A plot that can't stand thinking + mediocre special effects = ethereal blissful space

I can only give 3 stars, because not only the visual effects of this film are mediocre, but more importantly, the plot can't stand scrutiny!
At the beginning, it is easy to think of "Total Recall" because it is so similar... The protagonists are all workers, and they all go to work, and even the work content is similar...
After that, the normal plot unfolds and various foreshadowings. At first it seemed very important, sad, and NTR foreshadowing, but it didn't say anything at all! That is, the experience that the heroine said was "very complicated".
There are many plots that can't help but scrutinize...
Compared with smuggling, which is extremely risky and easy to be repatriated, the cost of smuggling the therapeutic device back to Earth is obviously lower. Of course, the camera moved to the ring belt (Elysium? But I like to call it the ring belt without explanation!) When the BGM of the new world sounded, I was still a little excited~
In the final chapter of the movie, the protagonist was completely absent during the destruction of the headquarters. An effective official counterattack! ? Only the expelled counter-attack 5 points and the earth's snakehead and the protagonist were fighting, and the mechanical police who looked like a bunker at first didn't even fight soy sauce! ? If the police and the army have been completely replaced by robots, what are the ones who came with the president in the end? ?
Speaking of which, the director seems to like the Japanese style very much~ Even if it is a fierce fight scene, the cherry blossoms (?) are flying, and it seems that the props of the Japanese sword will be broken soon...
And the co-author only needs to enter the completely unguarded general office. The control room automatically obtains system administrator privileges! ? Directly make the entire system shut down and restart! ! ! ? ? ? Even the designer of the system himself has to run a background or something?
Although the movie designed a seemingly happy ending, the unreliable level of this ending is like throwing a skinny rabbit into a cage with a group of hungry dogs... It is true that the hungry can't move. Very poor. But what about after? Eat the rabbits and they won't be hungry for a while, but this is just the beginning of the next vicious cycle!
Even if the system is tampered with according to the plot design, there must be a system administrator, right? What happens after the system is repaired? The police system has been taken over, what about the military?

In short... just look at it... The viewing experience is still ok, my favorite shot is the third-person fixed-position fight scene~ It feels like playing games on the big screen~
PS: This is the first time I watched a new movie in theaters without seeing the end... I missed about 2 or 3 minutes in the front...
