Collision Theory

About This Movie

Collision Theory is an intriguing blend of comedy and intellectual sparring. The film dives into this turbulent back-and-forth between a meticulous astrophysicist and a fervent flat-earther, which plays out aboard a plane caught in literal and metaphorical turbulence. The pacing is quirky, with moments of tension giving way to unexpected humor, and it’s pretty fascinating how they manage to keep it light while tackling some heavy themes about belief and science. The practical effects used to depict the plane’s turbulence add a layer of realism, and the performances are solid, particularly in how the leads play off each other’s contrasting worldviews. It’s both thought-provoking and entertaining, with a vibe that feels fresh yet familiar.
