IO (2019) Netflix Original
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Io_(film)
A woman, (
Margaret Qualley), seemingly alone works to keep Earth's bees from the brink of extinction on a planet literally choking to death. Her only contact with anyone is with an engineer who lives on IO, a moon orbiting Jupiter, Tthe engineer lives with the rest of humanity who have fled Earth and works towards locating an earth-like planet in a nearby system.
Suddenly a man appears piloting an air balloon, (
Anthony Mackie), looking for the women's father. The film then explores whether the couple should leave Earth or not.
Not enough for the two actors to work on, (they are practically the only two in the film), I'm not saying they are bad but they don't have enough, material. The whole thing feels like a pitch rather than a fully formed film. Nicely shot, it's been compared to The Martain but has more in common in a way with The Martian Chronicles. miniseries (1980).
Another mishit from Netflix - They really need people to look at projects before they greenlight them. Get some decent producers and writers too!
5 out of 10.
Watch Silent Running instead
