Anthony Mackie and Margaret Qualley in IO (2019)

Sam (Margaret Qualley), one of the last survivors on a post-cataclysmic Earth, is a young scientist dedicated to finding a way for humans to adapt and survive, rather than abandon their world. But with the final shuttle scheduled to leave the planet for a distant colony, her determination to stay is rocked by the arrival of another survivor, Micah (Anthony Mackie). She must decide whether to journey with him to join the rest of humanity and begin life anew, or stay to fight for Earth's survival.

Incomplete

I love syfi stuff. This was well acted and I did not mind the slow movement of the movie. But it seemed to be a snapshot in the middle of a story. It felt like an incomplete thought. I wish there was more. Either at the beginning or end. Anyway, it was not satifying. No purpose or hope. Wish there was.

Slow and Steady

This a good sci-fi movie, starts on a slow note and keeps the pace with good scenes and storyline.. I don't know why the rating is so low..

Deep and meaningful.

I understand some of the frustrations with this movie, largely because of the trailer, and the fact that it was advertised to me as a horror thriller, far from it, it's a meaningful story about the end of life as we know it, one woman's challenge, and her handling of change when a man appears.

Very visual, it has some poignant scenes, I particularly liked the decayed and rotten streets and buildings, they looked incredible.

There are multiple messages here, I appreciate that in amongst the many negative ones, there is one that shines through the whole way through, human spirit.

Tragic beauty, 7/10.

Better than expected

Not to sure that this deserves its current low rating and poor reviews. Yes it has flaws, scientific, pace etc, but it is also a meditative account of loneliness, and humanity's own flaws. It is also well shot with an emotive score that is well matched to the movie. It makes you think and consider many things, which is why I expect many of the reviews are negative. Not the best when compared to a Interstellar for example, but deserves some attention.

Truly boring

This looked promising from the trailer but delivered absolutely nothing. I kept waiting for the story to get moving, then I realized that the film was 75% over. It was incredibly boring, the story was nonsensical, and the characters were completely uninspired. Don't waste your time.

Anecdotes
Io was the original title of Outland... Loin de la Terre (1981) but at that time testing showed people read the name Io as 10, and so the name was changed.

Gaffes
At the beginning of the movie, Sam takes a sample looking to see if bacteria can use ammonia (NH3) as an oxygen (O2) source. Ammonia has no oxygen available to be used.

Sam: Do you think it's absurd to love someone that's millions of miles away?
Micah: Not at all. So ancient is the desire for one another which is implanted in us. Reuniting our original nature, seeking to make one of two and healing the state of man.
Sam: What's that?
Micah: Plato. Symposium.
Sam: What does it mean?
Micah: He says, humans originally had two faces. Four arms, four legs. And they were happy like that. Complete. Then they defied the gods, so the gods split us in two as punishment. Tore us away from our other halves. He said, each of us, when separated, is always looking for our other half. It's our nature. But when one is met with this other half... the pair are lost in an amazement of love, friendship, intimacy. And one will not be seen out of the other's sight. See, the reason is, human nature was once originally one. And we were whole. And the desire and the pursuit of the whole... is called love.
