Short comment: Paul van Hoeven’s sci-fi film made up

1. When I saw more than half of it, I felt like ordinary Hollywood routines were put on the skin of a b-level film, but at the end I was shocked. There were three big reversals. When I pretended to be a doctor and told him that it was all dreams, it was evil. When the boss tells him his true identity, and when he concludes that they are really worried that this is just a dream. Whether it is interpreted as a dream or "implanted memory" defeats the real body, it is very powerful. There are many movies about dreams and reality. The narration is clear enough not to confuse people, and the reversal is clever enough to not feel deliberate, very powerful.

2. All kinds of alien creatures, abnormal and bloody pictures are really dazzling. Mars uses a red filter, and the vast mountains undulate. It is also an eye-opener for those who don't watch many b-level movies.

3. Each role is related to the plot, very Hollywood's processing method, but to increase the visibility, the role of the black brother is impressive, of course there are many stereotypes.

    I watched Arnold's version by accident. After 22 years, the concepts of memory implantation, transgender people, and moving to Mars are still avant-garde, but they seem to be infinitely close to reality. Will we have to pay for air one day? , slowly mutating? Compared with many Chinese movies that fight against Japan all day long or endlessly nag about the past, movies dressed in science fiction make people think about the future more.
