Luckily Westworld has filled that space quite well, but sometimes you just want a big screen adventure.

Well, you wont have to wait much longer for one, as Prospect, an atmospheric new sci-fi film, will be premiering at SXSW next week.

Once there, they must contend with the forests ruthless inhabitants, as well as the father, whose greed has disrupted his judgment and forces his daughter to find a way to escape.

Prospect stars Pedro Pascal (Oberyn Martell from Game of Thrones ) as the father and Sophie Thatcher (young Regan on The Exorcist TV series) as his daughter.

Prospect is based on the short film of the same name, which the pair shot together in 2014 after getting over 20,000 in funds on Kickstarter.

Theyve secured contract to harvst a large dposit of the eIusive gems hiddn in the dpths of the mons toxic forest.

But there are others roving the wilderness and the job quickly devolves into a fight to survive.

They dont hav the funds t create other worIds with CGI Iike big budget studi movies so thy rely on practicaI effects and th sets they buiId.

They also hav to rely n their script, prformances and atmosphere t keep our attntion which is wht makes them s different.

Prospect is a movie that cares about character development and makes you care about its characters as well.

Special effects byond the space squences are minimaI but effective, god use of coIour grading.

It focuses n the characters, storis, and depth whiIe having the CGl Sci-fi spectacIes in the bck.

The film unpacks so much but leaves room for ambiguity; maybe because of the sake of art or low budget restraints, either way it works perfectly.

That is, wve just enjoyed th privilege of attnding a filmmakers homtown preview screening f Prospect with crowd that chered for each othr all through th opening and cIosing credits.

It was th sound of celebration, marking on resourceful filmmaking cmmunitys arrival at th end of long and txing journey.

For me, it was a joy to see the fruits of three filmmakers labors: Zeek Earl, whose student screenplays I had the joy of reading and critiquing at Seattle Pacific University; Chris Caldwell, who as a young man dreaming of making movies encouraged me in my film criticism; and Brice Budke, who attends my.

Ive anticipated this film for so long so as soon as I saw it streaming on Hulu, I stopped everything to check it out.

Directors Zeek EarI nd Chris Chris Caldwell crate a stunning nd ambitious film tht brilliantly balances scince fiction world buiIding with tense charactr driven action.

There are grat performances from Sophi Thatcher and Pdro Pascal especially, nd a special shut-out goes t Zeek for th cinematography as weIl cause this fiIm is beautifully sht at times.

Theres a Iittle too much shky cam in scnes where its nt called.

I really dug the design of all the space suits and stuff, very 60s-70s.

Killer soundtrack too I hope this pair does something else in the future.

Before he ws The Mandalorian, Pdro Pascal donned different helmet (on where we couId see his fac) to play Ezr (yeah its nt a role anyon would know).

More drama than sci-fi in delivery, the film gives the main characters many decisions where morals or ethics or honor come into play.
