’s whims about space travel has become the fascinating place of "Space Traveler", but with the advancement of the plot, the loopholes are full of holes, and the three perspectives are difficult to correct, which makes this movie neither sci-fi nor difficult. Emotion, in addition to the personal heroism that Hollywood is used to, is the embarrassment that the heroine suffers from Stockholm syndrome.

In fact, as far as the concept is concerned, "Space Traveler" has a very attractive setting at the beginning. In the future interstellar journey, because the spacecraft is seriously damaged, the hero accidentally wakes up from the journey to the space colony and faces 120 I will spend 89 years on my journey alone, and I may not reach the end until I die. Just as the loneliness of "I Am A Legend" is well rendered here, the whole story of the movie is still in one. The normal sci-fi movie is on the right track, and people can't help but think why only the male lead wakes up alone? Will this spaceship itself have a hidden conspiracy? There are so many ways in the environment of this space travel that can be deeply grasped as a masterpiece, but the film is almost completely irresistible to point to the beautiful love of its own.

Facing the loneliness of being alone, the male protagonist thinks of a way to wake up an unknown beauty to accompany him. This kind of murder in disguise seems to be irrelevant in the movie, using love as an excuse. It was easily taken over by a single stroke, and the lone man and the widow were in the same boat. Faced with the fact that had been awakened, the heroine could only admit her fate. Then there was the Stockholm syndrome and the long love routine of dry fire, followed by Hollywood used to it. The heroism of the old stalk created a climax and a fairy-tale ending for the movie. As for the doubts that arise as the plot advances, of course it is not the foreshadowing of the movie. It is really just a loophole that is difficult to justify. That's it.

If the male protagonist with three wrong views only made the movie bloody, then the loopholes in its setting completely ruined this self-proclaimed science fiction movie. You can't imagine a costly ship carrying thousands of people. A spaceship that has been flying for hundreds of years will rely on autonomous driving for the entire process. Once the spacecraft has problems, it can’t be solved, and the hero can easily wake up other people. When facing danger, this huge spacecraft can only In a medical cabin, all kinds of settings to force the male and female protagonists to forcefully stage a life-and-death relationship, eclipsing the eye-catching sci-fi charm at the beginning.

The scribbled setting of Xinma Youyan, the embarrassing love of heroes, even the romantic and beautiful space can not save the film’s mediocrity. In the end, the only thing that people want to ask is that this space has no safety factor, even an airplane. Someone dare to board the spaceship?

    The sci-fi version of "Titanic" (the two paragraphs of space bungee jumping and you die I die are really interesting tribute), the first two scenes are very well written (especially the precise call of class, race, gender stereotypes, which is more "Gravity" and "Interstellar Crossing" are better) It is a pity that for the idyllic pastoral in the central hall, the story must lead to a fairytale happy ending. The problem of three or four acts is very obvious.

    Space thriller + romantic love, the first half is like "The Moon" and the second half is like "Gravity". Although the story is simple, it is better than the atmosphere. Big cousin all kinds of clothes are really beautiful.
