2. The 2001 Parallel

　　2、致敬《2001太空漫游》

　　While the music over the film's opening is a clear shout-out to Alien, the framing of the opening shot is actually reaching further back in cinematic history.That whole “title appearing over a shot of a planet as the sun peeks round”, used by Ridley Scott in both Alien and The Martian, is actually a homage to 2001: A Space Odyssey.

　　很明显，影片的片头音乐和《异形》相呼应，电影的开篇镜头也是有史可循的。在《异形》和《火星救援》中，雷德利·斯科特均采用了这样风格的开头，即“随着太阳逐渐显现，字幕出现在部分星球的形象之上”。而这样的的开头实际上是在向影片《2001太空漫游》致敬。
