Space travel is confusing.
Just ask Anna Kendrick, who looks very perplexed in a shot from Stowaway, a movie that will debut on Netflix from April 22.
Kendrick stars in the space thriller alongside Daniel Dae Kim, Shamier Anderson, and Toni Collette, with Arctic director Joe Penna at the helm.
More via Netflix:
On a mission headed to Mars, an unintended stowaway accidentally causes severe damage to the spaceship’s life support systems.
Facing dwindling resources and a potentially fatal outcome, the crew is forced to make an impossible decision.
Are they going to eat each other, like in Alive?
No, it’s slightly less grim in that the shortage is to do with oxygen, so scratch cannibalism off the list:
Just play a high-stakes game of rock–paper–scissors, first to three, winner stays alive.
I guess that makes for a rather short movie, though.
Next up is Love and Monsters, which was nominated for the Oscar for Best Visual Effects, and hits Netflix on April 14:
Seven years after the Monsterpocalypse, all of humanity has been forced to live in underground colonies. When Joel Dawson (Dylan O’Brien) reconnects over the radio with his high school girlfriend Aimee, who has been living on the coast 80 miles away, he begins to fall for her again.
Joel realizes that there’s nothing left for him underground, and despite all the danger that stands in his way, he decides he must venture out to find his true love.
Here’s the trailer:
That last monster looked a little Stranger Things-esque.
Our final pick is the documentary, This Is a Robbery: The World’s Biggest Art Heist, which will start screening on April 7.
500 million dollars worth of missing art. A 10 million dollar reward for whoever finds it. It’s your turn to enter the mystery. 30 years ago, two thieves brazenly stole millions of dollars worth of art from Boston’s Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum.
Where the art is now remains a mystery.
Today, investigators reviewing the cold case attempt to recover the missing works, unmask the perpetrators and solve the biggest art heist in history.
We have covered elements of this ridiculous story before, but now the heist has finally received the Netflix treatment:
There is still a $10 million reward on offer to anybody who can tell investigators where the artworks can be found.
I’d also recommend you check out Killing Escobar, a doccie focused on Scottish mercenary and ex-SAS operative, Peter McAleese, who was hired in 1989 to lead a small team of ex-special forces commandos on a mission to assassinate Pablo Escobar.
That one isn’t on Netflix, but looks to be worth the effort.
