Scott Beck and Bryan Woods became famous when they wrote the script for “A Quiet Place”, which was then refined by John Krasinski and made one of the best horror films of recent years. The duo, who met at the University of Iowa, then got the chance to make a big-budget movie themselves, but this sci-fi adventure about a space traveler who found himself on Earth exactly 65 million years ago is not a movie that will be remembered for a long time. The very idea of this film was a little silly to me, quite contradictory because in the introduction we meet a space traveler from some distant galaxy. It’s obviously a developed civilization because these aliens behave identically to today’s humans.
So one of them, the pilot of the spaceship Mills (Adam Driver), will accept a mission that should last for two years in order to be able to pay for the treatment of his sick daughter. But somewhere along the way, Mills’ spaceship will fall into a meteor shower and will be forced to land on a planet that happens to be Earth. And that Earth 65 million years ago ruled by dinosaurs. Along with Mills, only one girl named Koa, who speaks a language other than English, will survive the fall of the spacecraft, but Mills will somehow communicate with her. And it will turn into a survivalist drama, a SF action thriller, which must be acknowledged for its quality production conditions and excellent visual and computer effects that brought to life the reptiles that ruled our planet at that time.
And, as is the order, first the small dinosaurs will appear, then the bigger ones until, you guessed it, Mills and Koa run into trouble with the t-rexes. But that’s not all! Because the meteor shower that forced Mills’ spacecraft to land on earth is the same meteor shower (asteroid, comet or whatever it’s called) that destroyed the dinosaurs and made it possible for us to appear on the same planet a few tens of millions later. It acted at the end of “65” as some bizarre spin-off from the “Jurassic Park” franchise, as a somewhat confusing attempt to combine some high-budget B production action thrash movie with a survivalist drama we’ve actually seen hundreds of times.
