The film is about our real scary and horrible present, which many deny and many accept.
I have read the reviews and completely disagree with no one. First of all, this movie is overly scientific, which no one has noticed. It is scientific in everything, from the very theory of the probable future and the stratification of society into those with Knowledge (in the Citadel) and those who are wildlings - barbarians in the woods - to the prototype biocomputer of the future, on which Vesper manipulates the seed genome, trying to grow a miracle seed tomato that can feed her village.
The Vesper girl is presented as a revolutionary, claiming the right to Knowledge and wanting to help people live well. Everything is simple and beautiful. This is not an ostentatious universe with refined heroes. This is reality as it is. Behind this is our future, and we are already in it, up to our tomatoes, which, by the way, already wanted to grow on Mars (the film The Martian), and on the Moon (in the Chinese mission), and in "Waterworld" ...
I really liked it. I am a scientist and after the movie I for the first time thought about a high-quality microscope as expensive as an apartment... I want to look at viruses and conduct genetic experiments, like the heroine of the movie did...
In general, the idea of social stratification in the future is shown by all 1500%, and a special award is needed for it in this young science fiction genre: the Golden Tikhodka (c).
