Although it's boring to say "this doesn't match reality" when watching a movie, but this is a documentary-style sci-fi movie, and it's hard for me not to complain about this very obvious loophole. Come to the following one by one.
When I saw the scene of "pulling the nails", I was already a little dissatisfied - a Russian cosmonaut with an actual mission time of more than 400 days, so ignoring the general operating procedures, what's the love? Of course, since I am from a fighting nation, I tentatively think "probably so".
Then came the death of the second astronaut, Katya. Her entire course of action can be said to be the fantasy of a standard literary youth to an engineer and a scientist's work. First, a female scientist? (cough cough, spit in the wrong place, I apologize) First of all, at the beginning of a scientist performing a task, not assessing risks, not thinking about efficiency, but feeling "wow, it's spectacular" already made me burst into tears. Although there are many scientists who will tell others "Electronics look so sexy" and "Oh, that cell is so cute", but this is all used after the fact, and they are very serious and rigorous when working. Okay, we talked about "rigorousness". Rigor is that the task plan is 60 minutes, so we will do it for 60 minutes. The mission plan is to collect life samples, and the mission will be completed after we collect the life samples. We don't want to take a look around when we see a good view over there (we'll record this problem, and then make a theory, and a new task in the future).
Then there is the scene of the landing capsule falling, I don't know about others, but I check the condition of the car every time I drive. I don't really know if the astronauts drive that thing the same way I do, although it's true that I don't check when I park in the outside parking lot and come back.
Aside from these unnatural parts, this film still gave me 90 minutes of pleasant viewing experience. And I heard that the production cost of this film is very low. I still have to admire the imagination of the screenwriter and the cheating use of the camera by the director.
