After watching it, I didn't think about the movie, but thought about the issues mentioned in it.

Let’s talk about the movie first. Simply put, it is a lack of funds. I feel that the subject matter is better, and it belongs to near-future space science fiction, which makes people feel a little more realistic than some movies such as Star Trek. If the funds are sufficient, and if it is shot in the usual way, it should be a spectacular, very good movie. It's a pity, from the beginning to the end, I can feel that this movie lacks money and investment, and the number of actors and the scale of the scene are saved. The power of Human 2.0 can only be said by mouth, there is no lens for walking two steps, let alone any special effects. It can only be said that the theme pattern is too high-end, and the investment is too small to keep up. It is estimated that the money will go to the special effects of wormholes and aliens.
However, the issues mentioned in it are really worth thinking about. First of all, the combination of human brain and machine may actually be realized in the future. After all, this is obviously a feasible conjecture. However, even if it is realized, the possibility of development to civilian use will be very small, after all, humans are still very vulnerable in front of robots. Not to mention robots with human minds. If someone with violent tendencies is transplanted, the consequences will be serious. Then there is the question of the number of humans. Many people want world peace, and that's right. But if one day the world is at peace, the rate of human growth will suddenly increase a lot, and the problem of the balance between the number of normal and accidental deaths and the number of new born will become larger and larger. At that time, human beings will have to face the problem of lack of resources. . Even if there are still wars, human beings are still increasing, and it will be a matter of time to face the problem of lack of resources. There is also the destruction of nature. Environmental pollution is a thing that has never stopped since the development of modern technology. Even though every country is trying its best to control human pollution to the environment, the natural environment is still being destroyed little by little. Because many people are lucky, just like someone throwing clinker bags into the river, knowing that this will pollute, but they feel that they are making a big fuss, thinking how much pollution can a single clinker bag cause? Just like some small factories discharge wastewater, even if it is expressly stipulated that the wastewater must be reprocessed before it can be discharged, the factory owner still thinks about all kinds of ways to discharge it directly, because he thinks that it will cost a lot of money to buy sewage treatment equipment. is a waste. Even if you pollute this place and you have money in your hands, it's a big deal not to live here, and to go to a place with a good environment is not the same as living a good life. If the luck and selfishness of human beings are not corrected, the pollution will not stop, and eventually the earth is likely to become a planet unsuitable for living creatures. At the end of the movie, aliens gave mankind a new earth. The problems I mentioned above seem to have been resolved, but the competition for resources and the division of territories among various countries will continue to cause problems, which may eventually lead to wars, even nuclear wars. Even if these are finally resolved, who will go to the new planet and who will stay on the earth will be a problem. In the end, the biggest question left in the movie is, when humans arrive on a new planet, will they eventually destroy another planet and turn it into a devastated earth? These questions are worth thinking about.
Finally, I am thinking that if human technology develops in the future to the point where we can go to outer space to search for life and explore planets, we will definitely find many planets that are suitable for human habitation. At that time, will human beings no longer consider the protection of the planet's environment? Because there are so many choices, the big deal is to change the planet. If this is the case, then what is the difference between human beings and the aliens who invaded the earth in many movies. Well, I'm thinking a little too much, just thinking, don't spray, don't spray!

    Simple but unexpectedly beautiful

    Like a pseudo-documentary... also a human 2.0 project.. similar to the feeling of "advent"..

The Beyond quotes

  • Gillian: Is everything that we don't understand, is it something to be feared right off the bat as a knee-jerk reaction, or is there space that we can make to contemplate that there could be forces out there that really are on our side, and that are part of helping us evolve?

  • [last lines]

    Gillian: We were so obsessed with discovering new life when, on reflection, we have still yet to discover ourselves. We now have another chance to do just that.
