First state a sentence: "You are you, better, or not!"
The first half sentence is a line from the movie, and the second half sentence is added by me. The whole movie is about "If people mutate, will they still be people?"
The answer is: if there is humanity, then it is still human, and if there is no humanity, then it is no longer human. Just like people are born to their mothers, demon are born to their mothers, and if a demon is human, it is a human demon. The idea of the movie is OK, but it is just like the line of Tang Seng before-Mo Ji!
I don't know if the script is thin or the budget is too low. In short, a very hard science fiction movie was made into a family ethics drama, with a large section of family ethics story inserted in the middle. Of course, it is understandable to use family ethics plots to highlight the importance of how human nature is defined for people, but the contradictions and conflicts of the drama are too gentle to arouse people's desire to follow the plot, and there are few special effects. Less, so it becomes a very mediocre work, which is far from "The Fly". "The Fly" is limited by the technical conditions at the time and there are not many special effects, but the plot arrangement is better, the ups and downs, and a few years later, it is still fresh in the memory.
Let's discuss it in depth below in conjunction with the plot.
-------------------------------------------------- --Spoiler start--------------------------------------------- ----------------------
Since I watched it fast forward and added pure English subtitles and I was lazy to look up the dictionary, there may be errors in some places, please forgive me.
A few years later, as the earth's environment was deteriorating and the earth was overwhelmed, humans were almost unable to survive on the earth, so Professor Collingwood (a radical professor) proposed a plan to transform humans so that new humans can survive. On Saturn’s moon Titan. The method is to genetically modify volunteers, and the protagonist Rick is one of them.
In order to make these volunteers willing to accept the experiment, each volunteer family gave a luxury villa, which is a very generous reward when the earth is already in a bad environment, so every family agreed without hesitation (However, the fact is that you are greedy for petty gains and suffer big losses, so when someone uses seemingly great benefits to lure you into surrendering seemingly inconspicuous things, and you seem to have taken a big advantage, you must not agree to it).
At the beginning, the experiment went smoothly. The volunteers were alive and well, and all seemed to have become superhumans. However, something strange happened soon after. First someone died suddenly, and then someone became grumpy and fought for a little thing. Everything indicates that the experiment went wrong. ), but no one raised objections, and the experiment continued. The filming of this section is very ordinary. Not only is the plot not intense, but also a large section of family ethics plot is inserted to dilute the rhythm. The film is halfway through, and you will not feel the theme of the film if you don't taste it carefully.
Then the experiment enters the next stage-changing the eyes. Insert a sentence, the protagonist Rick has always been the most successful test product (yes, it is a test product, you will see why it is called a test product instead of a volunteer tester). Then there was a large section of ethical dramas (it was simply not enough special effects, ethics came together). Then there was no accident-something big happened! One night, Rick howled and his eyes were bleeding. The heroine Abigail hurriedly sent Rick to the experimental base. ), the movie is halfway through, and it seems that it is finally entering a tense stage. The good show finally begins, but then there is a long and long dialogue, which makes the plot that has just risen collapsed like a deflated balloon. . Then there is another ethical drama—to discuss whether to perform surgery on Rick. If surgery is performed, Rick may become a dehumanized animal. If surgery is not performed, Rick will die within 72 hours. Why did I say that Rick is a test product? Because Professor Collingwood has been hiding from the volunteers and using animal genes to modify them. In the eyes of Professor Collingwood, they are no longer humans but little white mice with no right to choose. Due to the insertion of too many ethical dramas, Professor Collingwood's cold-blooded portrayal is not deep, and Rick's focus from human to guinea pig is not prominent. In short, the movie becomes unattractive.
Then the movie finally enters the theme: when a person is mutated and no longer has the appearance of a person, then he is still not a person? The answer is Tang Seng's words: Is he still human? If he is human, then no matter what he becomes, he is still a human being after all. But the movie is not very clear, and you need to figure out and experience yourself from the previous large sections of family ethics plots. Rick's operation was successful, but Rick became very non-human, with only 4 fingers, his face resembling an amphibian, and no ears. So is Rick still a human being at this time? Is he still human?
With these questions, the heroine Abigail took Rick home, and the day went on, but the half-human half-beast Rick who easily lost his temper for a little thing made the heroine Abigail frighten away. Another day and night, another female guinea pig asked Rick for psychological comfort after killing her husband. The two Homo Titaniens touched each other with their tentacles (yes, the same genes make them feel that they are The same kind, as for human beings, it is a different species from them). This scene made the heroine Abigail see, is Rick, who is already animalistic, still his family?
The beast is a beast after all! The female experimenter, who had been completely dehumanized, continued to fight against the soldiers who came to hunt (the soldiers did not kill, but fired narcotic bombs, but the female experimenter still wanted to kill), but was ultimately defeated and killed. So Rick, whose bestiality was completely aroused, began to kill frantically, but when facing the heroine Abigail, a trace of humanity was still there, so he turned and ran away. Then he was arrested because of family love following the routine of the dog-blood plot. Then Professor Collingwood revealed his cruel and cold-blooded true face and asked the heroine Abigail to inject Rick with memory-erasing drugs, so that he would forget human memories and become the real Homo Titaniens. Of course, the family heroine Abigail would not be so unfeeling, and secretly changed the potion to let Rick escape. So another capture scene began.
In the end, the film shows Rick's sway and choice between humanity and animality through a less intense fighting scene and another ethical plot. In the end, of course, the family love of dog blood saved the world. Rick survived and became a rocket rider. New humans living on Titan.
End!

How about it? Is the word "family ethics drama" constantly flashing after watching the drama review that left you the deepest impression? right! This is not a high-cost hard science fiction film but a low-cost family ethics drama, so if your desired goal is not right, then you will be greatly disappointed.
Finally, let me talk about it. In fact, the most practical and feasible way to immigrate to Titan is to build a closed residence directly on Titan. Humans do not contact the atmosphere of Titan. This is the most direct and feasible way. Because modern human society relies on a complex production system rather than a single person, if you simply throw the transformed people on the Titan and live like primitive people, then the human society has not evolved but regressed. I don’t know if it will happen again. Only in the year of the monkey can the highly developed civilization developed today. So the movie is wrong from the root, let alone hard science fiction.
