How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A measured, intellectual plea wrapped in science fiction spectacle, a diplomat from the stars arrives with a cold ultimatum, forcing humanity to confront its capacity for destruction. The film unfolds with deliberate pacing and genuine philosophical weight, more concerned with what we choose to do than with thrilling action.
