No budget for inside alien ship
It was empty! What the heck?
shareLOL!
But, seriously, what more would the AI/alien need?
On the other hand, I wish they would have spent a bit more time on the Tet, back story and such (and on the Scavs), and less on Cruise/Jack & his tech work/lake scenes ~
"Much communication in a motion, without conversation or a notion"
Why would they not need things? Hated lake scenes.
shareWell, so far as I can tell (with the paper thin background the movie gives us on the Tet), the Tet appears to be AI (no non-AI aliens on the ship I guess). Is it truly sentient? I dunno. Are there alien master controllers elsewhere (or still ones that the Tet is taking its orders from)? I dunno. Unless I missed something (the ending was so rushed).
But, if it is futuristic AI, parked & possibly following outdated orders (?) (sucking up resources, keeping the clone nursery going, etc.) or maybe still being controlled by the 'aliens' -- either way, why would it need much else? What kinds of needs do you think it would or should have? I am interested!
Ditto regarding the 'lake' scenes. I can see a bit about it, given how the movie wraps up, but I think too much time was spent on 'lake life' (and some other Cruise scenes) that could have been spent more wisely on the Tet & the Scavs ~ not to get all overly technical or anything, but to give us more of an anchor to the story, IMHO.
"Much communication in a motion, without conversation or a notion"
How does an AI repair a complicated spaceship/drone without infrastructure. Or raise a clone? Or repair itself? All very poor syfy.
shareWeren't the clones in pod-like things, fully formed, waiting to be 'hatched' when needed?
And, yeah...I don't know about the 'repairs' issues, other than the tech clones on the planet repairing drones and the like.
"Much communication in a motion, without conversation or a notion"
It really comes down to.. if you spend too much time trying to get a 'whole' backstory to a sci-fi film, you'll find something you don't like about the movie- if not a lot you don't like. A movie is supposed to be a 2 hr experience.. to take us away from our B.S lives or whatever. If you want to break apart any movie too much, it'll just lead to unhappiness.
Yeah, so this is existential movie tip- don't overthink it. Hah. As long as a movie keeps me intrigued to the end- I say mission accomplished.

What nonsense, try watching real films
Name a REAL film. I can come up with exactly one billion unanswerable questions about it. No film covers EVERYTHING. THAT's real nonsense.
shareThe Grapes of Wrath
share(deep breath in.....)
1. why did they live in Oklahoma instead of Texas??
2. how come Tom Joad didn't spend more time in prison?
3. what kind of tree was the preacher sitting under?
4. why was that tree there?
5. why is Muley's name spelled that way?
6. why did they use a Caterpiller tracker to knock down the house, when they could have done it by hand?
7. why did they drive a 1926 Hudson when the 1925 is vastly superior?
8. why did they drive on highway 66 when rural route 42 was much shorter?

You obviously haven't seen the film or read the novel. Nice try, don't compare your GCI Hollywood trash nonsense "movies" to a film like the Grapes of Wrath, don't even dare do that you nincompoop
shareNo film covers EVERYTHING. NO more needs to be said. :)
Current generation weirdness of picking at everything is silly. It's JUST entertainment. Everything is not a plot hole.
Im not comparing a CGI Scifi to anything. Just pointing out EVERYTHING is not covered in EVERY FILM. Expecting it to be is just dumb.
You are delusional grow the hell up idiot
shareI know it's been years but i came here to salute you for owning the dimwit. Masterfully done, dear sir.
We never know everything in real life, yet these people believe a movie needs to show us everything that's been going on. If things in this movie happened in real life, we wouldn't have answers for any of those questions. Damn, we wouldn't even know why Tet exploded!
