    • Trivia
      The particles of poisonous dust that flutter across the moon-forest are practical effects, not CGI. Basement dust was thrown into the air, filmed, and overlaid into the finished movie.

    • Quotes

      Ezra: I say we go to your mercs, I'll play the prospector and together we ravage the queen.

      Cee: You're trying to trick me.

      Ezra: And I help you, I can harvest, I can offer protection.

      Ezra: A girl your age, a child, wanders into a camp of fringely mercs. At the end of tour what happens, you appeal to their sympathies? They have none. They are ruthless profiteers. You must have something to offer or they will find something to take from you.

      Cee: Why should I trust you? You stole from us, we did nothing in the end...

      Ezra: That's the fringe, girl. If you are one to point fingers at extortion well, there's not much I can say.

      Cee: And then you killed my father.

      Ezra: Hold on. I'm keen to make the case that Damon killed himself.

      Cee: We were trying to escape.

      Ezra: Was trying to steal my trophy cases, what he was trying to do. A man's work is no petty thing. To you, his daughter I truly apologize for my contribution to his passing. But he was stealing my entire harvest. And actions like these foment a thread of appropriate reactions. Your father knew that... and if he didn't, than he had no business in the green.

      Cee: You're a killer.

      Ezra: I am indeed, but are you?

    A side story from a greater universe
    Prospect, directed by Zeek Earl and Chris Caldwell, is a tale you could see on the fringes of a larger story. It tells about a young teenage girl, played by Sophie Thatcher, who lands on a distant planet with her dad (Jay Duplass), to hunt and harvest precious gemstones that might be their ticket to better life and prosperity. But, on the outer planets, you run into all sorts of danger.

    Prospect is not a large story. Its about a single life, single girl, trying to survive a horrible situation. This story could be told in many ways. It could be a three page short story in a pulp magazine focusing on westerns. It could be a side plot on a TV series. It could be a whole novel, if you padded it and fleshed it out, but even then there's not that much to bite on.

    And that's exactly why the film is so refreshing. Because it is such a rare piece, because it chooses to focus on a smaller story. And because it such a well-told narrative, it manages to make such a story feel grander than it is.

    It helps that the film is brilliantly made. You can very easily see the limitations of the budget, but fortunately modern effects are so good that you can tell a science fiction story, set on a distant planet, and make it seem real even if you don't have the budget for huge sets and elaborate props.

    The acting is also surprisingly good. Thatcher plays her character very mellow, very low-key, but it works. Pedro Pascal as Ezra, a mercenary harvester, is also brilliant. Just the right amount of quirk mixed with world-weariness.

    Prospect is an easy recommendation if you're a fan of the science fiction genre. Beautiful visuals, interesting scenarios, great world-building and off-beat story moments. What's not to like?
