A CHILD’S BEST friend is his…robot?
Why not? It worked for Will Robinson in the original Lost in Space whenever he needed to be warned of danger. Little Elroy and the rest of The Jetsons would have been lost without their mechanical maid, Rosie. And surely Wesley Crusher of Star Trek: The Next Generation saw Lt. Cdr. Data as an android role model. We all did.
None of which will prepare you for the, a wonderfully strange and occasionally terrifying science fiction fable from executive producer and director Ridley Scott (, ). It’s set on Kepler-22b, a seemingly uninhabited and not entirely hospitable planet where stoically determined humanoids Mother (Amanda Collin) and Father (Abubakar Salim) have fled a ruined Earth with six human embryos to gestate and raise in this harsh new Eden.
