QUICK TAKE:
Sci-Fi: Teens stop taking a mood-suppressant drug during an 86-year trip to another planet, resulting in raging hormones, chaos, and anarchy.
PLOT:

It's the year 2063 and Earth has become increasingly inhospitable for human life. Accordingly, a decision has been made to colonize another planet, but it's 86 years away, meaning voyagers heading there will have to reproduce, and their children and grandchildren will be the ones to land on the faraway land. Under the supervision of lead scientist Richard (COLIN FARRELL), children are bred to be the brightest available and are raised in complete isolation from the rest of the world so that they're most suited for the same sort of environment during the long space trip.

Richard decides to go along to oversee the operation and protect and nurture the young kids. Ten years later, the likes of Christopher (TYE SHERIDAN), Sela (LILY-ROSE DEPP), and Zac (FIONN WHITEHEAD) are just some of the now-older teenagers well into their mission. But when Christopher and Zac realize their daily rations include a mood suppressing drug -- that includes inhibiting sexual desires -- they decide to stop taking it, thus allowing their hormones to run wild.

When an apparent tragedy strikes and they're left without adult supervision, most of the rest stop taking the drug as well, resulting in chaos and eventual anarchy on the ship. With Christopher and Sela trying to hold the line, they must contend with Zac using fear to make most of the rest follow his lead.

WILL KIDS WANT TO SEE IT?
The young cast and sci-fi story might draw in some.
WHY THE MPAA RATED IT: PG-13
For violence, some strong sexuality, bloody images, a sexual assault, and brief strong language.


I have subscribed to ScreenIt for more than a decade. I check in every week to take advantage of their amazing services. Not only does their site provide a glimpse of exactly what content a movie offers, I've found the “Our Take” reviews and ratings for each movie to be right on the money every single time. I've referred dozens of friends to this service because my #1 resource for deciding whether or not to show a movie to my kids, or to see one myself, is ScreenIt.com!

I signed up to get Screen It weekly reviews a long time ago, when my kids were young and I wanted to know more about movies before we went to a theater or rented. Now one child is in law school, other in undergraduate, and I still read the weekly Screen Its! It helps me know what my husband and I want to see or rent, and what to have waiting at home that we all will enjoy when my "kids" come home. I depend on Screen It reviews. They usually just present the facts and let me decide if the movie is appropriate or of interest for my family and me. Thank you for providing that service, Screen It!

I have 4 children who are now in college. I signed up for Screen It when my children were pre-teenagers. Often my children would ask to see a movie with a friend and I wished I could preview the movie prior to giving permission. A friend told me about ScreenIt.com and I found it to be the next best thing to previewing a movie. The amount of violence, sexual content, or language were always concerns for me and my husband as we raised innocent kids with morals. We constantly fought the peer pressure our kids received to see films that in our opinion were questionable. With the evidence we received at Screen It, our kids couldn't even fight us when we felt a film may have been inappropriate for them to watch. Thank you, Screen It. Continue to make this helpful service available to everyone, but especially the young parents.

Screenit.com is an amazing resource for parents, educators, church groups or anyone who wants to make an informed decision whether a movie is suitable for their viewing. The reviews and content descriptions are so detailed I am mystified how the reviewers can put them together.

I love screen It! I don't know what I would do without it. It is well worth the membership. Before we take our son to the movies we check it out on screen it first. Thank you SO much for making it. Keep up the good work & keep 'em coming!!!
