Why you should trust this score
How we stay independent. Editorial scores are not for sale. TVI may take on paid advisory or research work, but no commercial relationship buys coverage, advance access to scores, favorable treatment, or a change to a published finding. We pay for our own streaming subscriptions, and no reviewer sees sponsor data or affiliate revenue tied to a score. More about how we work →
The TVI Take
Don Hall and Qui Nguyen's 2022 Disney feature whose multi-generational male-family premise (Jaeger, Searcher, and Ethan Clade exploring an alien biome together) is more thematically ambitious than the marketing positioning conveyed. The pulp-magazine visual register is the film's distinctive aesthetic commitment; the open queer son's character is rare Disney representation rendered without speech-event framing.
Underperformed commercially but reads as the studio's most structurally honest 2022 work.
