Moonfish Review This Existential Outer Space Abandonment Saga Is a Bizarro Project Hail Mary
News Source : IndieWire
News Summary
- In the 2060s, humans have definitively lost the power struggle with the machines we created.
- Hyper-intelligent robots run all of our largest companies, and the resources required to make them so intelligent ensures that nobody would ever dream of placing them in harm’s way.
- In a world where the only real choice anyone gets to make is which of the five or six identical corporations to work for, even dreaming about better days feels like a waste of time.
- When you’re left in a cold, colorless galaxy with little chance of returning home, you begin to wonder why you ever complained about life on a dystopian planet that still had free pleasures like sunshine and fresh air to enjoy.
The first thing anyone will notice about Moonfish is how suffocatingly gray everything looks, as writer/director Daniel Zvereffs vision of outer space is nothing if not monochromatic.
