Science fiction is really scary

The film is well-paced, engaging, and enjoyable to watch. Just thinking about it in hindsight some places are very unreliable.
I watched it as a suspense movie at first, because we watched it from the perspective of the male protagonist. I started crying when I saw the truth because it was so sad. After all, he and Christie only had 8 minutes from knowing each other to falling in love. He thought he had rescued Christina, when in the real world she was dead.
I feel sadness is seen from a real world perspective. Because the real world captain only has a brainwave left, and the people on the train in the real world are dead, and all the lovers belong to is just an 8-minute piece of code, or a program. And this feeling is doomed to be fruitless. So sad. In the end, it was even more sad. Even though he knew that nothing could be changed, he still wanted to go back again to save those who had died in the real world. Yeah, feeling sad is from Goodwin's point of view, so she'll help him in the end. We've seen a little more than Goodwin on the 8-minute train.
But in the end, it turned into a parallel world. Parallel worlds don't work that way. What is quantum mechanics, Barbara, the explanation of citing a few terms can be ignored. The basis for the 8 minutes I understand is the infinite potential of the brain. Only the history teacher and the captain’s brain circuits are connected. After the history teacher dies, only 8 minutes of pre-mortem memory can be used. They maximize the memory capacity of these 8 minutes (all short-sighted instant memories are available) and present them to the captain, so the captain The details you see are so real, the captain's own brain can still be used, and in those 8 minutes, the captain went to the history teacher's memory to find the murderer.
I have a classmate who can't accept the existence of aliens. I think I am very open-minded, but I just can't accept time-travel. Thinking about it, I think it's too fake. But I believe in parallel worlds, but I don't feel that another or several parallel worlds are exactly the same as this real world, only the results are different.
Anyway, it's still sad. Because the people on the train in the real world are still dead, and so is the captain. Even if the parallel world view here is established, it is actually that among all the parallel worlds derived from those 8 minutes, only the last one is Happy Ending. Does this count as HE for a film? Still sad.
After reading a few reviews, it feels as though "parallel worlds" can explain everything. Too....doesn't anyone find the way Goodwin and the captain communicate very untenable? One is that Goodwin talks directly, which proves that the captain in the real world still has functions such as hearing. Modern medicine identifies death based on brain activity, so the captain is not dead. He is much better than a vegetative person. Did the experiment really pass? Second, Goodwin understood the captain's thoughts through the subtitles converted from his brain waves, which is even more mysterious. I watched an episode of "Doctor House". It was a patient who could hear and see brain activity, but did not have all external reactions and messy complications. House and the others inserted electrodes into the patient's brain. The up and down of the radio waves are only YES and NO.
Sci-fi....
