I can read the movie, but I can’t read the rating

The movie is not long, but the plot details are handled very well, and several turns are also highlights. The beginning went straight to the subject: This is a re-breeding facility, and today is the first day after the mass extinction. After a simple assembly, mother made her debut

Then the embryos are taken and raised, and the newborns grow up vigorously under the raising and education of robots. The robot uses its maternal love voice and meticulous care, so we have to feel good about it. However, the movie-watching instinct also tells us: so gentle, there must be conspiracy. Sure enough, when the daughter found a little mouse, the mother's cold reaction confirmed this guess. What is "mother" hiding

mother cremated the mouse the hostess caught

The daughter's trust in her mother began to disintegrate at this time. So the little girl in the rebellious period began to act against her mother’s orders, with the intention of digging into the truth about the world.

The hostess ran to see the airlock in the middle of the night

This time she unexpectedly ran into a survivor who came for help

How can the hostess see death without saving. Even though she was a little nervous and panicked, she did not forget her mother’s teaching about the virus in the outside world, insisting that the survivors wear protective clothing before putting them in.

After letting people in, she got the medicine without telling her mother. An accident occurred during the delivery of the medicine: the survivor had a conflict with his mother. This further confirms our previous speculation about the mother. But unexpectedly, after being shot twice in the body, the mother did not take the opportunity to kill the survivor, but chose to treat her. Here is a question: How can a mother who decisively burns the mouse to death and has no tolerance for external creatures accepts the survivor?

Later, the mother explained the situation in a gentle voice: it turned out that the mother is a different existence from the external robot. If the outside is a rebellious robot army, then the mother is the back hand prepared by the human beings, that is, when all the outside humans are killed (extinct), the reproductive plan will be initiated here and the incense will continue.

In the infirmary, mother is explaining herself to the survivors

So far there seems to be an explanation for this world. Why is there no one but me? ——Because they are all dead; why only give birth to me? ——Because I need to accumulate experience when I am a mother for the first time; why are there survivors? ——I don’t know, and I’m also surprised; why lie to me that there is a virus outside? ——Because there are evil robots outside, which are very dangerous, but I don’t want you to be frightened. What do the robots outside want to do? ——I don’t know, I only have memories here.

This is the first turning point of the plot: Mother is a good person different from the same kind, and we have to believe her. And then the mother's words made people start to doubt the survivors

mother expresses her doubts to her daughter

Are the survivors the wicked? what happened? This could have been a good big turning point or a big fluctuation in the plot, but the screenwriter was a bit sloppy. Here the mother’s lie was easily exposed by the heroine: After the survivor’s prompt, the heroine compared the warheads on the survivor and the mother. Found that the two are not the same. The first turning point is thus over, and the second turning point is here: my mother is a liar. Not only that, the hostess also found evidence that she was not the first child: her exam code was 03, and in the drawer she found records of 02 and 01. With the discovery of the ashes of little girl No. 02, we confirmed that her mother was an evil devil. Fortunately, I met a survivor by chance, otherwise our little angel is still in the dark.

Then go to the cremation room to confirm the conjecture

Then the survivors conspired with the heroine and escaped from the base without any risk. However, it turns out that the human base mentioned by the survivor does not exist. She is just a wandering lucky person. ). However, the heroine couldn't let go of the younger brother she picked herself, and ran back by herself. After activating the mouth, he persuaded his mother and obtained the management right of the base. However, such a simple plot is not worth five stars. Mother returned to the soldier's body and found the survivor who was painting alone. It turned out that this was planned by my mother. The survivor was not lucky, but was deliberately let go. Her role is to "encounter" the heroine by chance, and then let the heroine accept reality through a series of tossings, thereby becoming a qualified "new human" and willingly cultivate the next generation of newcomers. When this is done, the survivor can die.

The door of the container was blown open and closed by the wind, sounding the final death knell for the survivors. Through the tracker, the "mother" found her last hiding place. Close the door to work, the survivors are cool

Once the iron gate is closed, your fate is over

What will the daughter do next? The close-up at the end of the movie gives us the answer

Um……
...
Um!

The look in her eyes went from confused to firm, combined with the heroine's actions, it is not difficult to infer: standing in front of more than 60,000 embryos, she has made up her mind to resist. So I don't understand why some people feel that the heroine finally obeyed and took over the base, why some people feel that the movie is lackluster and makes people sleepy. To be honest, the five-star rating may be a bit high, but the second three-star rating is too low. The plot is good, the acting is online (the heroine feels a lot like Ellen Page, but also a bit of Natalie Portman), the special effects are online, there is really no reason to be less than eight points. 8.5, this is the rating I should give.

Let me talk about two more details. 1. "Number of days from mass extinction: 13867". It is more than 37 years after conversion. At first I thought it was a low-level mistake. Later, I realized that this was implying that the continuous growth process in the front of the movie did not belong to the same person, and it paved the way for the record of the heroine who found the baby No. 02 and No. 01.

2. The little girl who lives a sweet life with her mother at the beginning of the film will mistakenly think that she is the heroine at first. In fact, she is only number 02, and the heroine is number 03. This can be proved in the file photo found by the hostess. As the survivor said: "That thing has no feelings for you, and it cannot produce feelings."

Sing a lullaby and stare affectionately
In fact, I was cremated when I turned around

So, I read the movie, but I don’t understand the rating
