A very embarrassing space drama

"Interstellar Exploration" personal viewing essay, informal film review

Say something roughly~

Before watching the movie, I made up for several space exploration movies at home. I wanted to continue this expectation and emotion.

But when I came out of the cinema, he didn't seem to live up to my expectations, so mediocre

From Brad Pitt's narration, I can feel that the director wanted to tell a different space movie, but it backfired, and the movie became extremely boring from the point where the moon went to Mars.

Until the end, father-son love, human nature, spirit of exploration, loneliness, everything involved, but nothing sublimated.

The story transitions between several planets are too blunt, as if the entire solar system has become extremely small, and each planet has become a gashapon with no sense of existence.

Interstellar exploration is just a victim of Tommy Lee Jones's depression~

The thunder is loud and the rain is small. The overall framework is a bit like "Interstellar" and "The Martian". It is an awkward position between the two. There is no thunder and rumbling of the former, and there is no subtle and empty raindrops of the latter. Powerless!

Maybe the universe is so boring, there is nothing, just like living, lifeless~

    Film-noir monologues are inevitably superfluous, but they also invisibly lay the engine that drives the entire film. As a "traumatic detective", Pete calms the contradiction between existence and annihilation in the search for the vast sea of ​​stars, and ends the troubles. After his own "obsession case", he finally completed self-healing. Celestial bases and space stations are both clue locations, carrying types of entertainment functions, just like western gold rush stories or hard-core detective novels, just like common signs in works of the same theme in recent years. The infinite freedom of space in geometric modeling and spiritual sustenance gave Gray a new possibility to analyze and explore the materialization of the inner image of the characters, and no longer follow the trekking in the cities and jungles of Coppola and Herzog, which catalyzed it. The organic evolution of space and roles is unified into a more advanced audio-visual life, which can be seen from the conservative perspective of countless helmets, hatches, and pilots. The shining stars still emit classicism.

    The second brush did not change much. Pete's performance is indeed quite sincere, but it is said that most of the monologue lines are added by the company, and I feel that there is too little information... Recently, space movies have been discussing personal emotions. Is the emptiness of human beings on the earth unsolvable... But in space Still not resolved. The soundtrack has nothing to do with it, no matter how the space film is shot like this, it’s really boring.
