This sci-fi movie might appeal to Stranger Things fans

Online on Disney+ since Friday, May 12, the pitwhich, according to its trailer, has a connection to my product Weird things, is likely to be a hit with the platform’s subscribers with big ears. This sci-fi adventure family movie mixes all the necessary ingredients for a beautiful story that viewers can identify with. Its morals – while not distilled as subtly as the characters continually conjure them up – won’t fail to make adults think while children will marvel at the stunning visuals of space and the moon. We’ll still highlight the lack of originality in the build-up of the main cast of characters, which is a huge downside that we hope to see develop in the years to come.

the pita family movie about space adventures

Caleb and his three best friends Dylan, Burnie and Marcus are born on a mining colony on the Moon where their humble parents work hard to provide them with a better life on a faraway perfect planet called Omega. But when Caleb finds himself orphaned after his father’s death, he is forced to leave his friends to board the ship that will take him to fulfill his parents’ wish. While this 75-year journey, during which he will be frozen, means the loss of his partners who seem doomed to spend their lives in the colony they have always lived in, the four friends decide to live one last adventure together. Their goal is to steal a wagon to explore a mysterious crater, 10 kilometers from the station, a mysterious crater Caleb’s parents told him about all his childhood. Accompanied by Addison, a newcomer isolated from Earth, the four teens are already preparing to live their first real adventure, but above all the one that risks changing their lives forever.

Undisguised similarities with Weird things

If there is no denying that society is changing – the diversity of origins of the teens in the group is already certain: Isaiah Russell-Bailey interprets Caleb (one of the main characters), Billy Barratt plays his best friend Dylan, Orson Hung interprets their friend Burnie and Thomas Boyce plays Marcus , the fourth boy in the troupe – females remain, as in the majority of adventure novels, in the minority. Although the role of McKenna Grace (who plays Addison) is just as important as that of the co-stars, she is nonetheless the only female lead actress – like Eleven in Weird thingsGertie V any. t. extra terrestrial Or even Steve and Andy V fools. Details we think are important to highlight when Tom Harper, director of the upcoming Netflix spy thriller stone heartexpressed her desire to see her feature film launch a new female-led action franchise – à la James Bond or Mission Impossible. When will there be a movie about the unusual – but neither sexy nor girly – adventure of a group of teenage girls?

If lovers Weird things If they notice this resemblance, it’s likely that another stranger jumped on them, too: the striking similarity—physical, vocal, and personal—between Burney’s character (played by Orson Hong) to Dustin’s character (played by Gaten Matarazzo in Weird things). In fact, much like Dustin, Burney is the one whose personality contrasts the most with his friends, whose voice tends to treble high and vocalize at times… Even through Duerson’s eyes, we find something of Dustin. Similarities that can perhaps be linked to one of the producers, common to the two novels, Shawn Levy.

Emotions and morals that make you forget about the inauthenticity of the form

However, what we will remember from the 105 minutes of this feature film is more in substance than in form. immersed in a world without sky or tree, without wind or rain, without water or sun, but also devoid of cultural and entertainment objects; An intermediate world that makes the middle and poor classes work for the upper classes—the continuity of our present society, despite unmentioned climatic and technological changes that could have prompted populations to migrate toward a better planet—in which children discover freedom, travel, and adventure. The palette of feelings evoked by the film is vast, on the scale of life, which the main characters, from the prime of their 14 years, seem to discover for the first time. As the words of Caleb’s late father resonate in his thoughts, we also remember that “What matters is not the destination but the journey and the people who accompany us“. What'”We always come out changedFrom this journey. A way to define road trips as much as life itself. Through the most dangerous, but also the most beautiful adventure of their lives, the five teens will learn–and remind us–that it is possible to become a master of one’s destiny.
