Voyagers (2021)
Written and directed by Neil Burger this film stars Tye Sheridan, Lily-Rose Depp, Fionn Whitehead and Colin Farrell. In the future 30 young people are raised and sent into space to travel to a new planet for colonisation.
In the opening portion of the film there are some interesting ethical and existential questions raised however these are binned off in favour of doing Lord of the Flies in space with a side order of a recent ex-president. What we get is decent enough but far too familiar. I would much rather have seen the film focus on themes of space colonisation than what we got.
3/5
