Voyagers

Scientists believe they have found another planet capable of sustaining human life. So they build a mission which will deliver future generations to it. During the journey, the young astronauts realize that if they stop eating a certain food, they feel more emotion. And energy. And sexual viability. And they get courage to break more rules.. like breaking into the supplies which were supposed to be held for the next generation of colonists. When more infractions and catastrophies occur, their chances of completing this mission seem to be decreasing. This has been called a cross between lord of the flies and earthsearch. Lots of irrational phsical violence, competition, fighting. Even after seeing what really happened in the video that started all this. It just feels like a runaway train, barreling toward a failed mission. Can anything stop this wave of violence? Written and directed by neil burger. I liked his other films divergent and illusionist better. But this one isn't bad!

A group of youngsters are sent into deep space, in order to search for a new home, and build a better world, things however don't go according to plan.

The combination of Colin Farrell, sci fi story, and evident budget gave me real hopes that this was going to be a cracking film....

...Sadly it wasn't, it was quite unimaginative, and despite looking great, it was actually hard to stay concentrated on it, because it was sadly, just dull.

A very interesting first 10 minutes or so, then it descends into sci fi opera, a Lord of The Flies story which sadly lacked any real sense of appeal.

Farrell was good, but should have had a much bigger part, the interest went along with his character.

Hoped for a lot, was ultimately disappointed, 5/10.

Plot: Lord of the flies but now in space.

Some good points here: Set design is very good. Music is ok and helps the pace of the film.

Some bad points: The sub-story has holes bigger than black holes in space. And the acting is sometimes plain like watching teenage theater.

If you don't know lord of the flies, than you will probably find this interesting.

I didn't mind the watch but that's not more than a 6/10.

Honestly I don't understand all the negative reviews. Personally I liked almost everything about this movie: the idea, the music, the cinematography and most of the actors. They also put a lot of thought into small details which I really appreciated. Maybe it's not Oscar-worthy or something like that but it never tried to be. It's an enjoyable Sci-Fi movie that makes you think about the nature of mankind, our future, climate change, even democracy. Definitely worth 7/10!

This is a movie that treats teenagers like extreme idiots, plain and simple. It's unfortunate that there wasn't a deeper character development (there was none) and just plainly stated "teens are dumb so this all happens". I mean, the premise of the movie is cool, some new ideas, and the overall idea the movie explores is amazing to think about, but this movie didn't want to be something special. It took a interesting topic and reduced the characters to characterizations.
