(2021) (Tye Sheridan, Lily-Rose Depp) (PG-13)
- 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.
