Voyagers

Voyagers (2021) is Neil Burger's sci-fi thriller you can watch online on iFILM. A crew of lab-bred teenagers is sent toward a distant planet that only their grandchildren will ever reach.

Earth is dying, so humanity launches a ship staffed entirely by the young. These kids were grown from donor material and raised inside sterile walls, with no sunlight and no attachments. Their lone adult chaperone is Richard, played by Colin Farrell. One day Christopher and Zac (Finn Whitehead and Tye Sheridan) realize the daily "vitamin" drink is quietly flattening their feelings. They stop drinking it, and as emotion floods back, so do fear, desire and a scramble for control.

Lily-Rose Depp co-stars as the ship's medic. Burger frames the whole thing as Lord of the Flies in deep space: strip away the chemistry of obedience, and what do these children become? Cold visuals, cramped corridors, mounting paranoia. Stream Voyagers (2021) online on iFILM.
