It's just too many five stars and one star to balance.
No matter from any standard (science fiction, foreign language, foreign language science fiction), it cannot be called a qualified film. Seriously over-edited, this typical 2D action film editing method is simply nonsense when used in this sci-fi film with a more complex spatial structure. The performance of space and action is extremely unclear, and the axes are chaotic. Can anyone see what happened when the protagonist lives through the black hole? Too tight close-ups and too large vistas are often mistakenly inserted, completely failing to anchor the viewer's attention without the direction of movement being inconsistent and the absence of effective chiaroscuro. There are only a few special effects shots in the whole film that make people feel like they can watch it, but the construction of the five-dimensional space that cannot be confirmed is really laborious. Whenever the camera is pulled away, the human language continues unchanged, as if watching a light-hearted youth film. At the end of the day, this audiovisual method is completely incapable of handling Hollywood's galaxy-scale hyper-omniscient narrative.
