Planet B

About This Movie

So, 'Planet B' directed by Aude Léa Rapin is an interesting piece, set in France, 2039. The atmosphere is thick with tension, right from the start. We follow Julia Bombarth, an activist, who finds herself in this bizarre, almost dystopian setup after going missing with her group. The pacing is deliberate, drawing you into the eerie new world they create; it's like a slow burn that keeps you on edge. The practical effects here stand out, giving the film a gritty realism that enhances the overall immersion. The themes of resistance and survival are palpable, and Bombarth’s performance really captures that desperation. It’s distinctive, really, in how it combines sci-fi elements with a sharp thriller edge.
