effect that "someone made a physical error, and then Newton's coffin board would not be able to cover it. At this time, the constant agitation The coffin board is connected to a generator and it becomes a perpetual motion machine, so the coffin boards of other physicists can't cover it either." It is appropriate to use this film, and the problem with a perpetual motion machine is solved.
Speaking of the core plot: the energy experiment. First of all, there is no explanation for what the core is doing. I don’t even know if it’s a man-made object or an alien technology. I think it’s to keep mystery and make a sequel. In short, it is called compass and gyro in the film, and it is from earthworms. After the man took it out of his stomach, he put it back in the machine and loaded the star map, so it seems that it is a gyroscope used for navigation. So the so-called energy experiment is to use a gyroscope to power the world?
The space station came to a parallel universe, but it explained that it came to another "dimension", er, do you know what "dimension" means? So are you one-dimensional, two-dimensional, or four, five, six, seven, eight? Then, although I don’t understand what’s going on, it should be able to return to normal after one more time, because of the "quantum entanglement"? Such a drunk screenwriting ability is appreciated by me.
Let's talk about the space disorder. There are three main points clearly indicated: the communication records of the crossing female, the German male, and Roy's arm.
The German male’s communication record has been taken in one sentence. I think it can continue to be pursued. The communication record does not only exist in universe B. In fact, the German male in universe A is also blackened. In fact, it is his own communication. It is recorded that he only used this excuse to wash himself away after discovering that the space station had crossed into a parallel universe. This can also explain how several crew members died during the female confinement period, that is, the German man was behind the scenes. Otherwise, these are unsolved cases, which can only be attributed to the phenomenon of pretending to be ghosts, such as table football suddenly starting to turn. Category.
Roy's arm should be a copy of "Drifting Classroom". What I don’t understand is that, obviously, the space station of Universe B has crashed, and the members should all be dead. Then who is controlling this arm? Is there a C universe? And how the owner of the arm knew that the gyroscope was in the belly of the earthworm man did not explain.
There is also a dark line in the space disorder, the earthworm man. This is only understood by the interpretation of others. It feels fairly high-end, that is, the earthworm man belongs to the B universe, so he knows the communication record of the German man, and because it is for Russia, so It made sense to print out a gun to retaliate against the German man. The print gun is a hot spot for 3D printing. The Liberator is directly copied from the shape. The question is where did the bullet come from? It is another God setting without explanation.
Let's talk about the drama on the earth. The heroine's husband didn't know where she was wandering, and then picked up a little girl, without calling the police, she took her back to a friend's refuge. This part is completely a waste of time, and it is meaningless other than trying to catch up with Cloverfield's first film. Obviously if this part is cut off, the whole play will be in the confined space of the space station, which can maintain a state of blindness to the outside world and increase the sense of tension. If you have to add this paragraph, I think it can be a suspense, and echo the space on the space station. That is, after contacting the little girl’s parents, I learned that the little girl was not missing at home, and the little girl I picked up was actually From the B universe. But obviously the screenwriter doesn't have this brain.
Regarding the poor Chinese of Zhang Ziyi and several other characters, it feels like Zhang Ziyi is playing a big name and doesn’t want to speak English, so other people speak Chinese with her, just to win the Chinese audience. In "Ghost in the Shell", Kitano himself speaks Japanese. It can also be understood that everyone has a built-in translator. It seems that everyone can only understand Chinese, which is the rise of a great power.
In the end, the most annoying is the black heroine. From start to finish, she only has an angry and round face, and she doesn’t do anything. I don’t know what role she has on the space station, so I finally had a fight with the woman crossing, and then I took a sensational selfie. They all thought that the ending was that the German man returned to Universe A, and the heroine stayed in Universe B to generate electricity with love.
