      ​@@SpiritoftheSands Viruses are not alive. They do not maintain their internal structure (e.g. control its internal temperature, or its internal contents). They are not made of cells. Viruses do not have nuclei, organelles, or cytoplasm like cells do, and so they have no way to monitor or create change in their internal environment, general consensus is that viruses do not pass this first requirement for life. They do not reproduce. They don't have any reproduction structures in them on their own. Viruses manipulate host cells into building new viruses which means each virion is created in its fully-formed state, and will neither increase in size nor in complexity throughout its existence.

    Ok so heres how it happened as I understood it
    They were travelling faster than light while they were in hyperlight (which in theory is, that their time is going backwards but the causal of things still play out as normal time. This is how Relativity plays out. For them, time is still running forward but an outside observer sees their time running backwards)
    So the 1st Solis arrived there, sent out a distress signal, which was picked up by the 2nd Solis (which was still in backwards time, inside the hyperlight). The difference of the one outside of the hyperlight and the one inside it is 2 hours. In essence it was like "they arrived there 2 hrs before they were actually there". Its like sending a telephone call from the future them to be picked up by their past themselves.
    So back to the normal time. The first Solis is intact but then Emiliana was killed as per the guy's statement. Which made him alive and Emiliana dead in that ship. The second Solis arrived but for some reason it exploded and as protocol, the computer sent them out into space. Emiliana saves herself and her Phillip and went aboard the first Solis where only Philip was alive. Since the 2 Philips are in the same time line, only the one in normal time is awake and the other one was in a state of superposition (dead and alive at the same time) Only when she killed the future Philip did time collapse to create the reality in which both people were alive
    There was no time loop but a "wrinkle in time". When the first Solis was supposed to have a part of it exploded (which killed Emiliana and kept Philip alive) the second Solis picked up the same event in time but played out a different future. In that future, Emiliana and Philip survived while their ship did not. The future Philip (alive) and the present Philip (in superposition) existed on the same timeline. As long as the future Philip is alive, the other Philip will be in a state of superposition because his version of the future should be different from the other. Only when the future Philip was killed that the wrinkle it time was ironed out. Its as if the other future did not exist at all.

    • @Statutum
      @Statutum 3 роки тому +23

      Amazing analysis, but one thing that irks me, I think the explosion that killed the original Emilia, was the second ship arriving, the beacon from that event would still hit a ship in "negative" time, or behind time - So, it's a weird scenario, and I could be wrong, but I'd love to think I'm right.

      these are neat but they're not at the level of our top films. these are 3rd world quality. while they're inventive and sort of slick, they are still amateur and while they seem to know what they WANT to do, they don't know how to really make it. the big companies use server farms and have techniques that aren't available on google. it takes serious finesse and there are special techniques that... are not present here when it come to CG. this is like... really great "sci-fi channel" material but no better. this is NOT billion dollar box office hit; only sophomore level where senior would be graduate, but um... "marvel" is PhD.

    Holy shit. It's not time travel, it's dimension-hopping! Into a universe that isn't perfectly time-aligned. The realities converse and make a new reality. Their clothes are different. The dead versions weren't romantically involved like the two who survived in the end. Her Philip was experiencing the Schrodinger's cat experiment, 'alive but not', for why he was in stasis and his vitals couldn't be read.

      You're so spot on. It's Dimension-hopping. I've had dreams of doing this and in one dream I worked for a secret government organization called Quantum Dynamics. We were trying to experiment with time travel but accidently found dimension travel instead. Weird thing about this is, I googled said company and it actually exists. It's a government contractor since 2002, and part of their funding goes to a group called Dimensions International. Mind blown! They claim they're in communications, but now I'm really freaked out.

    I think the movie shows that humans can be even colder and more calculating than the machines. Everyone is wondering why Ada is such a lame voice assistant, but actually Ada was more human than Emilianna giving her a warning before she sent Philip into the space. And looking how Emilianna hugs him in the end, I am pretty sure she would take another scary rational decision, if the situation changes. Philip is never safe with this girl.

    I loved it, not only because my youngest daughter is called Melody, who is a daydreamer ("Focus, Melody!?") and I would love her to follow in my footsteps and play guitar, but also because when she was 2 yrs old and we got her a toy kitchen and she would ask "what would you like?" to which the only reply she would accept was "soup".

