It’s easy these days to rip on someone or something without any clue about how it could be better. Voyagers seems to fall into that category. It was good, but somewhere there was a really good (and better) story. What threw me off as much as anything is that actors in their early to mid 20’s are trying to play teenagers. In some ways I just couldn’t buy that.
The movie did present a good comparison of the societal divide that we are in right now without getting too preachy. For most movies that involve going deep into space, you have to suspend disbelief in some ways but I liked the concept of the “Voyagers” grandchildren as the new planet’s inhabitants instead of people who had been in hyper-sleep or some other coma-like process.
Again, the movies that are coming out right now are few and far between and the quality is hit and miss. I’d say that this one probably is exactly what it set out to be.
