Survival or life?

I believe that many people like me came in because of the posters. I didn't expect to see enough of what I wanted to see, but they would gain something else.

Deceptive movie poster

The same sci-fi background, again, the same is because the earth’s energy is about to be exhausted, looking for a new place to live, a group of artificially cultivated high-IQ sperm and egg combinations were developed. These thirty children cannot be said to be human. Reproduction is more like a tool for humans to explore the planet.

Artificially fertilized eggs

In this way, thirty children and the only human Richard they knew were sent into outer space.

Space journey begins

As the children became adults and these children left the real earth, these thirty of them, as a small group of creatures, began to form some realistic questions about human survival.

The first is, why do they do something to be done?

Especially when they drink blue potion, and detect toxic substances in the filtered water in their urine. After finding out the effect of the blue potion, they even began to question the only leader, Richard.

Blue potion arranged every day

In addition, Richard's interpretation of cabin 23 is always vague. A crisis of confidence in the leader arises.

Secondly, why do we need to be obedient? The opposite of being obedient is disobedience, so what's the disadvantage of being disobedient?

In fact, the first benefit of being disobedient is that Richard is dead, and after being screwed to death, their lives are no different.

Richard was killed

Everyone is free from restraint, coupled with not drinking blue potion, the nature is liberated, violence, sex, and can do all the things that can't be done at ordinary times.

Force to release the body

The physiological needs of the opposite sex are gradually formed, and in this process, I feel that I am finally myself.

Exploration of the opposite sex

Besides, what do these people live for? For the future of the people on earth? That's ridiculous. They can only spend their entire lives on this spaceship. What does the happiness of those younger generations have to do with them?

These thirty people are all smart people. After Richard's death, new leaders were selected according to the rules, but soon, two camps appeared. There was a disagreement between the obedient and the disobedient, and the two camps competed with each other for power. The other is the heroine, and the choice of the heroine once again angered the villain boss Zac.

Zac wants to be in power

In the middle, there is a passage where the male protagonist Christopher tried to tell everyone the truth about Richard's death, but found that after the truth was revealed, nothing changed? Because everyone doesn't care about the truth, what they want is freedom and control, and the meaning of life?

What happens when disorder arrives? Will there be real order? Then naturally, wave after wave of teammates died, so the rules emerged from the lessons of blood.

Death begins to appear

In the end, there will be a new order, due to the order of everyone's choices, not the rules instilled by the people on earth at the beginning.

The meaning of survival must be one's own inheritance and reproduction.

The coming of the next generation

This is a very thoughtful film. In the context of high technology, only 30 people have reproduced the experience of our ancestors. The development of human society is a little condensed, and it is worth watching.
