View all categoriesOur take
A Canadian sci-fi thriller about astrophysicists who discover alien life and flee with their children. Pursuit tension, gun talk, a joint-smoking line and mild profanity show up. Critics praise its thoughtful themes but note uneven effects. No U.S. rating found; treat it like PG-13 to light R. Best for about 13 and up.

Curiosity, family loyalty and openness to the unknown sit at the story's core

As their flight unfolds, the line between cosmic revelation and human paranoia blurs, leading to a tense and emotional confrontation that challenges the boundaries of understanding, science, and survival.
