Voyagers (R13, 108 mins) Directed by Neil Burger About five years back, a New York subway car door refused to open for me. It can t have lasted more than half-a-minute. But on a stinking hot August day, anxious to get the hell out from under the earth and preferably be somewhere air-conditioned and liquor licensed, those 30 seconds or so were enough to set my mind to whirling. And in my waking dream, I imagined a world in which the door never opened and the carriage simply tore off down the line again, away from the station and deep into the bowels of the NYC transit system, onto some mythical loop line. With the drivers dead in their cab, but the power still flowing through the rails, spared by an unknown cataclysm above, our train would rattle around its track in the hot darkness forever, while we, the living entombed, fell into warfare between the carriages, fighting for every drop of condensation and morsel of human flesh until there was no-one left alive to tell our ta

Earth is nearly uninhabitable due to extreme increases in heat, meanwhile, scientists have found a new planet suitable for human colonization. The titular voyage is also set to take a rather lengthy 86 years to complete, resulting in said scientists settling on a plan to artificially fertilize a group of children before having them embark on the mission when they are young adults, with instructions to continue that same procedure so that eventually it will be their grandchildren that reach the n

LONDON (Reuters) - Ready Player One star Tye Sheridan sets off into outer space to save humankind in Voyagers , a science-fiction thriller that opens in U.S. cinemas on Friday, and which he believes may strike a particular chord with a pandemic-weary public.
The movie is set in 2063. Earth has become hot, dry and disease-stricken but scientists have discovered a new planet that can support human life.
Salvation is an 86-year journey away, and 30 babies are bred for the trip, during which they are expected to reproduce in order for their grandchildren to populate their destination.
