Back to Mars: old youth

The translation of "Back to Mars" is too stupid. The film’s original name is Distance Between Us (DBU乱入?) not only shows that the protagonist Gardner is separated from his mother and his girlfriend, but there is also an ethical and moral separation.
It should be said that after a long period of isolation, re-exploring the worldliness of humanity, regaining the heart of a young child, exploring space and interstellar colonization, exploring artificial intelligence on Mars, secretive affection and love, and wanting to run wildly and other film and television elements have long been fully explored and discussed. Maybe the director wants to make a fresh "science fiction romance", so he combines the above elements. However, if it is not a surfactant, don't dry up the coincidence of miscible oil and water. The internal conflict between different elements makes people confused about the real purpose of the director. The whole film is a youth farce outlined with clichés, and part of the plot is quite absurd.
Putting foreshadowings and hints will help build suspense and develop the plot to achieve a response from the beginning to the end. But as soon as each segment in "Back to Mars" appeared, I knew its purpose and role in the latter part of the film. The reason is nothing more than a lack of design and innovation, and the storyline is clichéd. In fact, the story of "alien" seeking father, especially the idea of ​​"Heart Hypertrophy" is a good idea. It might be better if it is a tragedy rather than a happy reunion. The protagonist's simple vision and naive exploration throughout the film can reveal the tip of the iceberg of human society, and finally self-sacrifice. It really doesn't work. It can be made into a downright comedy like "My God", which makes people laugh with tears. However, the director didn't choose any path, insisting on taking the road of lush love, and finally brought the whole film to the pit. At the end of the film, Oldman recognizes the father and son of the hero, which should be a sudden reversal, but the actual effect is disappointing. Even if his uncle looks like Brother Tom, he can't hide the sudden turn.
There are too many mistakes in details, and science fiction has to be based and limited. Pick a few and tell me: The story is set in 2018, and the current human exploration of Mars is limited to "circle" and "fall". It is impossible to establish such a huge Mars base, and it is even impossible for humans to stay permanently. Private space companies’ participation in major space projects is still limited. Not everyone can be an astronaut. Before departure, a comprehensive physical examination and even a year in advance are required to live in isolation. It is impossible for a female astronaut to become pregnant, and it is impossible for a female astronaut to become pregnant. The structure of the manned spacecraft has long been upgraded to a three-cabin type (see the Russian "Alliance" series and the Chinese "Shenzhou" series). Why did it degenerate into a single-cabin type? A booster spacecraft. The space station of this size is currently only the International Space Station) brought into the orbit of Mars. The small spacecraft can take off from the ground and escape the gravity of the earth without the aid of a rocket. The huge overload into and out of the atmosphere did not cause any discomfort to the untrained crew. Weightlessness will increase the height of a person, so the spacesuit will be larger, but no matter how big it is, it will not fit the belly of a pregnant woman. The huge turbulence when entering the Martian atmosphere did not make it miscarriage. Whether it’s the right window for launching a spacecraft in 2018 is another question. With the current level of technology, the speed of the spacecraft is limited. It takes one or two years to go to Mars, and the child should be born on the spacecraft. Of course, the world economy, especially the U.S. economy continues to be sluggish. The "return to the moon" plan proposed by Bush Jr. was cut shortly after Obama took office. It is estimated that Trump’s rehearsal of old things is not enough. Can't go back to the moon, go to Mars?
The old drama bone plus Oldman provoked the acting of the entire film, and he listened comfortably to the opening speech. The 16-year-old love of the hero and heroine makes me envious to death. Such simple, enthusiastic and direct emotions do not lie in catching up, but in not regretting later.
I didn't catch up anyway. So angry.
