Scientists Land on a New Planet But Turns Out it's Earth 4 Billion Years Ago

After Earth's resources have been completely depleted, a group of astronauts travels across space to find the perfect planet to terraform only to get stranded on a dangerous new land.

what’s up with sci-fi movies and astronauts being absolutely insane??

[Wisenotes]

Every movie shows us that we can go far away from our home planet and terraform other planets to make them habitable but it never shows us that we can make our own home planet better if we all try.

This shows how important the psychological evaluation of a crew is. If you don't strictly sort them out, you end up with a crew like the one in this movie.

So many sci-fi movies set in a malfunctioning spacecraft and the characters struggling to troubleshoot and repair it while under time pressure and weird things happening or some alien lifeform causing trouble. Like "Mission To Mars", "Passengers", "Event Horizon", "Wall-E", "Pandorum", "Sunshine", "Gravity", etc. So much so, it should be a sci-fi sub-genre: "spacecraft disaster survival movies."

A never ending loop of alternate timelines.

[wayneholmes]

The biggest problem with this movie is where did the alien machine come from. How did it come into existance. The machine they found in the future was the exact same one they had sent back to the past. So where did it come from?

Also why did they never previously notice the writing from the past inside the bracelet thing which always would have been there too as there is only a single timeline from the past to the future?

This is what happens when you completely ignore the pitfalls of inventing stories involving time travel.

What happened to dude that stayed in the ship? He is just stuck a billion years in the past.

[juke]

Rip to Ryan man seemed like he was the only leader with some sense and humanity

Safety protocols be damned I'm calling the shots now. YEEEE HAAAAW.

Wait there’s a paradox that can’t be resolved. The alien sphere has no origin. They find it and take it to the past, which is how they’re able to find it in the future. It didn’t come from anything.

[Zaadin]

The sphere was created to terraform earth and colonize it by aliens, however, there was a glitch in the sphere which led to the creation of humans. Eventually, humanity finds the sphere, recreates it and accidently goes backwards in time- possibly before the sphere first arrived in the original timeline- thus causing the aliens to choose a different planet to colonize. This sphere still has the same glitch it originally had, so even though they all die and the 'alien' program executes, it still results in humanity. And that's how the infinite loop began and is maintained. Its possible if they'd managed to change the coding, it would have Not produced humans, thus breaking the cycle, but because the 'alien' programing happened, the glitch that made humans continues to happen. Its weird. Just because there's a loop doesn't mean there isn't a starting point or a stopping point. Chaos theory says eventually the loop will end.

I had to check my playback settings to be sure I didn't have it on 1.5x.
That was speedy! Thanks!!

A loss of that much oxygen would increase or decrease atmospheric pressure, depending on what replaced it, to such a degree that all animal life would be dead long before we could put a bunch of psychos on a rocket to fight about it.

[Shadowcub]

Another crew who somehow didn't get the psych eval.

[Headcase]

Watching these recaps may be my new favorite way of watching movies!

[noelramirez]

Wouldn't it make more sense if humans created the sphere as a probe and sent it out to space and the sphere accidentally goes through a worm hole sending it back to earth before it had life on it and since the probe had microbes it jump starts life and then people in the past find it and the process repeats itself

[Rosivok]

Not one of these insane people would have made it into the space program.

[antondelacruz]

Its like somebody wrote a more sensible version of prometheus.

Edit: my comment is about the story of this film vs the story of a film which confused the canon and continuity of a well established and understood franchise. I really dont care to answer childish rants about the acting or the movie industry or your ugly wives, all of which may exist but were irrelevant to my comment.

[DeusExAstra]

I'm curious how they would determine that the alien artifact was 4 billion years old. I mean, if they're using some kind of carbon dating (or something like that that relies on isotope decay), then this all happening in a time loop means the artifact would be like infinitely old... right? There's no time when it was created. So any decay going on would have long ago decayed everything in the object to non-radioactive isotopes.

Your videos are nice, and it would be even nicer if you would let people know the name of the movie. Don't worry even if you let the world know the name, we will still watch your videos, just thought it should be said.
