if I had a nickel for every time there was a movie released in 2026 centred around a guy who is unwillingly sent on an investigative expedition into the vast unknown with no support, by a woman whose name is three letters long and the last two of those letters are 'va', who is blamed for being forced to take desperate measures to save humanity and is ultimately portrayed as more unfeeling and unattached, as she sends the male main character on a one-way trip where he is intended to die for the sake of a chance at hope after an event where the stars fade and die, just to 'check out' what is happening in an anomalous part of the universe, and they have first contact with a complex alien life form, plus the film uses imagery of a red light running across from their right temple to their left cheek, and the character is told that their life is worth sacrificing because the threat is bigger than them then I would have two nickels. which isn't a lot but damn. it's so fucking cool that it happened twice.
