Faster Than Light: the Dream of Interstellar Flight
“Faster Than Light” explores the longstanding quest to develop spacecraft with enough power and speed to reach the stars. The film asks: What will it take to reach a newly discovered planet circling our Sun’s nearest neighbor, Proxima Centauri? Based on real science and engineering, “Faster Than Light” takes audiences on a thrilling journey into the future, aboard laser-driven space sails, antimatter engines, and even warp drive – right out of science fiction. “Who can say how far, and how fast, our technology will one day take us?” said director Thomas Lucas.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Director Thomas Lucas constructs the narrative as an engineering investigation, not a dry lecture. He relies on clear visualizations of complex concepts, using CGI to materialize ideas about warp drives and light sails, making the abstract tangible.
What lingers after viewing is a charged sense of inquiry—the feeling that the great journey has already begun in labs and minds. This is a film not about a distant future, but about its active construction today. — MovieFinder Editorial
