A strange, unaccounted for accident with ARTI, the new AI entity helping with space exploration, kills Mac’s father in a mysterious accident six years before the start of the film’s main timeline. If you care about that kind of thing.Īrtificial intelligence, invented by Mac’s (Katee Sackoff ) father, has catapulted space exploration. But there are a few bits which are thematically critical to this analysis - so I’ll do my best to keep this complicated plot pithy.Īnd yes. It’d take about as long to just watch the damn thing. I’ll try to do so briefly, because…let’s be honest: if you haven’t watched this movie, reading my detailed summary of it will be truly and earnestly boring. The summaryīut first, to get there, as Innigo Montoya says: let me sum up. Moore’s Battlestar Galactica, ultimately quite a mindfuck.Īnd it poses some rather…unsavory implications. With that behind us, I think that if we approach 2036 Origin Unknown with intellectual and spiritual curiosity, it is, similar to Ronald D. The point is that 2036 Origin Unknown isn’t a blockbuster this one is supposed to make your brain itch. Insert scathingly mean comment about loving Michael Bay movies here, and a lament about the lowliness of people’s media literacy these days. And way deeper.Īmidst the clang and clamor over the MCU’s Captain Marvel, Avengers: Endgame, and other recent blockbusters, 2036 Origin Unknown was largely ignored by reviewers, and passed off by critics as “boring” with “nothing happening”. Kind of like Sandra Bullock in Gravity, but not so butt-crunchingly long, and with less George Clooney. Katee Sackoff discovers the origins of life once againĪs a consolation prize from the Universe for the MCU’s recent failing to cast Katee Sackoff as Captain Marvel, a few months back, Netflix quietly released a short, tidy little sci-fi ditty mysteriously titled 2036 Origin Unknown starring Sackoff in a nearly one-woman show.
