Of course, some scientific inaccuracies are permissible, but the implication is that in the future, something will be discovered that we don't know now. For example, I can't imagine how one could travel at superluminal speed, and that doesn't bother me. However, in the film in question, the focus isn't on unknown technologies, but on the increasing stupidity of viewers who are willing to swallow the most absurd ideas. That's what causes so much dissatisfaction. In my opinion, this is a disrespectful attitude towards the audience to some extent.
In the film "Pandorum," there's a similar psychological story with a captain who has gone mad (in fact, "Pandorum" is the name of the disease). However, the film doesn't seem contrived or depressing, and here's why.
- The film uses abstract, paranatural concepts (hyperson, superluminal speed, panspermia). And if, for example, the film states that the Earth was destroyed, it doesn't say HOW. It simply says , and the details aren't important – the viewer will come up with a satisfactory explanation, and on the other hand, this adds variability to the plot.
Furthermore, the scientific theory underlying the film's plot plays an important role: time and space travel = 5, the origin of life in the universe = 5, bombing the sun with nuclear bombs = 3.
Superluminal speed (like the speed of light) is impossible, as postulated by the theory of relativity; there are even formulas that show what happens to an object as it approaches the speed of light, and in general, only massless bodies, i.e., photons of light, can possess it. So, all these hyperspace jumps (a very relevant theme for science fiction) are no less of a scientific heresy than bombing the sun with nuclear bombs (by the way, what if the bomb doesn't ignite the sun but simply serves as a detonator?).

Time travel is not prohibited in principle, but there is absolutely no data on how it can be implemented, and the absence of messengers from the future in our time indirectly suggests that it is either impossible, or that one can only travel back to the point in time when a time machine already exists, i.e., it will not be possible to fly to the dinosaurs. But does that mean that the wonderful "Back to the Future" trilogy should be labeled "unrealistic nonsense" and sent to the scrap heap?
