A reworking of The Lord Of The Flies in space, the film asks the question is human nature essentially creative or destructive? Whether you will want to sit though the roughly 108 minutes it takes to answer this question is an open question (I found myself frequently looking at my watch).
Written and directed by Neil Burger, the film feels closer to Ayn Rand in space than William Golding.
There s a good reason for that when ideas become more important than the characters who are having them – as often happen in this plodding, workmanlike tale – we start to lose interest in both. I mean if you don t care about the people, will you care what happens to them?
Basil Iwanyk has told just about every sort of cinematic story there is to tell.
The crowd-pleasing action of the “John Wick” and “Expandables” franchises, the Oscar-nominated thrills of “Sicario” and “The Town,” the fantastical rebooted “Clash of the Titans” films and the acclaimed blockbuster drama “A Star is Born” are all part of the producer’s rich filmography.
In theaters Friday, “Voyagers” is the first work of science fiction from Iwanyk, who grew up in Freehold, Howell and Spring Lake Heights and now lives in Spring Lake.
“I love sci-fi,” Iwanyk said. “They’re hard to pull off for a number of reasons, one (being) usually a lot of sci-fi is based on existing IP [intellectual property] and a lot of the great sci-fi IP has been gobbled up already, especially since we’re in the world of streamers where they seem to love big sci-fi books (to adapt into) big sci-fi series or limited series.”
