: The ship emerges at an unknown destination during a hyperspace jump. The crew attempts to complete their mission on a suitable planet. They discover they are being hunted by a creature unleashed from the sphere.
: The film stars Egor Koreshkov and Alyona Konstantinova. Principal photography began in 2016 across Moscow and Kazakhstan to achieve a futuristic aesthetic.
: The crew realizes they have traveled 4 billion years into Earth's past. The "alien" artifacts were left by advanced beings to seed life on Earth. Production and Reception
: Reviews were mixed. Critics pointed out a weak script, uneven pacing, and clichéd dialogue as significant drawbacks.
: Scientists use two extraterrestrial artifacts to save humanity. These include a warp engine and a terraforming sphere.
: Many reviewers praised the special effects and set designs.
The opening few paragraphs struck a chord for me.
Excellent piece.
BTW..Aculco and Bernal will absolutely scratch that dirtbag itch, minus the crowds.
