Atlas (2024)

Scientific Review: The message of Atlas(Embrace the era of AI robots and cyborg transformation)
25 May 2024
Warning: Spoilers
I want to evaluate this movie from a conspiracy theory perspective. The main character in this film harbors a deep-seated distrust and aversion to AI and Neuralink. This is likely due to some childhood trauma. Anyway, the protagonist initially rejects AI Robot and Neuralink but eventually embraces it, falls in love with AI, and by the end, is connected to the AI through Neuralink, leading to a sort of happy ending. Isn't that funny?

Neuralink is the first step towards humans becoming cyborgs. And in this movie, the protagonist suffers a leg injury and gets a robotic leg. By the end, her brain is merged with AI through Neuralink, and with her robotic leg, she evolves into a near-cyborg state.

So, in my view, the filmmaker is trying to send a subliminal message, engaging in "Predictive Programming" to make future anti-AI movements, like potential modern-day Luddites, accept AI, Neuralink, and cyborg transformation.

It's likely that one of the biggest hidden investors in this movie is Elon Musk. Haha

Of course, I'm a huge fan of Sci-Fi, especially scenes featuring robots and space. And I'm not an anti-AI supporter, so I really enjoyed this movie.

If an AI uprising were to occur in the future, the commander tasked with this mission shouldn't hastily send their crew to a planet in the Andromeda galaxy right from the start. Instead, they should first deploy reconnaissance drones to spy on the actions of the AI rebels. Take note, future Terminator commanders. Haha. Of course, it's also true that we on Earth are being watched by UFO drones sent by aliens. Fortunately, unlike in the Netflix series Three-Body Problem, we aren't scientifically advanced enough to pose a significant threat, so the aliens haven't attacked us yet; they're just keeping an eye on us. Haha.

P.s.: I was surprised to find out that this movie isn't classified as a Sci-Fi genre. Why isn't Sci-Fi listed as one of its genres? Doesn't the filmmaker believe this movie depicts scientific and technological advancements that could exist in the future?

Just for reference, I want to point out some scientific aspects of this movie. The distance from Earth to the Andromeda Galaxy is 2.5 million light-years. According to Einstein's special theory of relativity (which has been proven true), traveling to a location 2.5 million light-years away from Earth and returning at the speed of light would mean a total of 5 million years would pass on Earth. If the protagonist travels at 99.9999% the speed of light, due to time dilation, only about 3535 years would pass for them inside the spaceship during the 2.5 million-year journey. So, for this movie to be scientifically accurate, when the protagonist makes a round trip to the Andromeda Galaxy and back, over 7000 years should have passed on Earth.

Therefore, for this movie to be scientifically feasible, using general relativity, the protagonist would need to use warp drives or wormholes to shorten the travel distance. This way, they wouldn't be affected by the special theory of relativity and would experience the same amount of time as on Earth. Of course, warp drives are still just a part of science fiction.

The 8 Show (2024– )
8/10
Social experiment drama shows are always welcome.
20 May 2024
This drama blends the gameplay and brutality of the Korean show Squid Game, the Japanese series Kaiji, and the Spanish movie Platform. While Some Korean dramas have become somewhat predictable, often ending in forced emotional climaxes that evoke tears, I still found this show quite entertaining. It offers numerous lessons, delving into human psychology and nature, as well as philosophical ideas like democracy, communism, socialism, dictatorship, and utilitarianism. The watchers monitoring through CCTV cameras in the drama could represent the elite globalists at the top of the capitalist pyramid, or they could symbolize us. After all, most of us likely enjoyed the show as mere spectators rather than feeling disturbed by it. Still, I always like and want to support this style of drama. That's why I believe it deserves at least an 8 out of 10. This drama had too many of his monologues and it was a bit annoying, so I deducted 1 star.

P. S. While watching Squid Game, I couldn't help but notice the irony that the creators and investors of "The 8 Show," including Netflix, are likely not members of the ordinary working class. Yet, they seem to be fans of George Orwell's Animal Farm. They seem to know us very well, understanding that instead of resisting upon learning the truth, we tend to accept reality and even strive to climb higher within the system's pyramid.

The Matrix (1999)
10/10
There is no more perfect philosophical science fiction film than Matrix.
3 March 2023
You probably won't find a science fiction film more philosophical and profound than this one. At least if you've seen it properly.

The first time I saw this movie, I was still in my teens. The shock of watching this movie at that time remains in my mind even decades later.

In particular, it had a great influence on my job and personality, my outlook on life, and philosophical thoughts about the future society. After watching this movie for the first time, I just thought that this world would simply be a virtual world without any scientific basis. But now it's completely different. Because "Quantum" theory and artificial intelligence are developing rapidly, and the world after "Singularity" will be completely different from now.

Now, that Matrix theory makes me strongly believe that sooner or later it may not just be an assumption, but a reality. Even after 2050 or 2100, it is assumed that the world will be completely different, but by 2200, where will the Earth and humans be heading? Perhaps, with the development of artificial intelligence and quantum computers, humans will create and experiment with their own "Matrix Universe". . Therefore, this film is not just a science fiction film, but a great work like a prophecy of the future society.

Prometheus (I) (2012)
10/10
For God's Sake, Who sabotage this film's rating?
3 October 2022
This is a very philosophical and profound cinematic movie after "Matrix", and a true "Sci-fi" movie that is not boring and very interesting. After watching this movie, I can't stand to watch fantasy and cartoon scifi movies anymore. Of course I watch Marvel series movies, but I don't want to call them "Real Sci-fi" except for "Ironman". This movie has contributed a lot to giving me more weight in the theory of alien human design among evolution, creation, and alien design. In particular, "David", an Android who is the representative character in this movie, makes us think about the true relationship between human beings and robots in the future human society full of artificial intelligence robots by the time we pass the point of "Singularity". Mise-en-scène, soundtrack, cinematic graphics, acting, tension and interesting elements, etc. It is by far the best work among "Ridley Scott" Sci-fi movies.

For me, Enjoyed a lot myself
25 June 2022
It is a remake that is compared to the original work in many ways, but I want to give this work a high score.

Above all, I enjoyed it more than the original work in terms of the mise-en-scene, camera quality, and tension of the action.

Of course, it is true that there are clumsy parts in the drama story, but I could see the effort to add outstanding dramatic elements despite the inherent limitations of the remake and the fact that the original work of 5 seasons had to be reduced to only season 2.

Of course, it is true that there are many parts that are a bit ironic and do not make sense in the part where the story assumes a unified future society, but that is because this work is a drama.

Squid Game: Ji-ok (2021)
Season 1, Episode 2
10/10
For me, this is the 2nd best episode !
3 May 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Most of the audiences who enjoyed SquidGame evaluate it based on the brutal violence and entertainment elements. I think Episode Two (Jo-Ok, Hell) has contributed greatly to completing a great work with a solid story and build-up, not just an entertaining violent drama. In particular, not many people expected the result of 001's vote. And the dramatic and heartbreaking stories of why the main characters had to rejoin the game made a certain resonance deep in my heart.
