In the Black

About This Movie

So, 'In the Black' is this indie space drama that really leans into the isolation and raw emotions of its characters. The pacing has this almost contemplative vibe, where you really feel the weight of the situation they're in. The two pilots, stuck after a skirmish, spend more time grappling with their pasts and the consequences of their choices than doing the space action thing. The practical effects, while not groundbreaking, have a certain charm that gives it a gritty, grounded feel. It’s not flashy, but there's an honesty to the performances that draws you in. It’s a character piece that echoes themes of survival and camaraderie, set against the vast emptiness of space, which adds to the overall atmosphere.
