Prospect (2018)
Prospect is a sci-fi thriller directed by Zeek Earl and Chris Caldwell, set in a distant, alien world. The film follows a teenage girl named Cee (Sophie Thatcher) and her father, Damon (Jay Duplass), as they embark on a dangerous mission to extract valuable gemstones from a toxic alien moon. They travel to the moon in hopes of securing their fortune but quickly find themselves facing life-threatening obstacles.
After a series of betrayals and deadly encounters, Cee is left to fend for herself alongside a mysterious and morally ambiguous prospector named Ezra (Pedro Pascal). The two form a tenuous alliance as they navigate the hostile environment, dangerous mercenaries, and the harsh realities of survival on this unforgiving world.
Prospect is praised for its unique world-building, grounded storytelling, and intense character-driven narrative. The film blends elements of classic Westerns with a gritty sci-fi aesthetic, and its low-budget yet impressive visuals set it apart from typical space films. With strong performances from Sophie Thatcher and Pedro Pascal, Prospect is a compelling tale of survival, trust, and the pursuit of something greater in a desolate universe.
