Disappointing logic mess (serious spoiler)

2018.7.28 Netflix. After looking forward to it for a week, when I saw the male and female protagonists like that, I just squeaked, and it turned out to be a B-movie.

Originally, the performance + special effects could also be given 3 points, but there is a serious problem with the logic, which disappointed me too much, so I gave it 1 point.

In the film, Earthlings live on Mars (abandoned Earth 50 years ago), and synthetic humans live on Earth. The big question is, if you are a synth leader and live on Earth where all the earthlings are dead (killed by synths), why would you hide that you are a synth and let half the synths eliminate the other half What does it mean to live on the earth by making them pretend they are people on earth?

Whether it is a human being, a synthetic human being or a robot, they all have their own developmental trajectories. Development is based on a clear understanding of oneself, erasing one's own memory, and pretending to be another kind of human being, what are the benefits to the development of one's own race? ?

At the beginning, the synths killed all the Earthlings for survival. After knowing that the Earthlings would attack the synths, they sealed up + erased their memories so that their "compatriots" synths would not know. What is the defense?

At the end of the film, the black synthetic person asks the earth to capture the heroine. At this time, he is not afraid that the two of them will get along and the secret of erasing memory will be leaked? The logic before and after is completely inconsistent. If it wasn't for the synthesizers who did their best to erase the memories of their compatriots, how could they not have developed the technology to save their compatriots by bypassing the heart in an emergency?

In the film, the little girl's performance is also too hard. When she is normal, she flashes a pair of big eyes and looks very clever. The director's failure.

In the end, they took the train to escape for their lives. The family of four did not know how to hurry up and get on the train. When there were chasers, they staged a family show on the platform at the price of waiting for a train person's life. !