    Okay, this is my best guess at what is going on here... someone tell me if I'm even close.
    I think it was the broken down ship that actually traveled in time. That is why Phil was shocked to hear the date and time. Emeliana's 2 hour difference, however, lines up pretty well with the "current" time.
    So, that means the first ship had a malfunction that not only brought them out of FTL but also sent them back in time. They send out a signal which by pure coincidence is picked up by themselves prior to breaking down, etc. That earlier version picks up the signal and heads to the broken down ship. When they get into proximity of the other ship, the same matter in/near the same space takes effect with the older ship (the broken down one) getting "priority". This causes the younger ship to malfunction and explode... but not before their pods can be ejected by the computer. The explosion kills the older Emeliana which wakes the younger one up in the pod. She rescues her Phil.
    Once on the ship it becomes clear what has happened. When she goes to do repairs she discovers that the ship isn't going anywhere. They are pretty much stranded there for what will probably be an extremely long time. This leaves Emeliana with a hard choice. Leaving her Phil in a coma state isn't realistic. It wastes resources and... well, he has no hope of ever recovering as long as the older Phil is still near and alive. And we know she doesn't see the older Phil as being "her" Phil by the way she comforts him on his loss of "his" Emeliana. So, she makes the hard choice to kill him so she can get her Phil back.
    Once she does that, they basically just live out their lives on the ship until hopefully they some day get rescued.
    Btw, there is no time "loop" or anything like that. They basically just created a kind of rewrite of the timeline. Some might see it as a paradox. However, if you view time travel as just you moving from your reality to an alternate past reality, then altering yourself in that past would have no actual effect on you personally... it would just alter the normal course of the alternate reality version of you.

      No, the malfunction sent the ship, still one ship at this point, forward in time, leaving itself behind in the current timeline. The forward in time version of the ship, of course, got there early, whereupon it issued a distress call. Which is picked up by themselves, only 2 hours behind. Brilliant.
      But of course that can't be right if he loved her in one reality but not the other. I think the story mixes some premises. In the end it falls back on the multiverse, which is too easy in a sci-fi plot.
      So I guess, the two ships from similar but different universes happened to be in the same place, 'at the same time', or within 2 hours, which is enough to cause a temporal dichotomy. One that causes chips to explode and people to sort of die. How was it that necrosis and cell death didn't occur? What exactly was keeping his heart from beating again? All the components of the ship are intact, yet apparently complicated electronics malfunction to the point of blowing your ship up.. Meh.
      Still loved it. It takes quality sci-fi to get a nerd like me to break out the intellect to poke holes in it. Can't believe I'm just now discovering these people.

    Why is no-one talking about this: When Amelia tries to be affectionate with Philip he says that in his timeline him and Amelia don’t get along. And by the airlock Amelia says something about “Whatever she did, I’m sorry”, and he answers “He’s going to find out”. That has the be the reason that they don’t get along, right? So I think he finds out (maybe even kills Amelia because of it), and then the cycle repeats?

I did not know i was claustrophobic till i had to go into one. Like a coffin! I lasted about 20 seconds and had to abort. No can do. Thank God they make open side ones now that are not nearly as bad. You have not experienced unreasoning fear till you see a wall 2" from your face for an extended period. The nurse told me 1 out of 5 refuse to go in them by this unreasoning fear. Stranger still, mostly men more than women are affected. I had a job as a foreman taking asbestos off steam generators at a nuclear power plant and had a man freak out because he had on a full paper suit and respirator. I had to hold him down to keep him from ripping his mask off in a confined space full of dust. He completely lost it. We rushed him up the ladder just in time. I can tell you i could not go into one of those rescue buoys that confining. I would rather perish where i can have full body movement first. No kidding.

    Wonderful movie. Fantastic acting and an engaging paradox, even if the ending was slightly predictable.

    I thought this was going to end with them sending out a distress signal and the woman going out on a space walk to try and fix things, starting the loop all over again :)

      I think that's what the writer is implying, they just don't tell the full story and leave it for you to figure it out.

      well she told to phillip 1 that they will stay there for a long time.
      Meaning that she will not generate another loop, by sending the SOS immediately.

      Nah, not possible, because that means the loops would all take place in this specific reality, meaning that the bodies, duplicate ship debris, and everything else would end up piling up after a while, however millions of loops that would take, and would break the cycle.
      So, no, not a time loop, as that wouldn't be feasible.

    A taut, if mildly contrived, thriller with outstanding performances, especially from Jeananne Goossen as Emiliana. Perhaps best known as Dr. Krista Bell-Hart on the forgettable NBC medical drama, "Night Shift," Goossen's mere presence as Emiliana -- electrifying yet oddly creepy -- draws the viewer in from the get-go and deftly draws out the suspense from each scene.
    The action and sci-fi tech are solid for a limited-budget short, and the writing, crisp. The script keeps the film well-paced with an adriot use of exposition and evenly plotted tension, while the direction by Nguyen-Anh Nguyen is first-rate. I'm not sure how or if this would work as a feature-length film. The story and characters would have to be not expanded, and perhaps even overhauled a bit, to a 90-minute-plus run time dramatically -- and emotionally -- sustainable. 3.8/5.

    Honestly after watching some of these space documentaries, I'm utterly perplexed by this company's ability to acquire what seems to be astronomical amounts of funding and curious as to the source of the seemingly endless supply of qualified willing candidates needed to carry out these missions since every single one so far has had some kind of major problem, up to and including in some cases, body death.
