A little comment.

The aliens on the moon looked like a very good gimmick at first. But with the depth of the plot, I gradually discovered that it still inevitably falls into the clichés of traditional commercial films. The aliens here are only used as a tool to undertake the transformation of the plot. In other words, this kind of fixed-mode story can happen on any planet except the earth, and the aliens can also be replaced with anything other than that, such as The pig’s feet suddenly twisted to the feet or the stomach hurts or something, and then can’t go home. When the main focus is on friendship and love, this movie will come alive. The
highlight is that this pseudo-documentary technique is still very good
(there is also a It’s called the tracking monster, and it’s much better visually than this.)
Although it’s not novel, ordinary commercial movies are rarely tried, so you don’t have to try to please the audience’s plot needs. Because the audience sees this pattern and subconsciously thinks it is true, and sees it with the mentality of accepting everything. There is no need to provoke the film anymore, and the audience will watch it with the mentality of allowing themselves to understand the process of this matter. Because subjectively, this story is already considered true.
The other is that the person on the moon barn is the pig's feet in the walking dead. . Expresses a lot of love.
