The energy shortage is critical, and survival is threatened. A space mission is planned that can harness energy forever and save humanity. Ava Hamilton (Mbatha-Raw) is recruited and reluctantly she leaves her loving husband Michael (Davies).
The mission fails, the crew are trapped
in space, the situation on Earth becomes more desperate by the minute.
Two years pass. The crew try again and
again. On the last try they find themselves in an alternative universe.
This is part of the Cloverfield trilogy,
and the connection is slow in coming.
The film doesn’t necessarily make sense –
paradoxes and alternative universes can be like that – but it’s exciting and
definitely watchable with a strong international cast.
