Analyzing science fiction films not only from a psychological but also from a scientific perspective and identifying inconsistencies with reality seems rather unserious. Of course, you can find fault with anything. The plot is somewhat шаблонный, but nowadays it's becoming increasingly difficult to find an original science fiction plot; everything has been explored thoroughly, in my opinion. I didn't like Dead Space because of its шаблонность, although for some reason almost everyone likes it. It's a slightly different example, but it's still science fiction.
Of course, some scientific inaccuracies are permissible, but the implication is that in the future, things will be discovered that we don't know now. For example, I can't imagine how one could travel at超光速, and that doesn't bother me. However, in the film in question, the focus is not on unknown technologies, but on the increasing stupidity of viewers who are willing to accept the most absurd ideas. This is what causes so much dissatisfaction. In my opinion, this is a disrespectful attitude towards the audience to some extent.
The film "Pandorum" has a similar psychological story with a captain who has gone insane (in fact, "Pandorum" is the name of the disease), but the film doesn't seem contrived or depressing, and here's why.
- The film uses abstract, paranatural concepts (hypersleep,超光速, panspermia). And if, for example, the film states that the Earth was destroyed, it doesn't say HOW. It simply says , and the details are not important - the viewer will come up with a satisfactory explanation, and on the other hand, this adds variability to the plot.
In addition, an important role is played by the scientific theory underlying the film's plot - traveling through time and space = 5, the origin of life in the universe = 5, bombing the sun with nuclear bombs = 3-
