Second, he set it in 2016, which duly came and went trailing various varieties of disaster, but none of which instantaneously turned continental Europe into a desiccated wasteland patrolled by roving bands of scavengers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTides\u201d is in English, and set at a time when a matchbook commemorating 100 years since the moon landing is a family heirloom passed down from a grandfather \u2014 in other words, far enough in the future that no one can impugn its powers of prophecy, at least not for a century or so. And given the opening titles, which inform us tersely yet vaguely that the reason for the Earth\u2019s uninhabitability this time is \u201cClimate Change. Pandemics. War.,\u201d who among us would dare? One might even be pretty impressed that, according to this optimistic prognostication, we may even have a couple more decades as earthlings to look forward to.<\/p>\n<p>Not so astronaut Louise Blake (Nora Arnezeder). Born and raised on Kepler-209, the planet to which Earth\u2019s \u201cruling elite\u201d fled when the world flooded, as the film opens Blake looks to have mere seconds to live back on the Blue Planet. Hurtling toward the earth\u2019s surface as part of a mission to see if it might be safe to return, something has gone wrong with the capsule. They crash into the sea. One of her crewmembers dies. The other, Tucker (Sope Dirisu) is injured. Blake, however survives mostly unscathed and so takes it on herself to go out alone on the first recon mission.<\/p>\n<p>She has six hours till the tides come back in and four hours till they\u2019re due to send word back to Kepler-209, but she\u2019s only been gone a bit when a weird weather front starts rolling in and a, say it with me, <em>roving band of scavengers<\/em> takes both her and Tucker hostage. They come to in a dungeon\/well that fills up quickly at high tide, with the luckless Tucker in dire need of medical attention. Tide tables, inclement weather, weeping wounds, windows of communication: this is perhaps a surfeit of deadlines, but you can never have too many loudly ticking clocks, right?<\/p>\n<p>The scavengers are a tribe of survivors, and even more surprisingly, there are children among them. Since the humans back on Kepler have become sterile (add \u201cbiological\u201d to the row of clocks above), the most crucial part of Blake\u2019s mission is to see if Mama Earth will work her old magic and allow them to reproduce once again. But Blake\u2019s own personal mission is to find her father \u2014 yes, \u201cTides\u201d is also a \u201cSpace Dad\u201d movie \u2014 an astronaut sent on the first mission to Earth, who was never heard from again despite the rash promises he makes to Louise in curiously unmoving flashbacks. Perhaps the leader of the more technologically advanced faction who lay waste to the scavenger village that day can help her with both missions \u2026 but can she trust his initial friendly overtures? Of course she can\u2019t; he\u2019s played by Iain Glen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTides\u201d has very little new to add to the well-populated genre about depopulated dystopias, but being a mash-up of \u201cDune\u201d and \u201cWaterworld\u201d with a dash of \u201cChildren of Men\u201d and a soup\u00e7on of \u201cWALL-E\u201d doesn\u2019t have to be a problem. It certainly looks the part: DP Markus F\u00f6rderer\u2019s handsome, muted widescreen frames love the low sun\u2019s pale light playing across the coastal tide plains. They worship the mists that dampen figures down to ghostly silhouettes and basically want to marry production designer Julian R. Wagner\u2019s excellent gloomy, grimy interiors. Lorenz Dangel\u2019s score is tastefully minimal, the actors all believe what they\u2019re doing, all is solid, and while derivative, Fehlbaum and Mariko Minoguchi\u2019s screenplay does nose tentatively into some interestingly conflicted areas, about biological determinism and just what us humans can morally justify to secure the survival of our own. Not to mention how we define \u201cour own\u201d and who we exclude from that definition.<\/p>\n<p>But despite the seven different layers of drama piled one atop the other, the relationships of the piece never quite catch, which is particularly noticeable when instead of paying off with any of the emotional, psychological and even existential revelations that are right there for the taking, the film retreats into a timidly unsatisfying kill-the-bad-guy-and-everything-else-will-sort-itself-out finale. For all its classy craftsmanship, \u201cTides\u201d just ebbs away.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n  !function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    if (f.fbq) return;\n    n = f.fbq = function() {\n      n.callMethod ?\n          n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n    };\n    if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n    n.push = n;\n    n.loaded = !0;\n    n.version = '2.0';\n    n.queue = [];\n    t = b.createElement(e);\n    t.async = !0;\n    t.src = v;\n    s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n    s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n  }(window, document, 'script',\n      'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '586935388485447');\n  fbq('init', '315552255725686');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
