Mission to Mars

Recently, a great event happened in the world aerospace field-NASA released a panoramic photo of Mars with 65.438+0.8 billion pixels for the first time, which immediately triggered a global hot discussion.

This also marks a step closer to landing on Mars. For decades, human exploration of Mars has never stopped. I believe that it won't be long before man will land on Mars. In fact, the scene of human landing on Mars was filmed as early as 20 years ago in mission to mars. This film depicts the grand blueprint for human exploration and landing on Mars.

This is also the most ambitious film in 2000, which not only "previewed" the great event of human exploration of Mars in 2020 with great imagination, but even directly staged the landing on Mars. The production cost is also as high as 654.38 billion US dollars (equivalent to 700 million yuan). In addition, NASA experts are hired as technical consultants to control the details and make every effort to create an epic space science fiction film.

After 20 years of word-of-mouth precipitation, the film has also become a sci-fi classic recognized by domestic fans, especially in the last 20 minutes, which is even more jaw-dropping and can be called the benchmark of science fiction films.

However, in contrast, the situation in the year when the film was released was regrettable. Originally, I wanted to hit the historical box office record of science fiction films, but because of a mistake, I accidentally encountered a word-of-mouth tragedy, and then the global box office failed, and finally I had to end tragically.

The story of the film takes place in 2020: Jim McConnell, the designer of the Mars program, and Maggie McConnell, his wife, prepared 12 for landing on Mars, but withdrew from the program due to the unfortunate death of their wives. Luke Graham (played by don cheadle) succeeded him as the director of Mars-1 and landed on Mars with three astronauts, Nick, Renee and Sergej.

A group of people found the "face of Mars" on Mars, which was found in 1976. This is a mountain with a face.

So Luke took the team members to the mountains for field investigation. They received a signal from the mountain, but when scanning with radar, they were caught in a sudden storm. Except for Luke who escaped, all three people were killed in the storm.

The Earth Space Station captures Luke's distress signal, and Jim and Woody Black (played by Tim Robbins) convince the head of the space station, Lei Mier Baker, to let them drive a Mars rescue spacecraft to Mars for rescue. Woody is the commander-in-chief of the spaceship, Jim is the adjutant, and Woody's wife Terry Fisher and pilot Phil Homer accompany him.

However, when the Mars rescue spacecraft entered the orbit of Mars six months later, it was attacked by a meteoroid, which caused the tail of the spacecraft to explode. The four people had no choice but to give up the spacecraft and fly into space in spacesuits, trying to intercept and transfer to the on-orbit replenishment cabin.

In this process, Woody took the lead in hooking the supply cabin with a cable, but was thrown into space and sacrificed heroically. Although Tim Robbins, our favorite movie star, didn't play many roles in the film, he left this tragic scene in the history of science fiction movies.

Jim, Terry and Phil successfully landed on Mars with the help of the supply module, and found the Mars No.1 base, where they joined forces with Luke smoothly. Luke has deciphered the signal from the hill at this time. After reconstruction with the mathematical model, the 3D model presented is a string of DNA chains, which is very similar to human DNA.

After receiving the signal, the facial mound slowly opened a crack, thus solving the mystery of human origin. It turns out that Mars once had a highly developed civilization. After being hit by an asteroid, the whole natural environment of Mars was destroyed.

After the disaster, Martians fled Mars by spaceship and immigrated to other galaxies. One of the spaceships came to the earth and injected primitive life into the earth. So life on earth comes from Mars, and human beings are descendants of Martians.

Finally, the Martians invited everyone to their new home. Jim lost his attachment to the earth because of his wife's death, so he decided to stay and explore this unknown planet. The rest of you leave the base, go back to the supply module and drive it back to earth.

The film combines the exploration of Mars with the discovery of alien civilization, presenting a grand and interesting story for the audience. With the help of NASA experts, the design of space station and spacecraft and the details of the surface of Mars in the film are extremely particular, which improves the professionalism and appreciation of the film.

There are more than 400 CGI special effects pictures in the film, and a 55-acre simulated surface of Mars was built in Fraser Dune, south of Vancouver, Canada, which is extremely rare in the world film history. Includes covering the surface with a layer of cement, carving the shape of sand dunes on it, and then spraying red latex paint for dyeing. It is said that it used a full 65,438+200,000 gallons. The spacesuits worn by the actors are also very expensive, weighing 62 pounds, and each set costs 654.38 million+US dollars. In order to shoot this sci-fi epic, the actors also suffered a lot. In order to simulate the real weightlessness in the spacecraft on the ground, the crew launched a large number of dangerous cliffs and artificial collaborative photography. We noticed that the film borrowed from "200 1 A Space Odyssey", which made the spacecraft rotate to produce centrifugal force instead of gravity, so a drum-shaped inner cabin appeared, which was carefully designed.
