Stowaway
— This was a little disappointing from a visual standpoint, probably because there have been so many memorable films in space in the past decade (First Man, The Martian, Interstellar, Gravity, Guardians of the Galaxy, Moon). What it does well, it really does do well—questioning the value of sacrifice, the relative value of one life over another, and even the value of space travel itself. It unfolds at a leisurely pace, presents the ethical dilemma that is the crux of the story, then explores all options. [Netflix streaming.]

[2021. 116 min. Directed by Joe Penna. Starring Anna Kendrick, Daniel Dae Kim, Shamier Anderson, and Toni Collette.]
