With the “blue” out of his system, Zach (Fionn Whitehead) is seduced by the green-eyed monster and behaves inappropriately towards Sela (Lily-Rose Depp).Ī faulty transmitter jeopardises the success of the Humanitas mission and Richard and young ward Chris Rebbs (Tye Sheridan) prepare to venture outside. With limited resources on board, it's essential that the mission isn't compromised by unplanned pregnancies. Blue drugs ensure the travellers' human instincts are tamed. The crew of the Humanitas are hardly the life and soul of the party but there is a reason for their muted behaviour.
They take their prescribed blue pills, learn lessons about reproduction and enjoy music in a sterile environment. The action skips forward a decade with the bright young things aboard their ship, Humanitas. Scientist Richard Alling (Colin Farrell) realises these children need a guardian and he travels with the pioneers on the one-way mission. The nearest habitable world is more than 80 years away so a generation of astronauts is genetically engineered and raised in a protected environment to minimise the stress of leaving terra firma. The year is 2063 and thanks to global warming, the Earth is doomed.
