The shortcomings of the film are obvious, so I won't say more about it.
But this movie has a lot of attractions to me: I like Chris Pratt, and it matches well with JL; I like this setting of placing romantic love stories in space, and it combines elements of adventure, disaster, and ethics; I like the overall simplicity and sharpness. Romantic and interesting visual effects, especially the starry sky pool and weightless design; many small details have a sense of humor; and the love of Michael Sheen.
You can also see the shadows of many films: The Martian, The Moon, Gravity, Black Mirror, Titanic...
Several philosophical and ethical topics thrown in the film are very interesting:
1. Why leave the earth?
2. In the face of disaster, do you choose to live together at the expense of others and self-interest? Accept your fate and wait to die? Or commit suicide as soon as possible?
3. What exactly do people live for? The present or the future?
4. Is love the ultimate destination of life?
