Two recent science fiction projects, "The Ark" and "JUNG_E," explore the idea of
humans needing to escape Earth due to climate change. "The Ark" follows a group
of pioneers on a space-faring vessel, who are forced to awaken prematurely from
cryogenic sleep after an accident, resulting in young-adult-oriented flourishes
that fall flat.
"JUNG_E" takes place in a future where humanity is embroiled in a civil war
after being forced into off-planet shelters due to climate change. The film
focuses on a team of scientists trying to create an army of warriors using
androids, with a muddled story and impressive design. Both projects are
mash-ups of previous sci-fi concepts and
fail to leave a lasting impression. |
