The movie has nice shots, but its slow pacing, nothing really happens. If you are pregnant and have to throw up many times a day does it make sense to go out for a space walk ?

Big let down, 5 stars for the effort and shots.

The original Dutch book is about a young boy, who can trust nobody and feels obliged to deliver a letter to a king in a far away country to prevent bad things are going happen. This movie makes some silly changes: he travels with the princess/girl he meets somewhere on the road, he actually likes a lot ? What happened to the other boy he meets in the mountains who travels with him ? Also the group of kids following him etc is not in the book.

Dont think it really improved the story to make it more inclusive, diverse whatever.

So what happened here ? Girl stays behind on earth, where the oxygen is almost gone due to humans making a mess. A man with a balloon arrives, urging her to come with him to catch the last rocket to IO, where the rest of humanity went. Girl has a boyfriend at IO, but he breaks up with here. When the movie gets a bit of story, the girl dies because she wants to stay. Movie ends, credits roll. Save your time, not worth it. I expected a nice scifi story with a roadtrip, happy end etc. What a let down.
