Thoughts
Like most science fiction movies, this movie takes place mostly on the ground. The idea behind the movie is interesting, unique and the scenes in spaces are inspiring and rich. Recommended for any scifi fan or anyone that enjoys a coming of age movie. Definitely worth a watch.
Plot
A crash landing leaves Kitai Raige and his father Cypher stranded on Earth, a millennium after events forced humanity's escape. With Cypher injured, Kitai must embark on a perilous journey to signal for help.
