Just stay on the earth, don’t toss

Female scientist Elizabeth Hansen (Liz for short) woke up in the dormant cabin and found that there was insufficient oxygen, so she tried to get out of the predicament by relying on the gradually restored memory and the help of the artificial intelligence system. In the process of getting in touch with the outside world, Liz discovered that she was not actually a female scientist herself, but a clone implanted with memory.

In the case of human beings on the earth falling into an extinction crisis due to an insurmountable virus, the government and scientists have implemented an interstellar migration program that clones humans. Ten thousand clones will be sent to a suitable one 14 light-years away from the earth. On the home planet, Omicron267, the heroine, a clone of Liz, is one of them.

Due to the accidental impact of the asteroid, a small number of dormant capsules and clones were damaged, which also caused the loss of oxygen in the dormant capsule of the heroine 267. After understanding the situation, 267 regained oxygen and went to sleep with the help of artificial intelligence, and finally successfully reached the target planet.

Typical European science fiction style.

The scene is simple. The scene that occupies most of the time is inside the dormant cabin, interspersed with a small amount of flashbacks of memory. At the end of the film does the overall image of the spaceship and space appear, and the target planet has only a simple seaside scene.

The characters are simple, only the female protagonist shows her face and has lines. The husband in the memory of the female protagonist only shows her face but no lines. The government department and Liz who are talking on the phone only have their voices but not people.

The rhythm is not too fast. If you are used to American sci-fi thrillers, it is difficult to tolerate the slow plot in the middle of the film, and the staged madness of the hostess is also a bit drowsy, even in the second half with Liz. During the call, the ink Jin Jin made the audience a bit speechless.

The overall performance is so-so, quite satisfactory, and the heroine's acting skills are good, but the hardcore logic of the film's technology is a bit behind the times.

The entire interstellar spacecraft is almost like a large pendant in the dormant capsule, and it is almost directly facing outer space after exiting the dormant capsule. This design concept seems that the entire spacecraft is more environmentally friendly than the fully enclosed, low-carbon, low-carbon, and it seems to be lower when subjected to local impact damage. The overall impact. Yes, but increased the design protection requirements of each dormant capsule, the resistance to impacts of small space materials, the resistance to the temperature difference between low temperature in space and high temperature entering the atmosphere, and the degree of protection against space rays, etc. The energy and material needed to maintain the living bodies in the dormant cabin also put forward higher requirements.

This design is also in line with the current European environmental protection logic, focusing more on the individual in environmental protection and emission reduction, rather than focusing on overall technological innovation.

In Hollywood’s long-distance interstellar travel, it is more inclined to adopt a completely enclosed cabin instead of a relatively simple combination of dormant cabins. During the transportation, some minor accidents occurred, so that the ultra-low temperature in the space would not be frozen into popsicles as soon as it left the dormant capsule.

Of course, Hollywood-style closed empty space capsules are also easier to create an atmosphere of unknown creatures or spiritual fear. In addition to the typical old and new "Alien" series, there are also "Deep Space Amnesia" and "Black Hole Surface" that are impressive. There is also the classic game "Dead Space" series, which interprets the emptiness and fear in the large spaceship to an extreme.

Turnips and vegetables have their own advantages, and the literary style may still prefer the European style of science fiction similar to this film.

But there is a point in European and American science fiction themes that is still a bit unattainable. In many movies, when humans are about to die, clones or human embryos with implanted memories are transported to distant aliens for colonization. Is the continuation of the human species really that important?

First of all, whether it is a clone or an embryo that is sent out, it is not oneself, but another life form that may have memory and thinking similar to oneself. Does it have any meaning for the dying self?

Secondly, in the known history of the earth, the destruction of the earth by mankind far exceeds that of any species in history, and the earth has been overwhelmed. Do those so-called scientists feel that it is not enough for humans to harm one earth? Send this devastating species to other planets? If it succeeds, there will be no way for the indigenous life forms on other planets to go?

There is permanence in the sky, not for Yao, not for perishing.

Either the alien or the mutant corpse monster is a subconscious punishment for the extremely selfish behavior of the human species. No matter how hard you struggle, your fate is fixed, and the more toss you can only end sooner.
