The disaster of extinction is too late to react

This movie is one of the most impressive movies I've ever seen. It's a pity the movie has such a low rating. Of course, the reason for the low rating is easy to understand. If you classify and score according to the type of film, this film is not flattering. It is neither a sci-fi film with a big scene nor a thriller that scare people's hearts. After thinking about it, I labeled it. "disaster". But compared to the 2012 disaster film that destroyed the world in an instant, this film is more like a drama. If you look at this film with a definition, you will be somewhat disappointed. But to watch it as a movie of whatever it is, without any preconceived eye, must be pleasantly surprised. The scientific setting of the film is very special, the innovative setting is different from the previous disaster films, and it is in line with Darwin's theory of natural selection for survival of the fittest. At the same time, the director is good at creating an indescribable tension. Will the eliminated species know that they are about to perish when they are about to be eliminated? I still feel that something is wrong, but I don't know what happened. I tried to find out, but I doubted and denied it again and again. The film keeps asking what happened? why? Just grabbing a heart like this, seeing the open ending, there may be no ending in the end, the disaster is too late to react
