Brain Fragment

How could you make such a brainless movie after seeing it so hot!

Mankind has enough technology to return to Earth from Mars, but instead of bombing the city, it sends infantrymen to sweep up from building to building. What tactic is this? What is the operation of the protagonist's sofa blocking the door? Assuming there is a counterattack, delaying time in preparation for the counterattack, blocking the door is acceptable, but the plot is completely asymmetrical in force between the two sides, then blocking the door has nothing to do except telling the person outside the door that "there is someone in the room" significance? Instead, even the possibility of sneak attacking the intruder has been lost. Of course, in this brain fragment, they still succeeded in the sneak attack. Why? Because the soldiers who broke the wall and entered the room, knowing that a child could not move the sofa to block the door, and there must be other people in the room, they focused only on the little daughter, so they succeeded in the attack—— The two sides are finally in an intellectual balance.

After the soldier was robbed of his main weapon, he didn’t even have a secondary weapon (when he was chasing the protagonist’s family, he had an extra knife in his hand. The bayonet on the soldier’s rifle was in the hands of the heroine, who was in the stairs. When I was holding it in my hand, it disappeared when I opened the rooftop door). This is not a flaw. The film has to be set in this way. It’s just not reasonable. I don't know if the Synthesizer will emit heat or other things. In short, whether it is a human soldier or a flying machine, the Synthesizer is all visually searched, and there is no other detection method.

According to memories, in the first destruction of synthetic humans by mankind, infantry was also used to shoot at close range. In other words, when humans are designing synthetic humans, they do not have any restriction mechanisms preset-why can such products be put into mass production and put on the market?

Finally escaped from the city by train, and the years outside were quiet. Feeling 50 years ago, human beings just fled from the city, not from the earth? After 50 years, it will not return to the earth, but only return to that city?

The level of training and organization of human soldiers is roughly equivalent to that of gangs. They are wearing uniforms and having weapons in their hands. That's it. Tactics and coordination are completely non-existent; there is a desperate fight in the first second, and a gun in the second. The fleeing train stopped, the children got out of the car and ran into the arms of their parents, a car of people waiting for the family to embrace sensationalism on the platform, etc., this kind of "bad movie common problem" is naturally indispensable.

Therefore, the sequel indicated at the end of the film is not recommended.

    Peter: [narrating] Our world keeps moving. Changing. Evolving. And so do we. I know who I am now. And I know my enemy. We're not that different. Maybe, if others can see that, we'll have a future after all.
