Settlers, A Martian colonization story turned nightmare
Settlers trailer had been released.
Sofia Boutella from 2017 The Mummy movie gets her first major lead role with Settlers. Colonizing Mars has always been a science fiction fantasy but there have always been risks. Mars is a hostile environment but people always wanted to conquer it. I just hope that the first real-life settlement won’t have a similar fate like the people from this movie.
The World of Settlers seemed to be in an early terraformed Mars because people walk around without spacesuits. The place is still a desert but there multiple settlements and colonies where people live. You can see vegetable gardens and people also keep chickens for meat and eggs. They seem to live with an open sky instead of a glass-domed Martian city like what we see in Total recall.
One of the central characters of the film is Remmy. (Brooklynn Prince ) She is one of the first children who are born and raised on Mars. She lives peacefully there with her mother Ilsa (Sofia Boutella ) and her father Rezza (Jonny Lee Miller) She seemed to have a happy yet sheltered life. She has a happy family and lives the exciting life of being one of the pioneers of a future human space colony.
There is a scene where is pointing at the sky to Earth as she may have curiosity about the planet of origin of her species.
Ilsa and Remmy use to have a happy life in Mars
All of that will change when she saw vandalism on their window that says “Leave”
One by one people seemed to disappear. Is someone killing the people inside these settlements? There many possibilities like the actual Martians that live on the planet. Or it is the people themselves who kill each other. Usually, people have gone hostile when they are isolated from a far place.
Settlers will be out in the theater this July 23rd.
