Hey Guys we are here to talk about something that is beyond what i could have ever expected. First we will discuss the movie and then we will discuss the future here. The revelation that has happened in Cinema as we know it. The changing of an Era...the Downfall of Hollywood.
First off lets go over the plot of the movie.
ron Lung is a 2026 American science fiction horror film written and directed by Mark Fischbach in his feature directorial debut. It is based on the 2022 video game by David Szymanski. The film stars Fischbach, Caroline Rose Kaplan, Troy Baker, Elsie Lovelock, Elle LaMont, Seán McLoughlin, and Isaac McKee. The plot follows a convict named Simon (Fischbach) who is forced to pilot a submarine through a desolate moon's ocean of blood, after an event known as the Quiet Rapture caused the majority of humanity and all stars to disappear without warning. ( Taken from Wiki)
It is set in the future after and event called the silent rapture happened where it had cut all contact with anyone else out there. All planets and stars have disappeared and the only people remaining are the ones who were on space stations or ships. A man named Simon ( played by Mark ) had been imprisoned for being involved in the destruction of a space station called Filament Station. He swears it was not suppose to happen and he did not destroy anything. His punishment is testing out a submarine ( they called the Iron Lung ) in which you are welded in shut to go down and explore this ocean of blood on a moon called AT-5. If he does this and completes his task they told him he will have earned his freedom.
That is the plot and to be honest for me.... i actually like the plot it is interesting.
Now lets get to the story part of it all. Ava the Crew Commander ( played by Caroline Rose Kaplan) is the one who sends Simon down into the Ocean of Blood and is speaking to him while he is down there. Simon is then sent down to take xrays of the blood ocean and upon taking these xrays while traveling to different locations in the Ocean the ship indicates something outside ( beep beep beep goes the yellow light on his dashboard ) he takes and xray which he then discovers a skeleton. He tell the people who sent him down about it and they bring him back up only to tell him he is welded in and they can't risk losing a sample of the skeleton so he needs to go back down there and get a sample of the skeleton so they can see what it is all about. Of course Simon is getting distraught. You can see the fear in his eyes and the pain in his eyes as he asks too be let out and that he did what they asked already and that again he didn't do anything and he is sorry for everything . However they refused to let him out so in a fit of rage he activates the xray and unfortunately radiates the facility and it harms most of the crew members that were in the area with radiation including the Main Crew Commander. So they are mad at him for that and clearly he did not know that by hitting that it would do that and he feels so bad about it. They didn't tell him about the radiation. He didn't want to hurt anyone he just wanted out.
He gets sent back down and then joining the speaker to assist Mark is a new Crew Commander Named Jack ( Played by Seán McLoughlin aka Jacksepticeye) who works Under Ava ( the first crew commander ) He takes place for Ava and the mechanic who was helping in the beginning David ( Played by Troy Baker ). anyways, they send him back down when he discovers not only is there something going on down there. They had been telling Simon he is the only one and the first one they have sent down there only to discover no he wasn't. He found hidden audio logs that started to download onto his computer once he discovered there was another ship out there wrecked..obviously he is not the only one they have sent down there. He tries to tell the commander that he found a living creature down there and there are photos as well but she tells him to ram the skeleton and get the sample so... he does knocking him back and unconcious. When he awakens he sees photos of movement outside the sub. He also starts hallucinating
thinking he is seeing and hearing people that aren't actually there . It starts to drive him crazy. he repairs the submarine and gets it back on track by going underneath a panel into a crawl space and crawling back and resetting the engine and restarting everything.This whole time he had been telling them something is out there. He was even hearing someone else from inside. he hit the speaker and broke it or so he thought, he damaged his arm and happened to find a small medical supply and got the wraps it and wrapped his wounds. He taped the camera button so it would take the photos for him. All while this ship is slowly leaking inside. Ava tells him to go find the other wrecked submarine and download the data and that this mission is bigger then them it is most important in saving the world. When gets back to the sub he begins hearing a woman talking about how she is alive and inside a light that Godlike. This plasma bloody looking stuff keeps seeping into the various cracks in the sub as looks up says you can't be real I broke the speaker....turns out he did...
He had a vision where the sub is destroyed, Simon breaks the surface to see a giant eye filling a storm in red sky. Simon awakes again, and the commander says he has been missing for several days, far longer than his oxygen supply should have lasted. She tells him to recover SM-8's data, promising to rescue him herself if he complies, as well as revealing her name to be Ava. She tells him that what he is doing is bigger then them both and this is the most important thing he could do for everyone. He needs to get that data from the other ship and she will meet him down there and pick him up herself. To retrieve everything and him. She gives him 30 minutes and so he decides ok i'll do it and heads back to the spot. The sub filling more and more now as he reaches the wrecked sub and starts downloading everything finding out the blood ocean contains human blood. After Simon finds out Ava can not save him and that she is so sorry and that he needs to protect the little black box with the data downloaded into it. As he is hearing her he also hears the woman's voice again saying to destroy the information and that no one should know about the Godlike light at the bottom of the ocean.
Soon after hearing that the creature ,that has been kinda terrorizing Simon through this whole thing, destroys Ava's vessel she went down there in and at that moment Simon struggling to walk through the bloody goo mess that is leaking into his ship and his arms how being consumed and what looks like bloody veins or best way to describe it...the venom symbiote is becoming one with Simon...in this case the symbiote is a gooey blood mess. He breaks away from it long enough to tie the black box to a life vest he found with the Medical supplies and then manages to sabotage the submarine so that it would implode. As the creature bites down on his submarine killing Simon and itself from the pressure the vest manages to make it through. It floats to the surface of the blood ocean. The end !!
This movie to me was unique in every way. It was all different emotions , you never knew what was actually happening as if you were going a little crazy as Simon did. The visuals were bloody stunning and cinematic value was incredible. For someone who had a vision and self produced, fill=med, and created all on a 3 mil budget ..... he did a great job. It was exciting too to watch because I wanted to know what this thing was the entire time.
MArk, lets talk about him for a second. He has managed to do something Hollywood could never do. He made a movie without a Hollywood formula creating the #1 movie on the charts above Disney and Sam Rami. He gave Hollywood the middle finger and said I don't need you I can do this and I want to do this on my own. He did it all and made Hollywood angry because he didn't need any of them. Good for you Mark you did it. I have been watching you since day one and I am so happy to see your journey and though you may never read this...everything you have done was inspiring to a lot of us small creators who may have been giving up on their dreams. You literally changed that mindset when you released this movie. Thank you and congrats !
