Science fiction, or is the screenwriter too brainy?

Because I have watched "The Night the Comet Came", when I saw the hero and heroine open the guest room and meet another person who is exactly the same as my lover, I naturally thought that this film borrowed the idea of ​​"The Comet" and shot it. A couples version. In the end, as the film progressed, I found that when only the male and female protagonists and the other pair existed, it felt a little wrong. Because according to the setting of "Comet", there are usually infinite universes. Through the little black road, the protagonists go to different universes every time, and as a result, there are countless intersections between people in parallel universes. They can only identify each other by marking and other methods, and the truth is, because every time they pass through the little black road, they go to other universes, so it is impossible for them to return to their own world, and it is impossible to find the original world again. Lovers and friends. The shock of "The Comet" to me is also in this, that is, the powerlessness and insignificance of human beings when the unknown situation of nature happens to me. It's a pity that "Love Is You" has gone astray. There is no parallel universe here. There is only a fake couple waiting for the protagonist in the space imagined by a screenwriter. The screenwriter takes it for granted that the fake couple in the space will become exactly the same as the male and female protagonists for some reason. It is taken for granted that only the so-called loving couple can leave this space covered by the ghost barrier from nowhere. It is taken for granted. The male protagonist took his fake wife and left that space together. The only thing that makes people curious in the whole movie is the explanation of these settings, but they are not presented at all. I can only say that you are the god of this movie, the screenwriter, I am convinced. If science fiction does not have any manifestation of scientific ideas, it is just a set of assumptions by the screenwriter. You don’t even know how to question the scientific rationality of it. Is this still science fiction?
