This film belongs to the "out of control" genre. In the plot, human beings have ruined the earth to such a degree that they threaten their own survival, so they turn to the way of finding a new habitat. The design of the film is good and bad.
First of all, the story is very old-fashioned, with old-fashioned reasons plus time travel, interspersed with flirting and flirting between men and women, nothing new. But the highlight of sci-fi movies is not here, but showing gorgeous scenes and dazzling technology. Then look at these factors in this film. First of all, the design of the robot was too unsuccessful. Can travel faster than the speed of light, but the robot design is still at the level of the 80s. If you really don't know what a new design is, just take a look at the opinions conveyed by the big European brand concept cars. Look at the costume design again, referring to some elements in "Total Loss of Control", such as the helmet that can be retracted automatically, and the costume is still sloppy. The design of the spaceship is absolutely ridiculous. Perhaps the designers have considered the legendary UFO and have to make a saucer shape. From an aesthetic point of view, the butterfly shape is only dramatic and not grandiose. By the way, the design of the freezer compartment is still very American. The freezer in "Alien" looks like a Russian product, and it leaks badly.
For such films, we must always convey a humanistic view of the universe, and always have to talk about it. In "Out of Control", an old man who changed his studies to philosophy thought that science could not explain magical and interesting things, so it was instructive for him to seek God instead. In addition, "the human being is not civilized, how can civilization be brought to the universe" is also very shocking. There is not so much preaching in this, most of them are the ones in American family ethics dramas, which can be regarded as the space version of "The Troubles of Growth".
The most failed was the monkey and the mechanical spider. What does the monkey show? I don't know, why did it appear, I don't know. It is obviously an animation, I can see it. If I didn't read the beginning, I thought it was the space version of "Who Framed Roger Rabbit".
My least favorite character in it is the kid. Children should be virgin and innocent. Nothing could be seen in the eyes of this child. Become a technical genius at a young age. Note that this is technology, not science. Science is still exploring the nature of the world, and technology is purely a transformational movement. Those who engage in the transformation movement are either cynical or ambitious. I don't know what kind of child this child is, but if he looks at the behavior behind him, he should belong to the latter one.
In short, apart from "Battlestar Galactica" and the Japanese animation "Battlestar", I really can't find a good space science fiction film. The "Star Wars" scenes are first-rate, but there is nothing else to watch.
Space science fiction is not easy to do. One is that everyone still doesn't understand what space is; but everyone's imagination is still very limited, especially for film and television producers; third, the production money is still not enough. But Battlestar Galactica did a great job. This is why the world of movies is over, and the era of dramas is about to begin.
