A land that does not turn round
The interpreter by Elizabeth Shaw In Prometheus And Alien: Covenant is back in a science fiction project, and this time it is a series signed Peter Harness (Doctor Who, Wallander). In Constellation, Noomi Rapace embodies Jo, an astronaut on a mission in space. A serious incident takes the life of one of his crewmates and forces the rest of the International Space Station crew to evacuate, but with one of the escape modules out of commission, not everyone can escape. Jo decides to stay behind to try to repair it, and she ends up succeeding and thus returning to her family. But while she is surrounded by her family again, Jo quickly realizes that everything is not going well on earth…
In this psychological thriller where it is difficult to discern truth from fiction, Noomi Rapacewho is no stranger to the particular codes of science fiction and suspense after her roles in Seven Sisters and the trilogy Millennium, shines in the role of a woman who doesn’t quite feel like she fits in when she returns to earth. Is she descending into madness after the traumatic events on the space station, or is she a victim of manipulation?
A vast universe with unknown effects
From its first episode, the series Peter Harness attempts to muddy the waters by offering several theories to viewers. But the biggest hypothesis remains that of the effect that space travel has on men, and more precisely on their psychological state. The series raises philosophical questions about how astronauts feel when they are in space and the place humans have in such immensity, but also how such a journey can change a person. Can you really stay yourself after such a journey?
Constellation attempts to answer all these questions by mixing drama, suspense, and sometimes even a few touches of horror to disturb viewers. Even if it makes you think, this series requires a certain suspension of disbelief from the viewer so that they allow themselves to be guided and surprised by the narration without necessarily understanding the slightest detail. This letting go is facilitated by immersive spatial scenes reminiscent of Gravity, with quality special effects, and a main actress who bursts into the screen. If you are interested in this series, it has just started broadcasting on Apple TV+but you can also watch it on myCANAL.
