The anticlimactic plot really makes me a headache.
1. Alien lifeforms that can hit the probe in space and penetrate into the interior. As a result, you told me that it is a creature that needs to survive in a parasitic form and has to adapt to the external environment? How did you survive all the way in a vacuum?
2. The Soviet Secret Science Institute’s defense and isolation work against extraterrestrial organisms is so incompetent that people are speechless. To deal with such an unknown alien life body, there are only two layers of isolation and protection, and it is still bulletproof glass. It is not like the interrogation room. The difference, even more outrageous, is that the research center of the scientists is actually outside the protective layer? ? ? ? If this thing slips out on a business trip, isn't it going to die instantly?
Even the precautions in "Alien Awakening" are inferior, and I haven't seen the word infection mentioned in the film. I am convinced that there is a cowardly doctor besides the heroine from start to finish.
Even if the background is in 1983, scientific research facilities can't be so casual, right? The screenwriter's arrangement is almost like a wild road hospital.
3. Same as above, the heroine is also a bit cerebral palsy, so letting the male lead carrying the alien leave the isolation room to experience the "normal life", really rest assured for the alien friends, I don't worry about the consequences if this thing suddenly comes out. Of course, the colonel was even more stupid, and even agreed.
(The monster didn’t give the heroine a mouthful in the end, I was upset)
4. I didn’t understand the heroine’s self-confidence. The film didn’t say what institution the heroine worked in, but it was obviously not in any science academy. From the beginning, the reason why the heroine was expelled and the colonel let her come. Seeing the doctor, referring to the confidentiality agreement, she should be just an ordinary doctor. I didn't expect to report this kind of work to a higher level and let a more professional person do it in the face of alien creatures.
5. I don’t want to talk about the various military strengths, guards, marksmanship of soldiers, and colonel’s solo aliens in the institute. Anyway, the plot needs it, right?
At the last moment, the male protagonist suddenly realized that he had shot and committed suicide. Judging from the car in the distance, he must have known that after leaving this hospital, there was another research institute waiting for him. It's a classic routine, and the upper level in this film is exactly the same as in "Alien".
I black myself? ? ?
However, the horror at the beginning of the film is still good, such as the strange form when the alien first saw it, and the action of imitating the heroine reminds me of the aliens in "Annihilation". "Annihilation" is much more depressing than this movie. The main boring part of the film lies in the various fantasy under the background of the Cold War. By the way, at first I thought it would be like in "Strange Forms". The male protagonist is superficially parasitic, but in fact has been replaced, but after watching the film, I found out that the film It might not be without this meaning.
Space, aliens, cold war, arms race, and aerospace, these elements are not particularly good. It is another "Apollo 18", which is not as good as it in terms of space horror.
