"I would like to pay tribute to all the heroes of space exploration with this film" - "Space Rescue"

Just finished watching it on iQIYI. English dubbed version.

The name of the movie is "Space Rescue". Before I saw the movie, I thought it was to rescue astronauts trapped in space, but I didn't expect astronauts to go to space to repair the space station.

The film is based on real events, so it's very real, and it feels like a high-level documentary. This is also the biggest difference between "Gravity" and "The Martian".

Gravity (2013)
7.9
2013 / United Kingdom United States Mexico / Science Fiction Thriller Disaster / Alfonso Cuaron / Sandra Bullock George Clooney
The Martian (2015)
8.5
2015 / United Kingdom United States Hungary Jordan / Drama Science Fiction Adventure / Ridley Scott / Matt Damon Jessica Chastain

The vast starry sky, the special effects of this space movie must be perfect in order to obtain an extraordinary experience. The special effects of this type of film are not too bad. The special effects of "Space Rescue" are still very good. It's hard to imagine that the Russians can make such an excellent film at a low cost. On the other hand, if you look at the movies in the Mainland, the special effects of the big production are really speechless. The special effects of "Space Rescue" can be compared with "Gravity", which is a very good level.

In terms of story, "Space Rescue" is very exciting. It has twists and turns. I thought about going to space and repairing the space station after the docking is completed. I didn't expect that the temperature in the space station was low and all the instruments were covered with ice and frozen. , At the same time, the Soviet Space Agency on the ground has to withstand the pressure of the United States about to launch the Challenger space shuttle "attempting to steal the Salyut 7 space station", because it is still in the space war between the United States and the Soviet Union in the Cold War, so the two The tension between the two countries has also infiltrated the space race. In fact, in the end, when the two Soviet astronauts saw the Challenger in outer space, they did not want to steal the space station, and there was peace in space. Therefore, the last sentence "Salute to all the heroes" makes it even more obvious that the current Russians are different from the Soviets and are generous and peaceful.

This movie is different from "Gravity" and "The Martian" in that it is more like a Russian theme movie, just like the "Operation Red Sea" and "Wolf Warriors" series. It has an element of promoting a certain spirit and patriotism or a certain value, so this film is also very high at the box office in Russia. "Space Rescue" is for Russians, maybe "Operation Red Sea" is for us. This is also true in The Martian, but not so obvious.

Well, that's all for today, see you next time.
