A visually striking, conceptually interesting sci-fi with a great lead performance, cool score, and impactful ending to boot (the blooming flower and “Maybe tomorrow”). The titular setting, its retro-futuristic surroundings (1950s alien suit vibes for sure), and corresponding plot are a little plodding and drab at times compared to the compelling dramatic flashbacks but they have their golden/gross moments too (see Fret’s excruciating wake-up, the unique cross section shots of the pod).
