See the films the platforms disagree about most →A renowned, emotionally detached astronaut is sent on a classified mission across the solar system. His objective is to make contact with his father, a legendary space pioneer whose experimental ship went missing years ago near Neptune. The father’s project is now believed to be sending power surges that threaten all life on Earth, forcing the son on a journey that is as much about confronting his own personal void as it is about saving the planet.
