There is only one real bug

Do you really fail to see the psychological problems of the author who claims to be a scientific worker who deliberately writes film reviews in both Chinese and English, pretending to inadvertently expose himself to study in the United States but writes a journal in 90% Chinese and 10% junior high school English? To watch his film reviews, you need to bring your own BGM "How Lonely Is Invincible".

Watching it twice, it is a qualified monster movie, and the cast is a bit wasteful. It may also be that these stars themselves are science fiction fans, or they are more concerned about the themes of the contact between humans and alien creatures and have fallen in value.
Regarding those who stupidly point out that they are more thoughtful and rigorous and intelligent than the astronauts in the film, they may never understand what kind of industry the aviation industry is. In Aldrin's words, they are like landing on the moon in a washing machine. The generation of astronauts who landed on the moon was sent to the moon for the space race using immature technology.
Not to mention the monster movie routines that this movie abandons, (actually it is a very gorgeous monster movie, if the audience is scared, it is the success of a monster movie). The underlying logic is: there is no perfect plan, no foolproof action. Human spaceflight is accompanied by trial and error and sacrifice. Far away, let alone the astronauts sacrificed by the US and the Soviet Union, it was all because of tiny mistakes and negligence. Even today, the reason for the continuous explosion of Elon Musk’s launch rocket is due to some extremely small errors. The mechanism by which our universe works is the mistake of the old man himself. What will never exist in this world is the right system (only in the brains of arrogant humans). When a chemical substance can replicate itself, no error means no mutation and evolution, and no error means a universe that is not friendly to biology. The universe that is not friendly to creatures can operate like precision machinery without human beings, and thus no human beings will look up to the universe itself.

In the field of human engineering, only aviation and aerospace can compete with indelible errors, because small errors in these fields have serious consequences. Even in the automotive industry, the most successful engineering field for mankind, mistakes are allowed. When the entire Audi production line entered China's FAW, it was inevitable that the engine would burn oil when the assembly line was completely reproduced. It is the result of a number of minor errors that have been burned by the domestic Audi. In the aerospace field, the accumulation of such errors will cause serious consequences. Therefore, additional costs will continue to be added to solve such problems with other engineering solutions. Therefore, aerospace is an extremely money-burning industry, and even if unlimited additional investment is required, it is still not complete. Eliminate errors. The reason why China has become the world's safest aerospace country with the least number of accidents, in addition to the high standards of safety, also stems from a fundamental: the purpose of China's aerospace is to generate foreign exchange for the country, not to touch the boundaries of technology for human beings. This is that we don't have a rocket that has the same thrust as Saturn. Under that kind of thrust, the probability of a Chinese rocket exploding will increase sharply. We are very smart to control the rocket series to the most mature model, and leave the risks, explosions and embarrassment to NASA in the United States. And NASA in the United States is happy, and it is up to local tyrants like Musk to take on some trial and error. Musk's returnable rocket is challenging another frontier of human engineering technology.

Back to the film, the entire space station used as a firewall is designed to deal with the possibility of alien threats is limited, and the unknown is unlimited, and the human imagination is also limited. Perhaps this space station may be designed to shield the Hulking Monster, but it must not be able to prevent Calvin and all the life forms in the universe whose abilities exceed Calvin. We can imagine the infinite possibilities of the universe. It is not that there are several creatures that are more adaptable than human beings. The number of creatures surpassing Calvin is unlimited. Another possibility is that these creatures do not exist, otherwise human beings will be eliminated if they can't even have science and technology. As well as the possibility in the film, we have not been eliminated because we have not really contacted yet. And the result of contact must be weaker than humans and stronger than humans. The possibilities are endless. Therefore, mankind must make a choice, whether to explore the unknown at the risk of extinction. Unfortunately, we humans risk our lives for curiosity. Without this instinct, we would not leave Africa and leave the earth.

Calvin was evolved in a harsh environment, which means that all creatures with low survivability, or low solar energy utilization, have entered a deadly evolutionary alley on Mars. Kelvin is a possibility to be eliminated under the harsh environment of Mars. It directly uses water and oxygen, has a distributed neural network of cells, and "muscles." It does not need a center, a high-energy-consuming brain, but a decentralized organism. Its intelligence may not be higher (nor lower) than humans, but its unit energy consumption is lower than humans. This is enough to eliminate humans. Just as horse-drawn carriages use solar energy less efficiently than cars, so we don’t ride horse-drawn carriages anymore. When can electric cars surpass cars? It is very simple when the conversion rate of solar energy is higher than that of fossil energy. Calvin is now a creature that is more efficient than humans. This is the place to think carefully.

Finally, let’s talk about the bug in the film. The real thing is that the black scientist violated gravity. It sweated when the Kelvin was activated nervously, and the sweat ran down its cheeks. This is contradictory to the weightlessness of the entire space station. After the hand was crushed and fractured, when he pulled out the glove, he sank sinfully according to the gravity of the earth.

As for why gloves are used, I still think that the biological possibilities of death are unlimited, and engineering ability can only be responsible for a small part of them. When single cells were discovered from Mars, humans were guarding against the threat of microbes, because earth creatures must have no antibodies against extraterrestrial microbes. And what is the probability that a handful of cells will instantly turn into a clump of infinite keyboard cleaning glue? The prior probability is too small to be worth a lot of engineering design and investment for this possibility. All problems are 100% only after they occur, and the prior probability before they occur is distributed. It is impossible for human engineering to cover all possibilities, and can only cover those possibilities with the greatest probability before things happen. And our estimated prior probability comes from experience, and we are ignorant of the universe, so the tragedy in the film happened. This may be what the director wants to tell us through this film.

    It's a bit of a routine, and this alien creature is too open, it can't die in a vacuum environment, but it can still move flexibly... If there are such creatures in the Martian soil, I don't know how much it would have blown over earlier...
