A lot of stuff like this on YouTube: recaps of science fiction films, perhaps AI-generated? The recaps, I mean. This way, you don´t have to waste two hours of your life watching an entire B-movie, LOL.
The first recap is of a recent Russian movie, "Forsaken", which actually could be interesting. The plot revolves around a failed mission to Mars which is turned into a succesful reality TV show by an unscrupulous broadcasting corporation - unfortunately a very realistic scenario! There is also a kind of pseudo-philosophical message (of course, it´s a Russian film) which sounds like a mixture of Gnosticism and atheist materialism. *We* created the universe to become conscious of ourselves...only to go astray and do evil instead. Hence, we - not some gods or aliens - are the creators. But note that this message is revealed to the stranded cosmonaut by a god-like being on Mars...
The other recap is of "A Sound of Thunder", which seems to be a more typical American science fiction/horror film. Time travel, temporal paradoxes, "the butterfly effect", that kind of thing. Evolution goes haywire as reptiloid baboons descend on an unsuspecting US city amid an invasion of primordially tropical plant species. Note the nod to global warming.
Interestingly, the bad guys in *both* films are evil capitalists.
Make of this content what you wish.
