I feel like if they make an All Systems Red movie, the opening scenes need to build up to it.
It should make you think it’s going to be a regular gritty sci-fi movie, with tracking shots of Preservation AUX moving around their harshly lit habitat and doing things in drab crew uniforms as they prep for Volescu and Bharadwaj going out to survey the surface…
And in the background of every shot, so unobtrusive as to be almost unnoticeable in the mass of activity, stands Murderbot. Unmoving. Armored. Faceless. Looming.
As it boards the cargo hold, we zoom in on its opaque helmet.
And then the voiceover tells us that rather than murdering everyone when it hacked its governor module, it decided to consume 35,000 hours of media instead.
Instant cut to The Rise and Fall of Sanctuary Moon.
