Gaia

About This Movie

Gaia is this interesting blend of sci-fi and environmental commentary. It takes a deep dive into the moral dilemmas faced by a young scientist, who’s caught in a web of corporate cynicism while trying to address the climate crisis. The pacing isn’t fast, but it builds tension effectively, and you can really feel the weight of her choices. The atmosphere is almost claustrophobic, enhanced by some solid practical effects that ground the story in a believable reality. Performances are pretty solid, bringing a sense of urgency and complexity to the characters. It’s distinctive in how it approaches AI not just as a tech issue, but as a reflection of humanity’s failings and aspirations. Definitely a film that sticks with you.
