Given the review score, I went into this movie rather intrigued, but there are essentially no original ideas here. Every plot point and revelation is one you've seen before, and nearly every character is dumb to a point that not even the suspension of disbelief can justify it. The film's cinematography is noteworthy but brought down by the color grading and lack of budget for real sets. I did like the grandfather character, as each of his scenes were unique and striking compared to the rest of the by-the-numbers story beats and visuals.
And just to take up the last few characters to meet the review criteria, what kind of genius character would put their face near a pot of offal and hooves and expect any other smell beyond utter wretchedness?
Also, the number of perfect scores for this movie strikes me as very suspicious.

The Silent Sea is high-concept science-fantasy that isn't bad or particularly remarkable. However, you have to treat it a lot like Sweet Home in that if you watch it, it's fun, but you shouldn't think too deeply about any one concept or character motivation/choice or you're going to be annoyed at the plot holes and (pun intended) moon logic. I would say give it a try for its visuals and sci-fi elements and just discount everything else going in, and you should be fine.
