While browsing Netflix production, I could not miss the fact that Netflix is a fan of low budget sci-fi movies – which I definitely appreciate. Too bad that the beginning of IO looks like the screenwriter copied it from The Martian, and when Anthony Mackie, who’s probably supposed to keep the movie afloat, enters the screen, the whole thing gets so unbearably boring that it makes you count the minutes until the end.

It's boring. A very good short story could have been created from the subject matter, but there is simply too little here for a feature film. The viewer knows ahead of time that which is supposed to be surprising, and what is supposed to impress him or her emotionally leaves him cold, because he or she is happy to be awake at all. However, Margaret Qualley I would like to see again, but in a good film.

Cheap sci-fi in the style of adapt or die. CO2 and other greenhouse gases have flooded the planet and those who could have flown to a space station near Jupiter's moon Io, except for a few naifs and scientists who are researching whether the situation is permanent or whether bees and pigs can adapt. Then, out of nowhere, a strange, grim-faced man named Micah (Anthony Mackie) appears at the base of a young scientist (Margaret Qualley). Unfortunately, apart from a small storm, the arrival of a balloon and a few unpleasant truths, nothing much happens. The performances are alright, but no one can really excel in an average story. It’s OK to watch after a Sunday lunch. PS: Elon flew to space.
