IO Last On Earth
Netflix

Io is an interesting sci-film starring Margaret Qualley and Anthony Mackie. When the world becomes too toxic for humans to survive, most of the population escape to Io, a moon of Jupiter. One woman stays behind, trying to breed bees in order to pollinate and clean the Earth naturally. However, when disaster strikes, she plans to escape the planet with another survivor.

The film is a clever commentary on Earth's environmental situation and gives audiences a story of hope. Mackie and Qualley give ambitious and intense performances, delivering the unique dystopian concept with ease and expertise. The unique visual and production style is reminiscent of classic steam punk but with a distinct twist, making every setting a treat on the screen.

Io gets slightly muddled in its own concept. However, it still supplies an intriguing watch and an excellent social commentary plot that leaves audiences thinking. Io may not include some genre stereotypes that would make it an epic sci-fi movie but its concept and performances keep it afloat.

If you have clicked on here, get ready to be bored. I'm just a 20 year old white male who has a (probably) unhealthy obsession with pop culture Film and TV. Handy in a trivia game but not much else. My parents were never murdered, I'm not avenging my dead wife. Just plain, old sat at a computer with a head full of knowledge I mostly don't use I was born and raised in the Black Country near Birmingham, England however am now living in Manchester, England after I moved here two years ago. I currently attend the University of Salford, studying Broadcast Journalism. That's it really. Told you there was nothing special. If you're really that desperate for something to do, follow me on socials. Yes, I do like that ego boost.
