Voyageurs

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!

Gave a 5 for visuals. The rest is a yawn. Illogical bunch of rogue young test tubed space punks minus the few obvious do gooders that saved the day, on a mission to be mankind's future civilization on another planet. A story maze if you're looking to burn off close to 2 hours of idle time.

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!

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.

Shockingly enough, the premise isn't all that bad. It's just that the tropey story, amateur script and lackluster direction inevitably tank the whole thing. Skip this.
