Voyagers premieres in theaters on Friday, April 9. Read more on IGN's policy on movie reviews in light of COVID-19 here. IGN strongly encourages anyone considering going to a movie theater during the COVID-19 pandemic to check their local public health and safety guidelines before buying a ticket.
Set aboard a starship run by a crew of genius teens who won't live long enough to see their destination, Voyagers -- which is touted more broadly as "Lord of the Flies in Space" -- is a sci-fi thought experiment that, at times, is too obvious and on-the-nose for its own good.
Written and directed by Neil Burger (Divergent, Limitless), Voyagers has the makings of a well-meaning message all burrito'd up in a science-fiction casing, a time-honored trick of the genre, but it also has the trappings of a project that doesn't know when to hold back and trust its audience enough to work out some of the ethical equations for themselves. Yes, despite an intriguing concept, and solid performances from its young cast (plus an errant Colin Farrell), the film is too blatant with its themes and, because of that, too safe with its payout. An allegory this thinly-veiled maybe should have gone even further, and been even harsher, with its story and not played things as safe as it does.
Sheridan's Chris and Whitehead's Zac are set up too easily as opposite sides of the good/evil coin while Depp, more than she should be, is relegated to being the object of the two boys' affections. It's a love triangle where one corner, mostly, wants nothing to do with it. Again, the cast is very good, and the way they all have to transform from an automaton state into wildlings is an intriguing metamorphosis, but the script lays everything out in too predictable a manner.
On one level, you can certainly appreciate Voyagers as a fable, where knowing how the story's going to play out is part of the journey, but other than that the film sits sort of uncomfortably between perhaps being more cerebral by holding back and a project that makes things even crazier, and consequences more brutal, so to balance out the all-but-transparent subtext. The end result is a cool concept hampered by unsubtle execution.
While sci-fi is generally rife with allegories, a steadier hand was needed here in Voyagers. The messaging, though noble and necessary, feels obvious to the point that it takes you out of the film. The cast is talented and the premise is promising, but the story plays out in a predictable fashion, which also works, in a way, to undercut the meaning...
Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 6, 2023. Voyagers holds a well-known, successful sci-fi formula and takes it through the most uninteresting, unsurprising, frustratingly generic...
40 % Written by SWITCH. on April 8, 2021. It's always nice to watch some unpretentious and industrious Hollywood B-movie science fiction in a cinematic landscape dominated by franchise-obsessed, superhero-crazed tentpoles. Unfortunately, 'Voyagers' never transcends its derivative origins and basic thrills. - Jake Watt.
