"Sun Cataclysm": Superfluous is not enough □ Text / Vulcan Ji This film provides us with the possibility of how we can use meager human resources to change things that may seem impossible to be changed by us. How do we defeat the gigantic with the small at the disadvantage when the gigantic object tells us it is impossible. - Vulcan Ji. Inscription.
One of the most common clichés in science fiction movies is the conjectures about the end of mankind and the creation of a heroic character under such delusions to lead us out of the final haze to escape the catastrophe and lead us to a new life. Crisis movies always set us some kind of crisis that seems inescapable but still has a chance of survival, and perhaps the most convincing thing for us is that it comes from the boundless universe and space. True fear comes from the unknown; this has always been my firm belief. Because of the unknown, so ignorant, so panic. When we begin to understand the law of development of something and the objective law from birth to death, we will no longer feel fear, because we can grasp it and even accelerate its development if conditions permit. Only the unknown is enough to make us tremble, because we don't know how to control it, how not to worry and be afraid. The boundless space in the universe not only gives us infinite fantasy, but also brings us infinite fear. Because of the vastness, because of the infinite, because the earth is as small as a mote in this vast universe, and we are only a mote in comparison with the earth; the reverence from the weak to the huge is enough to make us daunted. In 55 million miles of outer space, 16 months of interstellar drifting, on the adventurous mission of saving all mankind, throwing giant nuclear bombs at the sun to activate the sun in time; because the sun is prematurely aging and enters the depletion stage in advance. The dazzling planetary nebula before the stars die; the sun is created with up to 500 sets of CGI visual effects scenes with cutting-edge special effects... This film can be described as a visual film that entertains the eyes and ears of the audio-visual arts, regardless of the conception and visual effects. It's new and attractive. In science fiction movies, all the toys on the earth have made us tired, so we turn our attention to the vast space of the universe. With the astronomical knowledge we have and the degree of cognition of the universe, we may be at the most suitable stage for fantasy, because we have not fully understood, and we will not be completely ignorant. Reasonable imagination on the basis of understanding may be the basis of science fiction movies; while ignorance brings us fear, worry and even fear brings more to science fiction movies is a kind of mysterious reverie. To drive science fiction with mysterious horror colors, this is a successful science fiction theme. But science fiction that is too humane may not be enough to be called science fiction; science is a rigorous and serious work after all, and I may be willing to believe in the portrayal of characters and wishful thinking about the beauty of human nature in this film, However, I have never been able to believe in the so-called illusory so-called beauty under the fantasy produced in the name of scientific fantasy after abandoning the scientific spirit. After 50 years of growth from the current base of 6.9 billion people, the United Nations conservatively estimates that there will be more than 9 billion people living on this perhaps already crowded planet. Eight of the best scientists were selected horizontally in order to take into account more expertise to travel to the sun together to ensure that scientific hypotheses that may only have one chance can be completed. So will mankind take such a risk to put this one and only chance on a few scientists who are not very good in psychological quality? If this investment fails, mankind and the earth will eventually face extinction. Economic principles have determined that if such a plan is to be implemented, it should be used to diversify investment in order to reduce the risk of failure to ensure the final completion of the entire rescue plan. Thousands of creatures on earth and the reproduction of human beings themselves. Investing nearly 10 billion people and the entire planet in a few people is undoubtedly stupid and extremely risky. However, after 50 years of development on the existing basis, has the IQ of human beings regressed to the point where they have forgotten economic principles? And so ignorant to go straight ahead. The economic principle of diversifying investment to reduce risk will decide to divide the nuclear bomb that reignites the sun that is about to be extinguished into multiple parts, then send multiple spaceships to the sun together, assemble at the locked coordinates and then throw them together, which can reduce the risk. drop to lowest. And even if a few spaceships fail to reach their destination due to malfunctions or other reasons in the middle, it will not affect the complete implementation of the entire plan; or if all the spaceships arrive on time and complete the assembly, it is also possible to let a few spaceships in The ship that was supposed to be malfunctioning was docked to watch the gorgeous fireworks display of the century before the sun was blown away by the excessive firepower.

