Cut corners theological propaganda in a sci-fi coat?

"Type I Origins" attempts to use an old theme of reincarnation to tell a scientifically proven theological story. It's a pity that the director's storytelling skills are too poor, the story is bland, and the expression is superficial, which makes this so-called science fiction seem unusually mediocre. In the first half, the various descriptions of the male protagonist meeting the female protagonist and falling in love seem to be just a deliberate preparation for the female protagonist to prove her identity after reincarnation as a little Indian girl. The love process is straightforward, just a simple search for a mysterious girl and a love story that follows after luckily finding it, without surprises and highlights. The first half of the male protagonist's job as a doctor is to find the key genes for eye evolution, and then prove that the eyes are the result of evolution, and then deny the existence of God. He and his wife, who was an assistant, found the gene, and also succeeded in giving the "earthworms" without vision photoreceptor cells. Originally, this part had the temperament of a sci-fi movie, but the second half turned around. The occurrence of a small probability event with the same iris structure of the eyes was put on the theme of the reincarnation of life. The number of human beings is now six to seven billion, so why is it impossible for the iris to have the same structure? It just so happened that the director got into the film and it became a theological event that can only be explained by reincarnation. To know that in the large number of human beings that have existed and are now, genetic consistency can occur, and an iris structure cannot be consistent? Anyway, "Jupiter Rising" still uses the same gene as the proof of reincarnation, but this film uses the same iris to draw the conclusion of reincarnation. The author made Easter eggs and wanted to achieve a scary effect, which is too low in my opinion. Reincarnation is an old topic, maybe it really exists. But if you want to tell something new about such an old topic, at least make the story more sophisticated and dig deeper into the theme. This film, which tells a bland story in the most superficial way, is too cut corners to be worth watching.
