Verdict on A Million Days
A Million Days is a sci-fi thriller following three scientists trying to figure out what a simulation is suggesting. It is the eve of a big mission, but a computer simulation has started showing uncomfortable results that could jeopardise the mission. They must work together to understand their findings and decide whether or not to go through with the mission.
This sci-fi movie challenges the idea of risky journeys through space and using A.I. to be involved in the mission. It offers an open discussion about the worst things that could happen while challenging the unknown within the universe. The idea it happens over one night, offers up a real-time feeling, as the decision would change everything they have worked toward. In the end, this brings all the suspense needed for a much bigger question about the future of mankind in an ever-changing environment.
