Basically disappointed, sorry for the 6.3 on IMDb.

The logic loopholes in the whole movie are too serious. First of all, the design of a spacecraft that can drop people to death is inherently immoral; a sidewalk is only half a meter wide and there is no guardrail? Even if it is a container, can it be installed with a self-shrinking guardrail? Can you install a simple elevator? How can an ethical design have a sidewalk only 0.5m wide without guardrails?
Secondly, when the heroine is taking a selfie, she can see that the time is the 2270s, but the digital camera in her hand, from the perspective of today's shooting quality, the image is not clear, the resolution is only 1440*900, and the sound is loud. The quality is surprisingly poor, even worse than the domestic copycats.
Then, do you think people will still be using today's laptops in 2270? The operating system inside is not as beautiful as win7.

Fourth, in terms of aesthetics at that time, the interior of the spacecraft should first look comfortable. The minimum requirement is to use light colors as the keynote, soft lighting as the main theme, and the darkness that makes people feel depressed should not be too obvious. , The edges and corners should not be too much, and the beautiful white paint is used as protection. But the spaceship in the movie is really not as good as a junkyard, and the humidity is too heavy. It's disgusting to watch, and I'd say the spacecraft designers were grossly irresponsible. How can an interstellar spaceship still look like 1968's 2001: A Space Odyssey.

In the end, the hero's practice of giving up his life to save his lover is touching, but it is also old-fashioned.
It can't be said that the film was not made well, it can only be said that it was born at an untimely time. If the film was shot 15 years ago, it would be a very good film. It's a pity that people's aesthetic tastes are getting heavier and heavier today.

I give the whole movie a 4.3.
