One-star movie, 100-star American drama

The film was originally the first episode of an American series that Fox shot, but Fox ultimately decided to make it an 80-minute movie that premiered on Netflix.

After explaining this background, it is not difficult to understand that as a movie, the character background is insufficiently explained, the plot is full of loopholes, and the protagonist's expression is dull and careless, which is a textbook example of a bad movie.

However, I have to admit that, as a male audience who has met countless times in his childhood fantasy and parallel worlds, the idea and ideas of this film are amazing. Looking forward to finding out if Ronan's father is a villain after this episode? What the hell is going on with that building that travels through the usual world? What is the origin of Polly's self in the final scene? And where is B and R's mother?

In the sense of an American drama, this episode got off to a good start, with compact content, reasonable scene settings, and not wasting a minute of minutiae performances, etc. As for the prediction of the plot direction, each audience may also have their own reasonable predictions, but I very much hope that in the future, the screenwriter will not involve religion or God in the story, just let it be a pure hard science fiction.
