Unfamiliar Cosmos (2020)

The Radar read

A quieter title still finding its audience, though the rating rests on a thin sample, so treat it as provisional.

Synopsis

To travel an infinite universe is to find the unexpected. Ares (Phelan Davis), a soldier of a distant and bittersweet future, finds himself thrown into The Void: a dimension used by humanity as a shortcut through space, thought to contain nothing but emptiness. This theory is proven wrong, as we discover the vast footprint of an ancient and ethereal alien history. Early in our journey Ares stumbles onto John (Joe Finley), a troubled young man from the recent past, also thought to be trapped in a part of The Void. As the two must part ways, they find themselves on similar paths, surreal and uncertain, each step taking them further down the inter-dimensional rabbit hole.

Radar blends quality, momentum and freshness into one “what to watch now” number — so a great older film can sit lower than a rising new release. The Quality signal above is the time-neutral rating, which is why an acclaimed classic keeps a high quality score even when its Radar number is lower. Radar outputs are editorial algorithmic recommendations, not objective facts, and may change as signals update. A Radar score is not the same as a TMDB, IMDb or critic rating.