It not only ensures the probability of success, but also avoids the helpless and urgent dilemma in the movie once a dangerous situation occurs. Could it be that there are dozens of staff members like the eight crew members on this spacecraft in the conservative estimate of nearly 10 billion people, or that the entire earth can be used to exhaust all financial resources and resources. It's such a risky gamble to come up with a spaceship that doesn't have a semicolon. Such an assumption is undoubtedly counterintuitive. As a sci-fi blockbuster across five continents to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the launch of the first artificial satellite, it ignores these unreasonable things that should have been in the plan but never appeared in the plan, and put nearly 10 billion people and the entire earth. To throw all hope on these few eight people undoubtedly pushes the film into a pseudo-scientific dilemma. Science fiction movies that go against scientific and economic principles can only be as helpless and miserable as Sibu.
In addition, the arrangement accepted by the actors from the five continents in the film to serve the plot of the film also seems unreasonable. They're not as rational as the scientists the movie puts them in, but more like an extravagant weekend trip for a bunch of idle petty bourgeoisie. Fighting because of a disagreement is definitely not a hobby or an adjustment in work and life for a group of scientists with strong professional knowledge and trained as a team with good tacit understanding; a dangerous situation must be discussed and persuaded. Determining who should sacrifice more and who should be more protected... This kind of contrived plot is really frustrating to me and I don't see anything about teamwork, discipline, understanding, etc. in them. What's more, Michelle Yeoh, she should be the one who controls the oxygen supply system for the whole ship, but the so-called botanist stays in the botanical garden all day arranging flowers and grass, but after the botanical garden catches fire, she just doesn't In the case of any fire extinguishing tools, I rushed to the Botanical Garden to watch the fire next door and wept bitterly. I'm thinking, first of all, this is a major mistake in the fire protection system of the entire spacecraft, and secondly, Michelle Yeoh herself, should she find a way to put out the fire or think about how long the remaining oxygen can supply the entire staff to breathe, the spacecraft does not have Any emergency backup system, and the botanist has not played its due role except for crying pitifully like a peasant jasper. In terms of plot, such an arrangement can basically be regarded as superfluous and very helpless. Even very hypocritical. In my opinion, what this film presents to us: British director Danny Boyle has lost the heavy human thinking he had in "Trainspotting", and without him in "28 Days Later" Strategies in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"; even Michelle Yeoh is far from her sway in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". Confused innocent situation. The bigger criticism lies in what happened after going to Icarus No. 1. Without any indication, the crew of Icarus 1 suddenly appeared in the cabin of the 2nd ship, and played the role of a murderer for no reason. All the shots of him were processed with superimposed and blurred special effects, plus the previous unprovoked invasion and indiscriminate killings, this sci-fi movie suddenly turned into a half-supernatural Pseudo-science fiction themes. For science fiction movies, such criticism can undoubtedly be regarded as a hopeless injury. It is undeniable that the concept of this film is not bad, and the production team is also fantastic, and the visual effects after it comes out are very good. However, the conception of the film and the actual operation are far from the opposite, because a mentally retarded script makes a film that may be greater than it seems very helpless. Attempting a great martyrdom is simply sensational because of the film's flawed plot design. The perfection of special effects and visual effects further highlights the flaws in the script. It can be said that these great characters died completely and completed this seemingly tragic plan to save mankind and the earth, completely out of last resort. great. It might be said that the script killed all these people. With an unsatisfactory plot and a perfect visual effects team, this movie is as annoying and depressing as chicken ribs. Superfluous, but still better not to add; this is the instruction of the ancients. Because the snake itself has no feet, no matter how strong the snake's feet are, it is still a failed painting. In addition, the movie neglected to fully think and describe the snake's body, so it completely painted the snake as a monster for no reason. The movie just made such a mistake, turning science fiction into a supernatural being, turning the scientific workers into a peasant family, adding some inexplicable disputes and finally a seemingly tragic but actually sentimental martyrdom, in order to contribute to the aerospace industry. In the name of paying tribute, it is completely contrary, and too many branches have brought the film into a dilemma. I admit that the film's creative team, special effects team, and cast are all what I expected, and the audio-visual effects are perfect after the film comes out; the 0.2% sun in the impressive observation room is beautiful It's amazing. However, science should always be returned to science; it may be just right to develop the beauty of human nature on the basis of science fiction, but when a sci-fi movie is still thinking about human nature, or the supernatural, or the wave of science after the filming , I can only say that in the end, this movie is just a tasteless work that is just a fly in the ointment and superfluous. 2 The intensity of the sun is amazing.
