Retrograde

About This Movie

Retrograde has this gritty feel, you know? It's set on a research ship stuck in the harsh Antarctic, and the whole atmosphere is just chilling. The two time travelers, they clash ideologically, which adds a layer of intrigue. The pacing can feel a bit uneven at times, but it builds tension nicely. The practical effects stand out, especially considering when it was made; there's a certain charm to how they approach the sci-fi elements. Performances are solid, with a real sense of urgency driving the narrative forward. It’s interesting how it tackles themes of morality and the consequences of one’s choices across time. Definitely something to think about as you watch.
