Science fiction is a genre of fiction dealing with imaginative content such as futuristic settings, futuristic science and technology, space travel, time travel, parallel universes, and extraterrestrial life. It often explores the potential consequences of scientific and other innovations, and has been called a "literature of ideas".

Translation:
Science fiction is a type of fiction. The fictional content of science fiction includes future settings, future technology, space travel, time travel, parallel universes and life in space. Science fiction explores the future (potential outcomes) and other innovations of modern science and is known as the "literature of ideas" (don't know how to translate it).

Therefore, science fiction is not completely divorced from science, but a reasonable fantasy based on science.

I have seen some scientific and rational complaints about this film, so I will give my opinion based on the opinions of others, combined with my own judgment.

-----------------------------------

Some complaints I don't agree with:

1. Some students said that the space station is a circular autobiography, which is directly exposed in the vacuum, which is unreasonable. Personally I don't think so. The ring autobiography is used to generate gravity, which makes sense. It is natural to be directly exposed to the vacuum. Isn't all the space stations directly exposed to the vacuum? Just do radiation protection.

2. Some students said that it is unreasonable that the spacecraft has gravity everywhere. Personally, I think this is possible. It's not unreasonable for the writers to assume that the spacecraft has some kind of futuristic gravity-generating device.

3. Some students said, what is the use of artificial respiration after falling from a height. I would like to say that artificial respiration and chest compressions are the basic resuscitation methods, not only for suffocation, so this is also reasonable.

4. Some classmates said that after the heroine entered the simulation system, her birth point was in the woods, and she was able to find her sister's house smoothly. I would say that this is not unreasonable. The heroine entered through an abnormal way, so maybe the hero set him up...

5. Some of their opinions are misunderstandings of the plot (or translation problems). For example:
a. "The hibernation system wakes up when I think of it" is unreasonable, it is estimated that the first mate woke up on its own after Tucao was forcibly frozen. That's because you didn't notice a detail: the coolant was contaminated when the crew member reached for the first mate's dog tag (there's a shot of the sleep pod monitor panel showing the coolant "contamiated"). Then it is estimated that the first officer woke up because of the automatic protection system of the sleeping cabin.
b. "The protagonist said to himself in the process: We are now 4 light years away from the earth. If it is not a translation error, it is a hint that the ragged cargo ship can travel at the speed of light. Then the protagonist also tells her sister that in 8 years she will go to Meeting her sister...". The student understood the first half of the sentence correctly, and the second half of the sentence was wrong. The spacecraft is indeed sailing at the speed of light, but the protagonist thought he was going to a place 4 light-years away, so it was 4 light-years away, 4 light-years back, adding up to 8 years. This is what the protagonist said at the beginning of the video.

-----------------------------------

I agree with the Tucao and my Tucao:

1. The spacecraft has been jetting up for Mao? Although the film mentions the jet of the spacecraft in three scenes: one is when the spacecraft is accelerating away from the port and heading for the destination (the jet starts), and the other is when the spacecraft is approaching the orbiter preparation interface (the jet closes when the spacecraft is approaching) , one is when the spacecraft is accelerating away from the orbiter (the jet starts), but the first two shots are enough to explain that the spacecraft is indeed accelerating all the time. You don't think the spacecraft will suddenly turn on the jet acceleration when it is close to the orbiter, right? The only possible explanation is that the jets when the spacecraft approached the orbiter were not accelerating but decelerating... eh? ?

2. The spaceship flies at the speed of light, which is very, very, very BUG...
a. First, explain why the spaceship flies at the speed of light: The heroine sister sent a video message from Io, saying that it would take 4 years for the message to be transmitted to the girl. The Lord's place, that is to say, Io is 4 light-years away from the heroine, and the spacecraft... It took 4 years... to fly to Io... That is to say, the spacecraft is flying at the speed of light.
b. If the spacecraft flies to Io at the speed of light, and the speed of information transmission is also the speed of light, then the information sent to Io on the spacecraft will arrive at Io at the same time as the spacecraft, and it must be assumed that the information does not pass through Any transfer can go directly to the other side.
c. If the spacecraft is flying at the speed of light, the entire jet acceleration is even more inexplicable... Is this to accelerate to above the speed of light? Or that the acceleration is not high, and it accelerates slowly for a long time until the speed of light and then continues to accelerate, so that the average speed of the whole process is still the speed of light, and it takes 4 years to fly at a distance of 4 light-years...
d. If the spacecraft is flying at the speed of light, and it is close to If the orbiter stops accelerating, how did the deceleration come about, and how did it slow down to the orbiter's speed in such a short period of time? Or is it that the structure of this moon moon is so powerful that it can rotate at high speed without disintegrating due to centrifugal force? And humans are still delusional to colonize such a planet?
e. There is no special effect of flying at the speed of light at all in the film. So I think the writers didn't expect such a time and distance setting to cause the spacecraft to travel at the speed of light...
f. What about the spacecraft flying back at the speed of light? The news is broadcast on TV, and a paragraph has been edited into news. Has the spaceship not flown yet? Well, maybe the news editor is faster and the ship is slower. Or, the heroine has been controlled by the government?

3. There will be no surveillance equipment on the futuristic ship.......WTF? ? ?

4. What's the matter with the water running everywhere and what is it for? For cooling? Aren't you afraid of short circuits? Or is the spacecraft waterproof and stable? Well, maybe the spaceship is more powerful, or maybe the director added such a channel with water flowing in order to create a chilling and terrifying atmosphere...

5. Maybe the spaceship does not turn on the heating to save energy, but the cargo space is always floating What's up with the snow? Does the writer know how snow is formed? If the temperature of the warehouse is above freezing point, will it be raining all the year round in the warehouse?

6. The magical metal plate bulged out at the last minute and caught the safety door of the warehouse... Forget about commercial films, or literary and action films, this is a sci-fi film! Such a thin metal plate can actually block such a thick safety door, and it took a long time for the safety door to fracturing the metal plate instantly... The metal plate used to make the spacecraft is so crumbly and brittle? Well, maybe it's a metal plate of some future technology. It has poor stiffness and strong compression resistance... Then, how does the metal plate protrude...

7. There are so many living people "coffins" There is no one guarding the place, and there is no defense at all? How could an anti-government person easily open the "tomb door" and see the "coffin" inside? A small bomb just blew up the antenna? Well, sci-fi may not need to pay attention to these details.

8. But why is the Mao spaceship so rudimentary? ? Don't have decent accommodation, but don't even have a decent bridge? This light-speed spaceship looks decent on the outside, and the entire interior is a waterway...

------------------------------- ----

As a sci-fi fan, I feel very uncomfortable with so many bugs in a sci-fi film. Coupled with the actors who are not very mature in acting skills, the scenes with no bright spots, the dead spaceship inside, the childish and blunt plot details (I just want to flip the table when I see the male and female protagonists kissing for the first time), the background is unorganized Music, this film can only have one star...

However, the story of the film is very exciting, which may be the reason why some viewers rate the film relatively high; in some major details of the film, such as the video dialogue between sisters, The heroine's mental performance and so on, the foreshadowing of the story line is also in place. Therefore, it will not be a bad movie, but a two-star honor.
