1. Date: 2267 AD.
2. Background: The earth is no longer suitable for human life for some reason. The last group of humans escaped the earth and lived on the huge space station in low-Earth orbit; at the same time, they were also looking for a second planet suitable for human habitation in outer space. Rhea, which was promoted by the provisional government to be transformed into a habitable planet, can only be lived with enough money or luck.
3. Language: German, Japanese.
4. Characters: A cargo ship bound for the RH42 space station in the Orth Nebula, with a crew including: female doctor Laura Portman, Captain Lacroix, First Officer Anna Lindbergh, Japanese system administrator Miyuki Yoshida, mechanics Vespucci and Prokoff, and for Newly joined Air Force Lieutenant Decker to prevent terrorist attacks.
5. Plot: Each person in the spaceship sleeps for 8 months, and Laura finds other people in the extremely cold cargo warehouse when she is on duty. Decker and the captain woke up one after another. When the three men went to the warehouse to search separately, the captain fell from a high container and died; all the crew were awakened to investigate the matter and repair the damaged warehouse door. As the plot develops, Laura et al. find that there are sleeping compartments in the cargo compartment and people with implanted electronic devices in the sleeping compartments. Decker is actually a member of the "terrorist" propaganda by the government, but the truth is: the government The claimed Titan is only a virtual world. Those who are on Rhea, including Laura's sister, are living in a virtual world, and the earth has become suitable for human habitation. In order to finally expose the lie, Laura and Decker together sent a message to everyone in the space station in the virtual world, telling people the truth of the matter, while blowing up the antenna of the RH42 space station, permanently interrupting the real and virtual worlds" Rhea" link. However, because the oxygen in the space suit was damaged, Decker gave Laura the oxygen cylinder and stayed in space forever.
6. Sci-fi settings:
1) Medical examination, the cause or damage can be completely detected by scanning;
2) Dormancy, with electronic equipment and oxygen masks on the upper body and head, lying in a cold viscous liquid, and entering a dormant state;
3) A huge space city, the spinning robot suspended in near-Earth space at the beginning of the movie The double ring space city is really spectacular;
4) Micro communication equipment, much like a big mobile phone, with a protruding antenna, which can communicate in outer space;
5) Cargo warehouse/container, huge container, much larger than a container ( Of
course, the current logistics technology can also do it, but the scale of this container is much larger, and each cabinet can accommodate tens of thousands of sleeping compartments)
6) Virtual technology, implanting electronic devices in the human spine, through The interface is connected to the virtual world;
7) Spaceship, there is no specific description, but from the perspective of the container and cargo space, the volume should be quite large, and the speed is also very fast;
8) The spacesuit, and the appearance of the spacesuit used by astronauts now No difference;
7. Some thoughts on the subject:
1) The virtual world and the real world. Arguing on this topic, there is a better movie, the Matrix, which is of course different. The matrix in the Matrix is ​​created by the mechanical life, and the human being is only the "food" or energy source of the mechanical life; but in this movie In the film, the virtual world was created by human beings to avoid the coldness of the real mechanical world and the nostalgia and recollection of the good life on earth in the past, so the film also set up the plot where Vespucci and Prokoff finally entered the virtual world, because anyone Everyone should have the right to choose. In that cruel reality and beautiful virtual, I think many people will choose the latter. In fact, I think that with the development of advanced technology, no matter what the earth is like, a virtual world is likely to appear in the end, and the current online game is the prototype of this world.
2) Earth and humans. No one can escape this topic. The earth is a beautiful home for mankind. I have heard the sentence countless times, but in fact human beings have never faced this point. People continue to destroy and plunder, perhaps only when they lose all this. will regret. Science and technology and interests are not everything people pursue. When they get these, they lose the earth and the home with wonderful sunshine, grass, ivy, green trees and blue sky. The film doesn't have much direct depiction of the Earth, it just shows it all from the side.
3) Love, affection. Decker's last move reminds me of Jack in Titanic, which is touching. Of course, many people will say it's too cliche, but that kind of behavior is beyond love; Laura's sister and children live in a virtual world, and the little girl rescued from the sleeping chamber, motherhood and family affection run through the whole What the movie wants to tell people is that no matter where you are, no matter how the world changes, having these feelings is the meaning and essence of human existence.

    On the flat chested, it is already a masterpiece. At the beginning, it showed a kind of loneliness and helplessness in outer space, the fear of the unknown, and the whole atmosphere was created. The interaction between the characters is not very good

    The plot is alright. Generally, the movies made by Europeans are always incomprehensible. This one is average, much better than the disgusting "Dante No. 1", but it is still non-mainstream, and the plot and narrative are quite poor. No matter which environment humans go to, they will immediately destroy the environment. Humans are basically no different from locusts. I think the highlights of this film are the scenes and props. The old effect is very natural. Although the CG is a bit amateur, the overall design is not bad.
