Critics' Reviews

Directed by Pixar wizard Andrew Stanton (WALL•E, the forthcoming Toy Story 5), this streaming-banished riddle juggles three timelines, toggling between mankind’s past, present and future. We begin sometime during the Pleistocene Epoch, where a family of Neanderthals struggles to survive. No sooner have we met them than we’re blipped forward hundreds of thousands of years to follow an academic (Rashida Jones) studying their remains while coping with a family illness and a long-distance relationship. Meanwhile — or rather, much later still — a lone astronaut (Kate McKinnon) settles into a space odyssey. Her mission: relocate a vulnerable cargo of embryos across the cosmos to humanity’s new home.
