They inevitably suffer minor injuries along the way. Koa wants to know about her family, and Mills deceptively tells her that her family is on the mountain where the other half of the ship crashed.Īs they trek to the mountain, they are attacked by raptors and a possible type of rauisuchid (possibly Postosuchus) and menaced by pterosaurs and even giant insects, including vinegarroons. However, that part of the ship has a contingency escape ship attached to it that sensors show to still be operational. Mills finds out that the other half of the ship also survived the crash, but that there are no other life forms. She does start to pick up on Mills’ language (English, of course) by repeating what he says and listening to his tone. He also discovers that Koa (played by Ariana Greenblatt) doesn’t speak the same language, that she is wary of him, and that they must make hand gestures to communicate. After trekking a short distance and discovering some geysers (hinting that they may be on earth and in Yellowstone) he discovers a 9- or 10-year-old girl named Koa (as he finds out later from the ship’s manifest) and frees her from the cryogenic tube and brings her back to the (half-) ship. A short time later (maybe the next day, maybe a week later) he gets a signal from one of his scanners that there is another survivor. While out looking for survivors, he is unknowingly watched by some type of eellike creature that surfaces right behind him, though we never see this creature in full, nor do we ever see it again. It seems like they must be (more on that later).

One thing that is not adequately explained in the movie is whether those stills keep being downloaded to his holograph player.

Knowing that he might not be able to be rescued and that he only has a limited supply of resources, we see a brief scene showing Mills contemplating suicide, but looking at pictures or holographic stills of Nevine, or conversely, having vivid memories of his daughter flash through his mind, quickly firms his resolve to keep going and hoping to get back to her. Mills is safely able to land his half of the craft but is injured in the process, and everyone in the cryogenic tubes near him are dead.Īfter surveying the scene around him and discovering all the dead passengers, Mills is racked with grief. As the ship is going down, Mills tries to make the best of the inevitable crash landing, but some of the cryogenic tubes are sucked out just as the ship breaks in half upon colliding with a mountain. Smaller hits damage the ship, but a side strike from a huge asteroid critically damages it and rips a hole in the side. It may be that the belt being depicted is the Kuiper Belt, but we never do find out. While it’s difficult to tell how long the bombardment lasts and how long it was going on before Mills is awakened, it becomes apparent that they are not on the outskirts of the asteroid belt, but right in the middle of it. Mills mentions several times in the film that he has no idea where they are. Part of this may be why the computer also notes that they are in uncharted space.

He takes over manual control of the ship, but he is not experienced in dodging asteroids. Mills, as the pilot, is awakened early in the bombardment but not early enough to do much good. The ship’s computer voice repeats several times that this was an unexpected asteroid field. Smashes, Crashes, and DashesĪt some point in the flight, likely after a year (because one video of his daughter says that he’s halfway there), the spaceship begins to be pelted by asteroids. Mills takes some holographic videos of his daughter with him to remind him of his reason for taking such a long-term mission. Mills then also goes into suspended animation shortly after the ship takes off. The plots move forward rapidly, and next we see military (or commercial) star pilot Mills (no first name is ever given) boarding the ship as the passengers are put into cryogenic containers to slow their aging for the long trip ahead. Mills makes the decision to take a two-year interstellar mission where he will return some important people (possibly diplomats) to their home planets. Some sweet family scenes include Mills telling Nevine that he is not going away “because of her” but “for her” and also him teaching her to fist whistle. Nevine is suffering from some serious illness which will require lots of money to cover. Mills, played by Adam Driver, is there with his (unnamed) wife and daughter, Nevine (played by Chloe Coleman).

The story opens on a beach on the planet Somaris, which is quite technologically advanced. We often point out the need to be aware of evolutionary propaganda hidden in media.
