Not all sci-fi movies need special effects. This film is a sci-fi legend that does not need any special effects. The film uses language as a medium to build a mysterious and unpredictable world of sci-fi. The thoughts that came were so full of charm, and the reverie of language art was impressive.

There are a lot of dialogues in it, about time, religion, physics, history, psychology and many other large-volume content. Pull your thoughts back and forth between the dialogues of several protagonists. It feels like a film that can be edited more carefully. There are new discoveries every time, the rhythm is not thrilling and not thrilling, but it has been leading you, making you think about whether you want to believe their words or how to refute them.

The ending of the movie is definitely a touch of magic, subverting my understanding of traditional science fiction movies, it is worth watching.
