Classic apocalyptic movies

As an apocalyptic movie, the film mainly tends to attack and defend dungeon monsters. Although it also interspersed with some social relations in a closed environment, it is less expressed in the plot and will be discussed later.
In fact, purely from the main "threat" in the plot, deep space amnesia is no different from many other apocalyptic movies. Closed spaces and powerful monsters are a way to save everything. But unlike the traditional "the end of the world has just happened, the protagonist knows nothing, escapes, meets teammates, fights monsters to do missions, saves the world" routine, this film uses a similar opening to Resident Evil 1, and uses the protagonist's amnesia to change the world view Hidden away, the audience can easily empathize under this unknown shroud, and experience countless fears and confusions with the protagonist.
As for the final reversal of the big boss, it is really unexpected and reasonable, which is not easy in a thriller movie. Many film directors always like to show off a so-called reversal at the end. The fatal ID is broken, and the base is suspected to be broken. Although the source code is not reversed, it does make a science fiction film very cheap. It is even more powerless to complain. When the director and the screenwriter thought he had written the last few minutes of "Gorgeous Turn" wisely, the audience was full of indignation: "You spent two hours introducing Lao Tzu to a worldview and then said that it was SHI, I am playing with you." The reversal of the film can be said to be gradually revealed in the first twenty minutes of the plot, and it becomes more and more obvious as the plot develops until the final reversal.
Looking back at the overtones of the whole movie, in fact, the film also puts forward its own views on the description of another subject in the apocalyptic category---social relations. When a person has all the rights, when a person loses all the meaning of living, and when a person is no longer regulated by order, the seemingly infinite freedom is actually no different from death. In order to make yourself feel alive, you will do terrible things.
