🔍 Search on JustWatch →Science fiction that uses the genre as a tool for questions about humanity, not as decoration. The visual language is precise, the ideas keep it from becoming empty spectacle.
The balance between spectacle and thought is better maintained than usual. The film holds tension without chasing action. Rare.
Good for watching with someone who likes to discuss things afterward. Not for passive background.
