【Movie Introduction】
In the distant future, humanity left the overwhelmed Earth and continued civilization in new galaxies, and the planets at the center of those galaxies formed alliances and constantly tried to incorporate remote and barbaric planets into their spheres of influence. Under this policy of the Alliance, the teenage girl Riva was transformed into a sharp and athletic fighting machine. Rayva's brother Simon rescues him and takes him to The Tranquility, a former member of the Resistance, Marr's transport ship. On the other hand, in order to prevent the leakage of information that Riva may have, the Union Parliament has sent vicious envoys to pursue it endlessly. Marr and his party are repeatedly in danger due to Reeva's battle mode being awakened by the Alliance, and the crew has to make a difficult trip to the edge of the world under the resistance of the irrational cosmic marauders and the Alliance, Molanda, where a criminal past that the Alliance does not want to show is buried...
【Reason for recommendation】
This film can be called a space cowboy, with a flamboyant personality, bright rhythm, passionate, and extremely entertaining value, and is a very pleasing movie. On the plot, in fact, there is nothing new, the United States people always like to ridicule the government, the alliance in the film is replaced by the American government, the black envoy is replaced by the fbi/cia that wipes the ass of the government, the predator is replaced by the Middle East terrorist (the American government has supported the Middle East terrorists), and many movies are in this pattern, such as Bruceville's "Mercury Pursuit Order". Similarly, the little girl River in the film, like the little boy in Mercury, has neurological peculiarities, River is a psychic and superb killing machine, and the people who study her probably want to show her to the core figures of the parliament, so she is psychic and learns of a big conspiracy, so this is also a good explanation why the researcher was executed in the first place.
Probably because of the change from the series, the screenwriter of the film is quite old, the first half of the film is a bit suspenseful, the main line chases the secrets in the little girl's brain, very gripping, the scene switching is also very beautiful, the opening 2 virtual (the little girl's dream, holographic security video) to the real plot, people are quite surprised and addicted. From the perspective of the whole film, the main idea is the process of the captain of the spaceship Mal to find and adhere to the faith, the captain is full of cowboy style, free and uninhibited, and the appearance of the businessman cannot hide the soul of the warrior, which reminds me of Captain Solo in "Star Wars", the classic reproduction.
